Future Inspiration Charles Seelig received this letter several days ago in his locker. It read: To Charles Seelig, President of the Class of 1977, I cannot reveal to you your future because if I do disclose it, your actions will be determined by it, and your actions should be made by yourselves. But I can tell you that the future of the class of 1977 is recorded in the pages of history. The crisis of your future will be solved and the class of 1977 will be remembered for their solutions to these problems. Whether every member of the class actively participated or not, they are a part of our past and we thank them for our present. Classical now, as in your time is known for its variety and accomplishments. The oldest high school in the city, its tradition has prevailed. The Tricentennial has been for us as the Bicentennial was for you, a turning point in which the nation started on a calmer and more fruitful road. In our future, as in yours, people will make the difference, and the members of the class of 1977 are a group of young adults to be proud of. Yours truly, The President of the class of 2077 I hope he is right! Good Luck, Charles Seelig ‘Life at Classical is like a piano ... what you get out of it, depends on how you play it.” Mary Abeid Blue White Agent 3 Baseball John Aberdale 1.

“Acquaintances can be made anywhere; friends | are made at Classical.” It’s A First! The class of '77 makes history! It is the first in Classical to have had four different class presidents. The student body’s having desired new leadership each year seems to be the explanation for this unique occurrence. Past presidents, Billie Duchano, ninth grade; John Vadnais, sophomore; and 10 AVA Cynthia Bakos Elaine Contant, eleventh grade share with senior president, Charles Seelig, the same basic reasons for having run for office. They all felt a need to foster class spirit as well as to improve the school as a whole. To arouse class spirit and pay expenses, fund raising events such as bake sales, car washes, and dances have been held. All of these class events proved beneficial. Besides being class president for a Marc Barowsky Marc Barrette year, each has been active in other student government activities or experienced leadership positions on sports teams. These experiences range everywhere from class representatives to basketball captains. At Classical being elected class president is an honor, but fulfilling the job is a challenge.
