Classical seniors had a reputa- tion for being very studious bookworms. Although the truth of this statement is questionable, there is no doubt about the tact that they know how to have a good time, and more importantly when to have it! During the week, these schol- ars could be found at the library working diligently on English term papers, or elsewhere shar- pening their vital mathematical skills. Even though these students were devoted to their school work, the most popular topic at lunch was not Math or Physics, but the upcoming weekend. When Friday finally arrived, these students became abnor- mally uneasy and eager as “Thank God It’s Friday!” ran through their minds. Those who were unlucky enough to find themselves in class sixth period began fidgeting in their seats. Their unfortunate teachers stopped trying to keep their at- tention at 2:00, because they rec- ognized the signs; there was no way to stop “The Weekend Syn- teh § Lo) ‘OMBINE 3ELECT “WRITE drome.” After eating dinner, Classical seniors all across Springfield hopped into the shower where they transformed from mild-man- nered and conservative to bold and outrageous! As the sun set, groups of party goers cruised the party scene. They partied through the night until they real- ized that their curfew was draw- ing near. The Friday night crusaders awoke as the sun glared through their bedroom windows, intensi- fying their agonizing headaches. Even though in excruciating pain, caused by “a few too many the previous evening, the seniors still looked forward to an- other night of entertainment. After all their household duties had been completed, the wild seniors joined triends to cruise the party scene one more time before the weekend came to a close. Sunday, the worn out partier was awakened by the smell of breakfast. The senior had re- turned to his old conservative self. Again a serious student, a panic buzzer went off in his brain as he remembered he had tests in Latin and Chemistry the next day. A composition was due for English, and some Algebra homework had to be done for fourth period. Like all good Clas- sical students, he got to work im- mediately. Having studied through dinner and his favorite T.V. show, he managed to get to bed by one o'clock Monday morning. As the relieved senior snuggled under the covers, he’ thought of the great weekend he had just experienced and began to anticipate the ones to come. 1. “Did you hear about the party Friday night?” whispers Phalba Smith to Ke- cia Stewart. 2. Brian Almeida yawns after a rough night of partying. 3. A little too much partying, Janinne Pro- vost? Seniors 27

Happiness As a student in high school, you were not concerned only with your academic life, but you were also aware of events which occurred all over the world. Dur- ing your high school years, there were many times when you shared in the joy and tears of the United States as well as those of other countries. As a freshman, you partook in the world wide shock at the successive deaths of Popes Paul and John Paul. A year later, the world was again astonished when the Iranians took many in- nocent Americans hostage. You tried to imagine how those cap- tives felt. However, you knew that you could never fully em- pathize with the fear in their hearts. Fortunately, things were not all bad in your sophomore year. In the Olympic Games, America’s hockey team = sur- prised the world when it won a gold medal. In April of the same year, you were happily surprised when the teachers of Springfield went on strike. Of course, that joy did not last for long when you ended your school year in July instead of June. Your junior year began with another unfortunate event when the famed John Lennon of the former rock and roll band “The Beatles’’ was killed. A month later, your confidence in society was restored when Ronald Rea- gan was inaugurated. A few days before he took the oath, you gave a cheer of joy along with the rest of America when the hos- tages were released. Soon, though, you were dismayed by the attempted assassination of the new president. Your last two 28 Seniors And ears years in high school were not all filled with sad moments. Headlin- ing joyous events was the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. During your school years, the first transatlantic bal- loon trip was made. The space shuttle, the Columbia, completed its first successful run, much to the joy of Americans every- where. You, as a high school student on the threshhold of adulthood, college, and a career, exper- ienced a variety of feelings dur- ing your high school years. These events helped to shape the world you will enter and they will always be remembered by the class of ‘82’. 1. Steve Scott wishes he was in Prince Charles’ shoes. 2. Patricia Long remem- bers the shock she experienced upon learning John Lennon’s death. 3. Memories of the year 1980. 4. Mouna Chamoun and Kim Doersam show us the natural look. 5. “Will you please stop sending me love letters?” pleads Debra Tower. 6. “I don’t know about you, but I don’t see a thing down there.” says An- gel Rodriguez. 7. “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” says Dale Forest with Joel Oliviero and Larry Jordan. 8. “Geoffrey Bazegian stop it! I’m not that kind of girl!” warns Laurie Case. Ds aD DD aD aD SP =P =P DP LP DP PMP PP PW —P —sP —sP —s Andrea C. Dvorchak 25 Hobson Street Band, Choir Lisa Y.
