4 The beginning of the end ... What will the future of Classical High School be? Where will the memories of Springfield’s first high school lead from here? The many memories and legends held within the walls of the old and decrepit building we called Classical High School are carried on by the real Classical High School- the students. The class of 1986 exemplified the determination and talent that Classical graduates had had throughout its long and glorious history. This determination and talent will keep Classical alive forever. : Through the use of “The Final Edition”, of the Blue White, we on the Yearbook staff will show through words and pictures that Classical High School lives on, thanks to the Class of ’86. Through these pages in the final chapter of Classical High School’s history, you’ll find out why the Class of ’86 shone through as the most special class to emerge from Classical High School. The Class of ’86 not only carried on the tradition of academic excel- lence at Classical, but also stood out in athletes, school spirit, and community support. As you look through this yearbook, remember the football games at which you cheered the Bulldogs on to victory, re- member the dance at which you first met your old boyfriend or girl- friend, and smile at the thoughts of the activities you participated in. Each student you'll read about or see in this yearbook was special in his or her own way. He or she may have been the outstanding scholar, the tremendous athlete, or the one with the reassuring smile. We on The Blue White staff depicted these individuals, as well as the Class of ’86 as a whole, in words and pictures. When you pick up this book, don’t just remember the spectacular events, but think about the great times spent with friends, and reminisce about those outstanding indivi- duals who touched you in their own special ways. We also showed the effects that Classical students had on the school as a whole. You may look back on the class officers who carried your class through thick and thin. You may look back on the outstanding goalie who lifted Classical’s soccer team to new heights. Or, you may look back on the class as a whole-the class that many will remember as the final and most outstanding class to graduate from Classical High School. Each person will hold different memories of Classical High School. Some will remember it as the place where he or she spent the best years of his or her life, the place where everlasting friends were made, or the building block to success. But you have the advantage of re- membering Classical in a unique way-looking at the “Final Edition” of The Blue White. So, as you browse through these pages, you may have different memories than those of your friends, but each memory is Special in its own way. Relive these memories as you look through this book. Enjoy Classical’s final publication. There may not be a Clas- sical High School building, but Classical High School people and memories live on. “Even though this yearbook may fade with age, the memories it holds never will.” Mary Kate LeDoux, Kristin Donahue, Kara Haseltine, and Jennifer Crianza show the closeness of Classical friendship. Opening Paul Bradley smiles at the thought of the new year.
