Clinton High School - Memorabilia Yearbook (Clinton, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1985 volume:

CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL CLINTON, MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME 72 1 As we, the class of 1985, prepare to end our high school days and pursue our various dreams, we turn around one last time to bestow our gratitude upon three very special advisors: Cynthia Whalen, Paul Rodolico, and Joseph Balvin. From the moment the curtain first rose on our Freshman Act until the final curtain call at Graduation, they were the backstage voices which prompted, cued, and cheered us on to our best performance. Although they never stood in the glaring spotlight of center stage, we recognize our advisors as having been the backbone of our production. Without their guiding presence behind the scenes, the cast could not have succeeded in its endeavors. Words seem insufficient thanks for the constant dedication and support which they’ve unselfishly given throughout our four years, but our appreciation runs deeper than printed praise. We offer to you Miss Whalen, Mr. Rodolico, and Mr. Balvin, our deepest gratitude — straight from the heart. TRIBUTE TO A LEADER The completion of this yearbook signifies an important part of our lives — the timeless memories of our high school years bound up in one volume; a neat little bundle of our history that can be held in out- hands and relived time and time again with the opening of the cover. As the years pass and our memories begin to fade, we will turn to the last vestige of our high school years — MEMORABILIA 85 — and return to this time for a few fleeting moments; become teenagers once more. This was the goal of the Yearbook Staff; to provide each member of the Class of 1985 with something of priceless value in the years to come: reflections of friendship and youth. This goal could not have been achieved without a guiding hand to aid us in the organization of our four years; someone to help us P reserve the memories which vve worked so hard to create. We, the earbook Staff of MEMORABILIA 85, now take this time to profess our sentiments of gratitude to Mr. Edward Philbin, our yearbook advisor. Throughout the course of our labor, Mr. Philbin donated his time and patience in the name of MEMORABILIA 85. Sometimes it seemed we had taken on more than vve could handle; production was low and tempers ran high, but somehow he always guided us through, weathering our catastrophes and celebrating our progress. Now, as the lights dim on this final production of the Class of 1985, we acknowledge the great debt we owe to you, Mr. Philbin. Thank you for your time and understanding; thank you for staying with us even through the rough times; but most of all, as we hold upon our laps this precious part of our lives — THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! “You handle it, I’ve had enough. “Sure! Sounds good to me. “You did what?!” “We will make this deadline! 4 THE BEST of TIMES 1 .James Vanasse 2. Lisa DeBlois 3. Lori DeBlois 4. Irene Cordi 5. Bill Gonsorcik 6. Jim Janda 7.

Robin Heiser As we began our Freshman Year at C.H.S., the Class of 1985 looked like a mismatched group of actors and actresses, unable or unwilling to per- form. Yet as Spirit Week began, we were deter- mined that despite the boos and jeers of the crowd, we would not go unnoticed. Budding poets Tena Bashaw and Sneila Carr created a Class Poem which tied the Senior Class entry for first place. Knowing that we would need the monetary means to fund our future endeavors, our Class Advisors, Cynthia Whalen and Paul Rodolico, wasted no time in organizing our first fundraisers. Bake sales started us on our way, and car washes proved themselves to be both profitable and fun (and wet!). Being a class which loves to perform, we put together a “band to play in tne Thanksgiving Show. )ane Lynch plaved lead singer, with Nancy Russell on guitar and Lori DeBlois beating on the drums. The rest of our first year w as typical of the con- fused Freshman. Many of us wandered around, bound on a perpetual search for the Student Lounge and the Express Elevator (thanks to Mr. Daniel McLaughlin!). Our Class Officers also did their best to guide us through the year. Joseph Pastpiale as President, Brendon Gilchrest as Vice-President, Ann Murphy as Secretary, and Nancy McEvilly as Treasurer did a fine job representing the Class of 1 985 during its First Act. As the year finally drew to a close, we went back- stage to prepare ourselves for bigger and better things in Act II — our Sophomore Year. ACT I FRESHMAN YEAR 8 ■n ACT II — SOPHOMORE YEAR THE GAELS ARE RHP THE HAWKS APART As Sophomores, we acted like all Sophomores do — we were a bit conceited. No longer the deb- utantes of the school, we relished the opportunity to give back to the incoming Freshmen a little of what we had received the previous year. Cries of “dirt, dirt!” made us smile smugly (and with re- lief!), for we knew that they were not directed toward us. We were Sophomores — and we planned to do it all! Our Class Officers — Mary Camacho as Presi- dent, Brendon Gilchrest as Vice President, Nancy Russell as Secretary, and Nancy McEvilly as Trea- surer — soon took the initiative in raising the money which we would need in the two most ex- pensive years of all — our forthcoming Junior and Senior Acts. Being an artistic class, we were determined to snatch victory in the Spirit Week Hall Decorating Contest. The many hours we spent beautifying our hall with original wonders (including a huge paper- mache Gael) finally paid off, for tne Sophomore Class of ’85 wasjudged as having the best hall. Once again we triumphed in the Class Poem competi- tion, the latest masterpiece being written by Tena Bashaw and Nancy Russell. By the time the Interclass Dramatics Competi- tion rolled around, we were ready for it. When the curtain came down, we had garnered several awards. Michael Bonin held the trophy for Best Actor, and Dawn Grebner tied Marie Gannon (Class of ’83) for the coveted award of Best Actress. The crowning triumph came as our Sophomore Class production was dubbed Best Overall Play, proving again our ability to withstand pressure and perform to the best of our abilities. 1 1 It i jj ACT III — JUNIOR YEAR Junior Year opened with much anticipation for things to come. As Juniors, we had the respect of the underclassmen, but none of the responsibilities of the Seniors. We made the most of our position and freedom, for we knew that it would end all too soon. We began by electing class officers — Michael Bonin, president; Jodi Loverro, vice president; Nancy Russell, secretary; and Nancy McEvilly, treasurer. They helped to organize many class functions and fund raisers, including selling carnations and directing Spirit Week. Spirit Week turned out to be a huge success. Along with the traditional competitions, we introduced new activities such as the basketball free throw, pie-eating contest, cos- tume day, and the tricycle race. We worked furiously that week, almost to the point of exhaustion, but our persistance paid off when the points were tallied and the Junior Class was declared the winner. The pinnacle of Spirit Week was the Homecoming Dance, and although we lost the football game, our spirits still soared high that night. In April tne highlight of Junior Year took place — our Junior Prom, held at Mechanic’s Hall in Worcester. We wished the night would never end, but alas, it ended all too quickly, as did the final weeks of our Junior Year. Now all tnat awaited was that one last obstacle — Senior Year. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART Spirit Week activities came to an end with our long-awaited Homecom- ing Dance. Spirits soared as the music of “Glass Leaf’ filled the air and created the magic, sparkling aura in which we danced. At the end of the evening, Nancy Russell became our leading lady when she was crowned Homecoming Queen. Guest starring as members of her court were Sheila Carr, Suzanne Coltey, Kathleen Kittredge, and Kim Thomas. Capturing the male lead by being chosen King was Brian Cas- son, taking with him David Freel, Chris Innamorati, James Janda, and Paul Tambolleo as Subjects. When the stage lights dimmed and the final note of music faded away, we drifted off into tne night, taking with us the precious memories of a “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” UP WHERE WE BELONG Our second dance number, the Junior Prom, was staged on April 27, 1984, at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. “Right on Red pro- vided the music as we laughed, sang, and danced the night away. Lori DeBlois and Damien Bailey found themselves occupying center stage as they were chosen Queen and King, with Doreen Cooper, Patricia Dowd, Jane Lynch, Jamie Moran, Ann Murphy, and Kim Thomas acting as members of their court. BOBBY’S SONG IN MEMORIAM Kiss for me, the people in my heart goodbye; Dry your tears and save them for another cry. Sorry my trip was planned so unexpectedly — Remember our laughs of horses in fields; keep loving me. I talked to Peter at the gate . . . He said it’s good if 1 stick around. There’s no more sickness, no more pain; My new ears hear a heavenly sound. Pictures tell stories, stories show pictures, Keep mine in your heart. My trail on this earth was a finish line To a brand new start. In loving another you must know There’s nothing wrong; Just set free and hold the meaning to Bobby’s Song.

Zoltany Now the time has come to say goodbye, And we want to smile but can only cry. For our high school years are now finished; The vision we created is now diminished. And as we close the doors and turn around. Our lovely dream is now lost — the one we found. And when we grow old in the years to come, And we pick up the phone to call someone, We’ll see these moments of time that came and went Were timeless moments that we spent. When our pictures yellow and our flowers die, And on our memories we must rely To remember these great years for a while. And to cherish the thoughts that make us smile. Then once again as we read through these lines, Then is when we ' ll realize that these are the best of times. Tena Bashaw and Sheila Carr Spirit Week, 1981 ACT IV — SENIOR YEAR As the final curtain rose on our high school performance, we prepared ourselves for a grand finale unlike any other. We threw ourselves into Spirit Week with a determination that boded no good for the competition. First place victories in the class poem competition and the basketball free-throw event paved the way towards our second consecutive Spirit Week victory. Our class officers found this year their busiest ever. Mike Bonin as President, Jodi Loverro as Vice-President, Nancy Russell as Secretary, and Chris Devaney as Treasurer did an excellentjob in elicit- ing the cooperation and support of our class during the hectic moments before graduation. ONE MORE NIGHT Our dance finale, the Senior Hop, took place the evening of March 30. As we entered the beautifully decora ted Town Hall, we couldn ' t help but feel a pang of sadness in realizing that this was our last dance formal. In spite of its bittersweetness, we made the most of the evening. The music of WAAF disc-jockey Jeff Berlin kept us dancing until the final moments. By the end of the evening, Jamie Moran had been crowned Queen, and Tena Bashaw, Pamela Les, Amy O Loughlin, Kimberly Thomas, Tracey Trongone, and Laurie-Ann Welch were chosen as members of the Court. As the magic of the evening faded into dawn, we gathered up our memories of “One More Night” and put them with all the rest — in our hearts. On Sunday, June 2, 1985, the curtain opened on our Senior Week with the traditional Bacca- laureate Service. Donned, for the first time, in our caps and gowns, we marched into the Mitchell Memorial Auditorium to receive the blessings of former C.H.S. student, Reverend Joseph Pianowski of Our Lady of Czestochowa Church, Worcester, MA. At the conclusion of the service we sang our class song, “Goodbye Doesn’t Mean Forever,’ ' and marched out, looking forward to the many ex- citing activities of our final week together as a class. THE BEGINNING OF THE END ON TOUR Our Senior Week festivities began on June 4, 1985, when the Cast of 1985 went mi tour” to the Frank Davis Resort in Moodus, Connecticut. The day was filled with exciting activities including swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, and track and field events, which were culminated with a tug-of-war among visiting schools. The day was over before we knew it. We realized our “stay on Broadway” was near- ing a close, but we looked forward to the tun-filled events of our final week together. CAST PARTY On June 6, 1985, our Class Banquet was held at the White Cliffs in Northboro. We realized that this was our last cast party together and that our time upon the stage of Clinton High was near- ing an end. He made the most of those few precious hours, dining and dancing to the music of Glass Leaf. It was a night to remember and cherish forever.

Although rain forced our Central Park ceremonies into the Town Hall, our spirits could not be dampened. After listening to the inspirational messages of Class President Michael Bonin, Valedictorian Diane Letourneau, Salutatorian Dawn Grebner, Jeanne Duggan, and Eileen Gibbons, we proudly marched across the stage and received our diplomas, realizing that our time together had ended. We leave Dehind a stage littered with the debris of four years of youth: of laughter and tears; of happiness and pain; of fun times and labor; of friendship and love. As we stand together for the final ovation and hear the thundering applause of the crowd, we realize that each individual character has grown and matured; for having performed for the audience, we have strengthened ourselves. Now, as the stage lights dim and the curtain slides slowly shut, we bid farewell to those who have become like family. We wish each other luck as we set off to star on a larger stage in a greater produc- tion: Life. Good luck, 85!! Diane Letourneau — Don’t sit back and let life pass you by. Grab hold of life and really live.” Dawn Grebner — “If you want your dreams to become a reality you must strive for them and not cease to battle against any opposing odds ’ [eanne Duggan — Don’t be afraid of the future. Don ' t regret the fact that we ire going away. Instead, look upon it as an adventure.” Eileen Gibbons — “Whatever crossroads in life we choose, we must always apply the values that have been passed on to us and the skills that we have thus far acquired.” 47 Photos courtesy of the Daily Item — Walt Doyle JS Jfkl If ACADEMY - z.z x Damien P.

The International Club, under the direction of Edward Philbin, had its final showing this year. Af- ter much thought, it was decided to cancel any future activities. Our officers were: Tracey Tron- gone, president; Diane Letour- neau, vice-president; and Walter O ' Conner, treasurer. There were three outings this year. In December, we went Christ- mas caroling. In March, we traveled to Brandeis University to see the play “Tartuffe.” In May, we went to Worcester to dine at a Mexican restaurant and then to the opera to see “Daughter of the Reg- iment.” Although we are sad to see the demise of the International Club, the good times we had will live on in our memories. 68 SPANISH CLUB Back to front (1 to r): H.

Loverro, Advisor: Mrs. Willett. 1 he Office Education Association (O.E.A.), directed by Mrs. Joan Willett, had a very busy year, participating in many different activities, including competing in various competitions. The year began with the election of officers — Jody Loverro, president; Nancy McEvilly, vice-president; Jane Lynch, treasurer; Jamie Moran, secretary ' ; and Ann Murphy, historian. The O.E.A. took part in several competitive testings. The students did extremely well — seven of them placed in the top ten finishers in a state- wide competition, and Annette Vicente qualified for the National Com- petition. We wish the O.E.A. luck in its future pursuits. The Spanish Club, under the direction of Mrs. Anne Fallon, spent the year studying the aspects of a foreign culture. Tne officers for the year were Kimberly Thomas, president; Jane Lynch, vice-president; and Beverly Cruz, treasurer. During the Christmas holidays, the Spanish Clubjoined the Inter- national Club for the singing of Spanish, French, and English ! Christmas carols for the residents of local rest homes. The Spanish Club also spent a day in Boston in order to attend a production of “Don Quixote,” and then shopping at Quincy Market. We hope the future of the Spanish Club will be as memorable as this year has been. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY % k i .WUWl After a year of volunteer service, the senior members of the National Honor Society gathered in the Mitchell Memorial Auditorium on May 7, 1985 for the induction of the junior class candidates and senior Jodi Loverro. The seniors directed the program and presented a gift to the school: the inscription of “Mitchell Memorial Auditorium” over both doors of the auditorium. We, the senior members, have fulfilled our services as Honor Society members, and we pass the torch along to the juniors with wishes for the best of luck. Back to Front (1 to r): S. Delorey, M.

On the football scene, the players displayed out- standing effort and determination under the direction of Head Coach Archie Cataldi and Assistant Coaches Robert Shilalie and Wil- liam Bazydlo. Although the team seemed, at times, to ne playing “Against All Odds” and finished the season with a record of 1 -9, the Gaels gave their all and refused to quit, and for that, they — and we — can be proud.

Spurred Dy the supurb coaching of Geri Novia and the spirit of tri- captains Jane Lynch, Nancy Russell, and Kim Thomas (not to mention long, gruel- ing hours on the practice field), the Lady Gaels showed the competition that Clinton was not a team to be taken lightly. Although they lost some very close games, the girls can hold their heads nigh, knowing they always gave it their best shot.

The Lady Gaels perfected their teamwork early in the season and displayed fine- tuned setting and spiking skills throughout their Midland League battles. The players deserve great credit for a job well done. Tracey Trongone Diane Duchnowski Jodi Loverro Paula Bendel Diane Letourneau X 1, KT( lUTQfJ w‘ 1 t I i itiwTon, v ns A 0 The boys basketball team had an extremely successful season this year, finishing with a re- cord of 14-6. Under the leadership of Head Coach Gerry Folev and Co-Captains Todd Bailey and Tim Coyne, the Gaels’ hard work and talent merged together to form one of the best teams in the Midland League. There were many high- lights during the season, including Tim Coyne breaking the school scoring record, Being invited S P into an art, showing everyone that they knew how to win, and that they could do it with style. A: 84 MAGNUM FORCE John Frisch Joe Conroy Tim Coyne (capt.) Todd Bailey (capt.) LEADER OF THE PACK Throughout the season, Co-Captain Tim Coyne was a relentless force which drove the Gaels on to excellence — and their opponents to defeat. On January 26, 1985, before a chant- ing ftill-house crowd, Coyne surpassed the one thousand point barrier against the Hudson Hawks. Before the excitement of this accom- plishment had died down, Coyne again put himself in the spotlight. On January 31, 1985, playing against the Algonquin Tomahawks, he shattered the much- respected 1 ,060-point record of the late John Murphy, wnich was held since the 1971 basketball season. By the final buzzer of the Gaels’ last contest against the Millbury Woolies in a fierce District battle, Coyne had scored a total of 1,230 points. Our congratula- tions, Tim — Great job! 86 TRUE GRIT Although their 1-13 record I may not be a cause for celebra- tion, the Lady Gaels displayed a zest and vigor for the sport which earned them the admira- tion of all who witnessed their endeavors. Coach Beverly Menegus and ' Tri-Captainsjoai Loverro, Nan- cy Russell and Eileen Gibbons kept team spirit running high and spectators could never say that the Gaels lacked determina- tion and courage. Even when they were behind by an insur- mountable margin, the Gaels pursued every basket as though it was the game-deciding play. Congratulations are extended to the Lady Gaels on four suc- cessful years of representing f, C.H.S. — if not in record, in I pride. Jodi Loverro (capt.) Nancy Russell (capt.) THE NATURALS Under the direction of Coach Bernie Gaughan, the Clinton High baseball team performed to its utmost ability, resulting in a brilliant season record of 14-4. Co— Captains Tim Coyne and Joe Pasquale led the Gaels through one of their most successful seasons in years, earning a position in the Dis- trict playoffs. Although defeated early in the Districts bv the Oxford Pirates, the Gaels displayed the championship attitude characteristic of all Clinton teams, and are to be commended. Tim Coyne (capt.) Brian Casson 90 Joe Pasquale (capt.) SWING SHIFT The Clinton High softball team played a competitive season this year, sporting a final record of 8-8. Coached by Caesar DiT ullio, the Lady Gaels made their excellent sportsmanship and school pride known to spectators and oppo- nents alike, and we con- g r a t u 1 a t e them on another fine season of representing Clinton High.

After sporting a 9-2-1 record, the Gaels were off to the Midland League Golf Championship Tour- nament, this time challeng- ing the Marlboro High Panthers. At the conclu- sion of the battle, the Panthers were left writhing in the dust as the Gaels proudly took home their third consecutive champi- onship, bringing their overall season record to 14- 2 - 1 . We now take this oppor- tunity to congratulate a team which has been truly “up to par”. Great job, guys! Stan Marcinczyk Chris Innamorati Larry Gilman FOOTLOOSE John Frisch 1 . ... ■ ' w { ’ Donny Perla Although their 0-9- 1 record seems indicative of an unsuccessful season, the members of the C.H.S. track team came out on top in personal drive, effort, and perseverance. Coaches Archie Cataldi, Russell Bowser, and Noreen McLaughlin witnessed an enthusiastic display of team spirit even when victory seemed against all odds. A one-man triumph became a team celebration as Co-Captain Jim Janda set a new school record in the mile run with a time of 4:37:9, five seconds off the previous record. Congratulations are extended to Jim for his achievement — way to go! Tom Pierce Dave Brovvchuk Jeff Taylor (capt.) Kwang Kim Brian Newton Dave Freel Jim Janda (capt.) 95 Time changes everything. Suddenly, these carefree and fun-filled days have come To a screeching halt. Yesterday is only a memory. Tomorrow is only a dream. Recall the deep burning of a disappointment, The sadness of a loss, An anger once festered, Or an embarrassment once endured. They are all a piece of what has made you who you are. Can you feel the nervous twinge gnaw ing at your stomach? Can you hear your heart crying from the mysterious Pain of change? It is here. We have hoped and patiently waited. Graduation Dav has arrived. Our chance for togetherness had dwindled away To nothingness. We have walked down the dimly lit hallways ot CHS For the last time; the doors have all been bolted shut. And I am afraid - happy — sad — excited — eager. And for some reason, 1 feel all alone. As you sit herp, surrounded by these people The ones who have become the very essence of Your life — your foundation — your support, Does your mind swim with the images Of vour high school years? Search. Reach back to the thoughts and experiences of the past. Remember the anxious anticipation of your freshman year The tedious boredom of your sophomore year The thrills of your junior year — And the almost welcome confusion of your senior year. V Hear the voices of your friends and teachers. Become again the student. Become again the Friend. Become again the sister or brother, daughter or son. Return, if only for this transitory moment. To the shadows of yesterday. Grab hold of them, and keep them safe from destruction. Tuck these thoughts away, even if in the deepest corner Of your mind, And never lose them. They are your treasure — and they are forever. Try. Can you sit in the classes that you once sat in. Can you hear the clock counting away the long minutes? Listen to the lessons that you once listened to? gg ggg Rejoice again in the victories that you once achieved. Can you detect the echo of the school songs that you once sang? Taste the salt of the sweat that you once shed? Hear the fading laughter that you once shared, Or a cheer that you once yelled? Think. Think of your classmates that are donning the caps and gowns, That are so much a part of your memories — Your dreams — Your future — Your past. Think of the relationships that have become so much A part Of you. They have helped tirelessly along the treacherous road Of adolescence. And so we are full of gratitude and thanks. Once upon a time, we were just children, Innocent and free from the harsh realities Of the world. We were happy in our ignorance. Somehow, this same time seeped threateningly into our shelter, And forced us to grow and to learn. It was not an easy task, for we have suffered many Hardships. m M W ' Pi a vf We have struggled with ourselves, trying to find our Self-fulfillment. We have argued with others, And cried a river of tears. We looked for guidance — kindness — a dvice understanding And love. All were given readily. I want so badly to remember it all, But even now the visions are becoming hazy. I want to remember all of the crazy times we’ve had The wild things we’ve done, The parties we’ve thrown. Dances we’ve danced. Trips we’ve taken, The surprises we’ve arranged, The weekends we’ve survived. Summers we’ve shared. Laughter that we’ve bellowed, The sports that we’ve loved, The teachers we’ve endured. Projects we’ve undertaken, Games that we’ve played. 96 The places that we’ve visited. The people that we’ve met. The pride that we’ve felt, And all of the yesterdays we’ve had! Everything! I want to know it all again. Glance, only for this brief second, at the pictures That have been taken; the letters that have been written. Open your yearbook; travel back to the very beginning. You are again the newcomer in the crowd, The lonely, lost freshman searching for the “student lounge.” You, wandering in a daze. How about the colorful autumn afternoons, when you strained Every muscle in your body. Exhausted every ounce of energy, Dreamed of countless victories. Your head drowned in a surge of pride. You would wear that uniform, Strive for the “Green and Gold”, And play as if your life depended on it. Listen. Listen to the happy giggles of Your friends — Your teammates. Together on the field, Working as one. Driving the ball, throwing a pass. You were a unit — took the good with the bad. Invincible — strong — unbeatable. 7pZj| Remember exams. You were up the entire night. Trying to prove to yourself that you were capable Of success. Coffee — caffeine. £, m m Stay awake! Shakespeare — Milton — Donne — Keats — And all the rest. E = MC 2 F = KS. What a headache — forget the challenge! No, you had to know it all! emember your first kiss, ntle — soft — awkward — wonderful. u were the one who fell madly in love. -M-iie two of you were inseparable, Always together — always laughing — always having fun. k of the movies that you saw on Friday nights. The football games that you screamed at on Saturday afternoons. Lazily shuffling through the leaves on a Sunday morning. Feel the blood rush through your veins. Stand on your feet. Wave your hands wildly in the air. Remember the unity of the crowd as the team moved On to victory. Or defeat. Hear the music that fills you with excitement And carries you back to yesterday. Listen to the band as it marches in to the “Green and Gold.” Can you remember the humid, sticky Summer evenings at the baseball park? Can you recall the party when you Drank your first beer? Your laughter became louder, Words flowed easier, Head spun lightly. And you felt a little guilty. Remember. Return. Search. Reflect. Think of all the things that you’ve learned. Say all the things that you have longed to say — The chance may be taken away. If in need, turn to the friendships that have Always supported you. The pictures may fade, yet the feelings remain vivid. Be yourself, but be your best self. Take a risk, meet the challenge. Be spontaneous. Be an individual. Make decisions and then forget them. Do we ever reach the point of absolute certainty? Suddenly, almost as quickly as this time has arrived. It has gone. The chairs are all empty, The words have all been said. A tear has welled in my eye, And I am afraid. Time changes everything.
