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
