Nightmares For every dream-come-true, there seems to come a nightmare. Tests and quizzes all seem to descend upon us one deadly day. Some of us are faced with dreaded oral speeches which make us freeze in fright like statues of stone. As we approach the front of the room and turn around to face the class, our hearts pound, we feel the butterflies flit in our stomach, our tongues twist, and our palms sweat. And, although opens serve as a relief to those nightmares, at times, they are equally disastrous. Sometimes we leave our keys in our locked car at Mc- Donald's, or simply lose track of time on the walk back from Bella's and are late to our next period class. ... So full of ugly sights, of ghastly A few of us sit and sulk in the cafe- teria because of our failure on the driv- er’s test. Those of us who are gym- nasts try to maintain our poise if we fall from the balance beam during impor- tant meets. And, as June approaches, we despair over not having a date for the prom. Even some weekends end in night- mares. An open house party can be- come a catastrophe when parents come home slightly earlier than ex- pected. It doesn’t take us long to realize that nightmares are impossible to escape. Towers of blocks surround Joe Boschi as he studies for his class. New math concepts frequently puzzle students. Mrs. Rosalie Triozzi helps Barbara Litz with her problems.

Dreams of joy School can be a chore five days a week, seven hours a day. But, it’s not all bad. Things often do come out the way we hope they will. The football team had its dream — and revenge — come true when it beat Brick. Juniors and seniors are elated when they finally get that coveted driver’s license. We feel even greater when we put a parking permit on our car window and drive to school. We're happy when we . . . get tickets Saddle your dreams afore you ride » „ M em. to a Springsteen concert . . . receive a standing ovation in a play . . . make drill team . . . meet the first and last year- book deadlines . . . order our school rings . . . spend the first warm day of spring at the shore . . . get our first pay check . . . share a special moment with a special person. Homework goes faster when done in groups. Mark Franke and Ed Schroth found calculus wasn’t so band when they put their heads to- gether. Marie Donzella, Scott Bode and Hadley Roth gave encouragement from the sidelines. Classes aren't always dull, as Mario Masciulli demonstrates. 16 THEME
