Falmouth High School - Clipper Compact Yearbook (Falmouth, MA)

We would like to dedicate our yearbook to a special person who has helped the class of 1987 to bond together in common goals, to find success and to share friend- ship. This dedication is to Mrs. Terri Medeiros, our loyal adviser. We have been touched by her guidance and concern in all of our endeavors and by the time and effort she has invested in our class. Four years ago we came to the high school, unsure in our new environment. At the same time, Mrs. Medeiros experienced a similar transition in her first year teaching at the high school. She adopted our class and we grew close through our situation. in this relationship with Mrs. Medeiros we have found her to possess many admirable qualities such as her good nature and hu- mor. Who could forget when she dressed up as an oversized strawberry for the freshmen class show? Mrs. Medeiros went beyond the title of adviser to become something more important to us; whenever we lacked spirit she was there to encourage us and to in- spire us with her own enthusiasm, or to smile with us or to just listen. And of course she was always around to give us the latest . . . ' news ' . However we know Mrs. Medeiros and whatever we remember about her, one constant will be her warm feelings toward the class of 1987 — and ours toward her. As we leave FHS behind we will hold these days and remember these times we have spent together with Mrs. Medeiros, our adviser, our foster mother and special friend. Thank you. Love , the class of 1987 Mrs. Terri Arm Mediros 18

Suddenly the whole sys- tem feels poisoned by a world in which millions of one ' s countrymen eagerly dream themselves to death. Drug and alcohol abuse, it ' s ef- fects and awareness has certainly been a major issue of our lives this senior year. Hopefully, every mem- ber of the Class of 1987 will survive, be successful and twenty years from now thumb through this year- book and remember the way it was.- Compiled From The Student Intelligencer and from Time i tacks by foreign powers, illegal im- Magazine. migration, poverty, violence, street crime, the lassitude of youth, unem- ployment, materialism, irresponsibil- ity- the work place? If that ' s the case, then drugs may be confused with any of these enemies. The war that is being called for is a civil war, to be fought in the school yard or kitchen, in which the casulties may range from a thug in Miami to the dearest of civil liberties; a wild war in 17
