Leading Pioneers The class of 1985 invested a hundred and fifty dollars into the rock. It took eight gallons of white paint and five gallons of red paint to create that traditional master- piece. Several seniors spent a Sunday afternoon in Septennber painting. Setting up shop, the seniors assembled safety ropes, which later became their only link to life at treacherous moments. As they painted their way down the rock, their goal became more of a challenge as David Cutting, Reggie Achilles, and others demonstrated. Of course, the seniors always mix work with pleasure. Radios blasted and fashion designers let their creativity go wild. They were making red and white hand- prints on old t-shirts, jeans, and sweat- pants in various collages. Just about everyone had someone's autograph on their attire that would become a souvenir. After two coats of paint and five hours later the ROCK was finished. Painters marvelled at their artwork. They auto- graphed it and picked up camp for the long trip down the trail. Leaving with a smile of accomplishment and a story to share, they all joined to become one lead- ing pioneer. Dave Cutting is all tied up in his his work, (below) Reggie, Brian, Tim and Mich try to keep from sl ip- ping on the paint. 15

lolly Kreidler, the Queen, gives the camera a beau- ful smile. Livia Racz keeps in tune. We Are One FHS! FHS! , roared throughout the stands on Homecoming day. Hundreds of red and white balloons floated into the sky to officially commence the football season and the court lit up the school float. With Holly Kreidler as Queen and Steve Femino as King, the football team already was off to a good start. While the court graced the field wearing elegant gowns and three piece suits, the float rolled around the track and the fans cheered on the team coming on the field. Everyone became one as our team defeated St. Peter-Marian, 30-0. Grasping arms, singing Mr. Touchdown, and exchanging smiles, F.H.S. fans were going strong and remained strong throughout the season. Editor's note: Members of the Homecoming Court were: Holly Seretto, Shelly Monette, Heather Himes, Rachel Maillet and Lori Siart; escorted by Juan Torres, Tim Malenfant, Mike Phaneuf, Frank Balaguer and Chris Cucchiara. The Queen was Holly Kreidler and the King was Steve Femino. Running gracefully, Mile Nelson heads up the court for the first rally of the year. 17
