P. Gibson M.J. Hanlon J. Rasicot M. Prairie Does anybody really know what a class officer has to do? You really don ' t unless you are an officer yourself. First of all, if the kids feel they can do a good job and devote their time to their class, then they run for the certain office. The next stop is to be elected and to be elected, your classmates have to listen to a campaign speech that you have written. Many of the students have complaints about the election because they think it is just a big popularity contest. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but no matter who is elected, the officers usually do the best they can. The four who have repre¬ sented the class of ' 76 have really stuck to all of their campaign promises and have accomplished more than most other officers. They have had more activities and more fund raising benefits than any pre¬ vious group. The class officers have become well-known for the the great work they have done. They all know that Mark Prairie is the President, Jim Rasicot is Vice President, Mary Jane Hanlon is the Treas¬ urer, and Pam Gibson is the secretary; and The Great Advisor , Mr. Fiske, have all The class officers have really put together good changes for the class, includ¬ ing the dances, which they made a lot better by having pizza and other good food we could buy; and best of all, they had really good groups. They have also set up a beach trip which no other class has ever had. Jim Rasicot said, A very good percentage turns out and we all have a good time with¬ out any trouble. All of the officers say that a large percentage of seniors have participated in the class activities, and without partici¬ pation, they would not have been as much fun. Much of the success is due to using so many ideas from so many people. Maybe the class is different, but the class is the best for sure. The seniors hope that all the other class officers have been influenced by us and that they turn out as well as the class of ' 76. Patty Dailey, who is the Junior class president, said, I wish more of the students in our class would participate as opposed to complaining. The Sophomore and Fresh¬ men classes are underway; P. Dailey K. Sullivan L. Mucciarone done a good job to keep the class happy. They have noticed the unique characteristics of the class which are outstand¬ ing and have taken suggestions from everybody. On being a class officer, Mary Jane Hanlon says, I like to work and help people, and being an officer gives me a chance to do both. L. Guiliano N. Adamson B. Bennett J. Wojciechowski and as Liz Guiliano remarked, We have a good class and good class participation, and as we progress, we can see ourselves getting better and better. Sharon Adamson said, I think in the coming years, the kids will participate more than they do now. K. Neelon K. Begin T. Wroblika S. Adamson
