I There ' s alot of History to Our Freshmen! They are often used as scapegoats, punching bags, and are the victims of unkind remarks. Through time there have been many who have become great leaders from humble beginnings. Such is the case of the Class of 1980, the Class With Class . To earn a nickname like that, there were long hours of work, planning, and pride displayed. As Freshmen, we were entering a new stage in life at the lowest stage in school. There were more responsibilities, mounting pressures, and new challenges to take on, for it was time to grow up. Our first objective was to elect class officers and then to start planning some fund raisers. In late September, our first idea for raising money was introduced: the class dues card. If your dues were paid up, you could use the card to get into a class function for half-price. This had to be our worst idea but happened to be our first. In October 1976, we scheduled our first dance which turned out great! It seemed as though the whole school showed up to hear some mellow music, boogie all night, or rap with their friends. We definitely made some good money on that dance. In December, we entered the hall decorating contest sponsored by the school. Because of our lavish decorations near the language labs, we came in fourth place with a dazzling display of yuletide festivities. Our first semester of supervised study was spent in the cold, barren Lecture Hall, the place with no backs on the seats. Supervised study is a tactic used until freshmen establish themselves with the high school and make their transition from the barbaricness of Jr. High. Our officers talked to Mr. Evans about the possibility of dropping it, if our class, as a whole, did well academically during the first semester, and by some miracle we did! Within a week, we were enjoying the privilege of either library or cafeteria study, in which we were able to groove to the jukebox. The month of April brought us our first semi- formal function as a class. It was our spring banquet in the cafeteria and the variational group that played was the fabulous Pyramid Energy. All of the men of ' 80 were dressed to kill with their 3-piece suits and the girls were looking good in everything they were wearing. Pyramid Energy and the Italian food, kept us entertained and the holiday atmosphere was festive. We entered our last month as Freshmen with big plans. Our main objective was to enter the annual flea market and to make enough money to go on a class trip. There was a lot of junk to be sold at the flea market, which was held in the field house. However, with our great class participation, we raised enough money for our first class trip to Rocky Point in Warwick, Rl, where a fine time was had by all. Now the anticipation of becoming sophomores was mounting. Summer finally came and our second year in high school was rapidly approaching. Sophomore year. September 1977 sparked the beginning of our next year in high school, although the teacher ' s strike, which lasted two weeks, hit us off to a slow start. The Silly Sophomores, as the cheerleaders proclaimed, were carefree and high spirited, leading us to claim first spirit award at the September Pep Rally. In October, we held a very successful raffle for an AM FM clock radio, who ' s profits set the foundation for our Bowling Party in November. The Class of ' 80 rocked the whole Gaynor Bowling Lanes in Millis that night, and we continued to show our high spirit at our November dance in honor of the arrival of the French Students. Chimes and bells set the mood for the winter season, and for the Sophomore ' s Christmas Party. Our casual apparel, high spirited vitality, and Santa Claus made the evening a night to remember. We gained the title The Class With Class in April, the month in which we finally received our class rings. Now we were official members of Franklin High, and we wore them with pride to prove it. On April 25th, we had our Spring Banquet at the Elks, where we tripped the light - fantastic, munched out on an impeccable chicken dinner, and grooved to the music of
