619455 ffl 27016 If 79 O-7985 Our first look at junior high life was in September of 1979. We all dreaded Mr. Morabito and his 15 page papers but somehow we struggled through with a little help from our less demanding teachers. Leading us in these trying times were Bob Johnson as president, Linda Dixson as vice president, Robin Sheridan as secretary, and B.J. Linnett as treasurer. With the promise of control of the junior high, we entered the eighth grade. Linda Dixson was our president, Bob Johnson our vice president, Elaine Brooks our treasurer, and Mike Traver our secretary. In ninth grade, our class officers, president, Liz Davis, vice president, Linda Dixson, secretary, Mickki Davis, treasurer, Susan Corey, and our class advisors, Mr. Roods and Mr. Wells, urged us to concentrate on our magazine drive. With Mr. Porter's assistance, we conducted the largest drive ever at GCS. Tenth grade greeted us with tales of Punxsutawney and Mr. Holmes' rendition of Julius Caesar . Our president was Shawn Stewart, vice president was Linda Dixson, secretary was Mickki Davis, and treasurer was Susan Corey. They worked with class advisors, Mr. Roods and Mr. Wells, to help us make the momentous decision of which class rings to order. Our first adult event was The Ring Banquet in our junior year. We held it at Marty's with Mr. Holmes as our guest speaker. President Shawn Stewart, vice president Kathy Murphy, secretary Mickki Davis, and treasurer Susan Corey organized a Jr.-Sr. Alumni Semi-formal during Christmas vacation. Then our thoughts quickly turned to the prom. After much discussion, we chose Time For Me To Fly as the theme. We elected Mike Traver and Susan Corey as our King and Queen. Our attendants were Steve Peluso and Karen Vurraro, Andy Spigner and Kathy Murphy, and Shawn Stewart and Diana Cristaldi. After the prom we had dinner at Mangino's and breakfast at Hebert's. Shawn Stewart led us into our senior year with Sandy Rymph as vice president, Mike Traver as secretary, and Susan Corey as treasurer. Our first outing as seniors was the class picnic on October 3, at the Salem Fish and Game Club. As we look back on these past few years, we feel regret because we are leaving so much behind us, and hope because there is so much more for us to find.

qi .5 5 , sl, .1 There is one basic law that governs your future. Your understanding of that one law will have a direct effect on how far and how fast you advance, and what successes you will enjoy. This law states that you will be rewarded in fair proportion to the service you give. Your pay, promotions, and financial security will be related to the service you provide. All attempts to sidestep this law will result in failure. By not working up to your potential, being late, being careless in your work, you only cheat yourself. Our worst enemy is the mistaken belief that we can receive more than we earn. lt's your future: Make The Most Of It! If you play fair with this law and do the best you can, you will be rewarded with the successes you seek. Just getting by isn't enough. James E. Briglin Superintendent 55624 65 O Ziff SSJWOK Your graduation from Greenwich Central is a special occasion for you and your family. Only slightly over 75016 of the youngsters in our county stick to the task until it is completed. I am very pleased you have done so. Try not to remember just this yearbook and this. Your kindergarten through 12th grade process was designed to help you grow and develop into a young adult. If you have taken part in the clubs, events and sports teams, then you have developed friendships that will last a lifetime. My best for your health and happiness. John E. Fitzgerald High School Principal

'QYY-lv 14171- Jlflbwfl 0161! 09 ISWZEJVZL4 IC 05,4 ode to a friend as the night descends brushing the earth with the shadows of twilight memories stir we flounder as captives in echoes of time in the ringing of laughter long past but the sharpness of loss lights a flame in our hearts and we ache at the emptiness cast we think, as we smile, of the way things should be the things you should be here to share we ache for your absence, for the part of us gone- for your peace, and the way that you care now life is devoid of your easy, light humor of your innocent hope and your fun we wish you were back here to lighten our hearts to race in the ultimate run we gaze to the stars, to the unspoken secret the single untarnished belief we try to accept that you're still alive somewhere angry at us for our grief we're with you now, Brenda, you're in all our thoughts for the friendship you gave us so free we think of you - smiling and weeping at once of all that is gone that should be as the day rises gently caressing the earth with soft pastels , . . you live on timeless within immortal memories. kathy murphy
