Rockin’ and rollin’ at May jam! On May 8, 1981, during a Friday afternoon, the junior and senior high school students traversed to the football field to begin an event which had been absent since 3 years previous. It was the 1981 May Day, a celebration marked by its individuality and an- nual events. Entertainment consisted of a 5 piece band, Buz- zard Mountain, from Oneonta which recreated the sounds of Bruce Springsteen, Charlie Daniels and Lynryd Skynryd. A pie throwing contest was raffled off by the Sophomores in which the targets were the smiling faces of Mr. Hamlin, Mr. Milner and Mr. Mullen. The Junior class sold chocolate-mint ice cream cones, while other classes dealt in balloons, cotton candy and refreshments. In the cafeteria the annual sale of unused yearbook pictures took place. At the softball diamond, teams of students battled out a fun-filled and exciting game. In addition there was frisbee, dancing and many contests which occu- pied the hours until the end of 8th period. After the band had played two encores, the tired but happy student body gathered at the auditorium for atten- dance to be taken before their departure. Practice makes perfect. Finally the chance to get him back! Share and share alike. May Jam —7

Oh nooo! it's Mr. Pat. Yes we were rollin’ The end of the 1981 regents week gave birth to one of the biggest gala events of the season. The Junior Class Party, held on June 17, 1981, was an afternoon and evening event. It took place at a small lake front cottage on Lake Moraine which sported a sailboat, rowboat, canoes and a party barge. Many students from surrounding schools and our own underclassmen came to enjoy fun in the sun and water. In the afternoon students made use of inner tubes, boats and frisbees, but toward dusk when the majority of guests arrived, the intense festivities began. Beverages and foods such as barbecued hamburgers and chocolate ice cream cones were passed around as the tunes of the Grateful Dead drifted forth from the stereo. In a circular area surrounded by cars, the attendants of the party danced, conversed, and laughed the evening hours away to the end. When it was time to go, all agreed that it had been a memorable time, and the Juniors began planning how to make their Senior party an even greater success. They call him Flipper . . . 8—Class Party
