Class Histor l Freshman year was a year of leaming. Where was Room 1623? . . . When does sixth period begin? . . .' what was my locker combination again? . . . It was a year of learning to change classes every period. learning how to give those dreaded once- a-month book reports, and fighting for your rightful place in the lunch line. We also began to think of ways to make money for the Senior Trip. Food sales, dances, and dues helped us on our way. We learned how to behave??? in study hall and that the study hall was a place to study, not gossip. And we all had to study for those regents we feared. Sophomore year was a year of gaining experienca. We -learned not to fear those book reports: we just stayed home that day. We leamed to write above the lock in small print the combination to the locker. We were upper- classmen to the freshmen so we didn't have to fight for a place in lunch line: we could show our superiority. We still hadn't leamed how to behave in study hall, but we didn't fear the regents anymore. we dreaded them. It was a year of magazine sales, Silas Mamet and World History debates. Junior year was a year of excitement. Junior prom was ahead of us. It was a year of The Scarlet Letter and heated debates between Mrs. Preston and Terry Marcellus. Our prom at the end of the year was . . . well .. . it was Love Is Blue. Our junior year was the English regents, and for all of us who were lucky enough to take it, the Chemistry regents. Our junior year was also a time of tragedy. During this year we lost one of our most beloved class- mates. Andy Cole. It was a shock to all of us who knew him. Our Senior year is a year of preparation. With the senior trip and gradua- tion ahead, all of us look forward to these things anxiously. Our senior year is filled with preparations for the future. It is our year to publish the SPOT- LIGHT, to be measured for caps and gowns.. tohand out senior pictures, to sell stationery and candy, and our year to take the senior trip. And we finally get to exercise that great power known as Senior Power. This class history does not end here. It goes on with us as we graduate and stays with each of us as we face the future separately.
