The History of the Wise Weighty Class of ' 80 The Class of ' 80 . . . there ' s pride in every syllable . . . there ' s pride in every heart. There ' s a little success ... as we look back . . . as we remember. It was September. 7976, A freshman class, the very special class of ' 80, became a part of Holy Spirit High School under its level moderator, Ms. Judith C. Leitner. It was a bright, sunny day - remember? - a perfect one to start our four year march to a goal - graduation. Remember how timid and bewildered we were that first day? We would have died rather than submit to the almighty seniors. Actually, we had a right to be proud - the swimming pool ticket gag was so old that few fell for the line. It was confusing too - trying to find the right room. Of course, the upperclassmen were of little help! How many of us walked into class late with the excuse, I got lost or sat through ten minutes of one class before realizing we should have been in another. ' Remember those crazy t-shirts that blazened our class slogan. We had to wear them to the pep rallies and had to sit on the gym floor. We can hear them now, On the floor. Freshmen! On the floor. ' Oh, and the great football games. Remember how proud we were of our president, Vanessa Reale and our vice-president, Jerome Zenga. They led our faith community through Its first year finding new friends, each other and the love of God. Everyone was saddened by the death of our beloved classmate, Barry Fine, who was loved by all who knew him. His death left an empty spot in our hearts which no one would ever be able to fill. Several freshman activities went on that year. We made the best of it those we had. The play was Fiddler on the Roof whose cast was just terrific. Soon it was June and final exams were here. It was a little easier since we had mid-terms to start us off. September! Under the leadership of Mrs. Barrett, the Class of ' 80 became sophisticated sophomores (or so we thought), laughing at the puzzled freshmen. To lead us through the turbulent year, we chose Bob McDevitt as Vice-President and Michael Blee as President. This year, as the former year, had several class activities. Sports were becoming even more fun and a way of earning a letter. Many sophomores were able to work their way up to varsity sports. If not football, it was crew. Everyone who saw It will remember the cast and chorus of My Fair Lady . Fabulous is the word for their performance. April 14, 1977 was the date of our dinner dance, Day Break . The decorations were nice and all the work was done by members of our own class. Soon, It was June and exams! Our Sophomore year was over. Friends made over the past year were getting together over the summer vacation. Junior year rolled in with the guidance of our President, Seth Wenig and Vice-President, Judy Miller under the faculty leadership of Mr. Larry DiGiovarmi. This was a year of excitement. We had more activities. We started off with our Junior car wash . It was great! Most of us washed each other more than the cars. So many of us became very close fnends and realized the importance of our faith community. The climax of the year was the Junior Ring Ceremony . An event which made us all upperclassmen. Who can forget the traditional turning of the rings afterwards in the cafeteria? We celebrated the challenge of maturity and the joy of friendship. A few days after came the Junior sub sale . Having to be up at 5:00 am and at school by 6:00 am was a miracle in itself. We must have made oi ' er three thousand subs that day - loving eiery minute of It! Our faith community was knit more closely than ever. The play was Oklahoma : the cast was excellent. They enjoyed performing to an enthusiastic audience. It arrived ' Our Junior Prom was a beautiful remembrance for all who attended. Everyone had a great time dancing to the music of Idol Passion . Exams came and passed and we knew the year ended. The Class of ' 80 became Seniors. ' !! The fall of ' 79 welcomed the Class of ' 80 back with more serious thoughts on our minds - our future. There were Guidance Office visits, AP and SAT E.xams and brief trips to the Chapel. To lead us during this crucial year, we chose Chns Bryz-Gomia as President and Alfred Sacco as Vice-President with Mr. Fran Bennett as our faculty advisor. We sold poiruettias, had a Halloween Party and a Christmas Dance to help finance our Prom and Senior tnp. Our Senior tnp - January 21 to 24 - four days to remember for all who went. Lenox, Massachusettes was the place and fun was the time. The play was Carousel . The huge cast enjoyed performing before the thoroughly entertained audience. The time really began to fly. Soon our exams were taken. Then came the joy of realizing that we were going to graduate - we made it at last. Prom time again - bigger and better than ever. There was just a little sadness as we realized that this was our last prom in high school. Then, it came at last - the very pinnacle of our four years in high school - graduation! In our caps and gouns, with heads held high and eyes steady, we marched solemnly down the aisle oj Convention Hall. It was here we received our diplomas with trembling hands. When we reached up to turn the tassels, did we remember our past high school years - the years oj our faith community - the Class of ' 80. Do you remember? i
