ADMINISTRATION To the Members of the Class of 1989: I appreciate being given the oppor- tunity by the editorial staff of “Tiger” to share a few, thoughts with you as you leave Ipswich High School. I feel an affinity with your class in that we both came to Ipswich High School in the Fall of 1985. Both of us lacked the experience that formed the school background of the sopho- mores and upperclassmen who “knew” our school in 1985. Together we went through many changes that caused more consternation among them than among us freshmen. Throughout your four years here I have watched you grow intellectual- ly, academically, physically and so- cially. Although you are a diverse class, in many ways you are a class together. I have admired the way you Vice Principal’s Message To the Class of 1989: As you and I leave these “hallowed halls” together, I am sure we share feelings of joy and sadness, relief and excitement, but above all, concern as to what the future holds for us. You face the rigors of college or the work- ing world, which are bound to be much more difficult and demanding than anything you have experienced to date. I look back on the many pleasures I have experienced here at Ipswich High, but also ahead to what I hope to be many years of a greater variety of pleasurable experiences. As we go our separate ways, I wish for all of us health and happiness, full and productive lives, and that once have been able to involve a large number of your classmates in your fund raising and social activities. This feeling of class togetherness will provide many pleasant memories as the years go by and you remember your days at IHS. It is my sincere hope that each of you will be able to feel that Ipswich High School has prepared you well for your adult life and your next ca- reer. Our nation needs citizens like you whose concerns go beyond their own comfort and who are willing to help their compatriots work to make our society one of racial and ethnic harmony, prosperity and justice for all. God bless you in all your endeavors. Stephen M. Fortado Principal in a while we stop to smell the roses. Good bye and good luck. Charles P. McKenzie Assistant Principal 8

ENGLISH The English Department Wandering the hallowed halls of Ipswich High School for the last time, the scarcely contained echo of my heels, as they click down the corri- dor, mirrors the irrepressible excite- ment bubbling inside me. I become a transparent eye-ball; for one transient moment I am part and parcel of the English Department. The times that tried our souls flood my mind on the waves of the ever-changing edicts of the MLA Handbook. Have we really escaped the tenuous grasp of The Lively Art of Writing? Write Me a Ream? Et tu . . . D.E.W.? Wild Bill? Phyllis? Faust? Emerson? Bene- detto? As for me, give me liberty or give me death! My pace uncon- sciously quickens but one last ques- tion plagues me. Is ' this’ an adjective or a pronoun? An involuntary shud- der wracks me as I wonder if a col- lege version of Warriner’s has been erected to haunt us . . . Kathy Dougan William Laakso, Dept.
