Bon Appetit! The Senior Banquet! Only one of the big events tak- ing place in Senior Week. This year ' s Banquet promised to be a truly exciting event. Held at Chez Joseph in Agawam on May 30, the festivities began at 6:30. First, the Class of ' 85 enjoyed an elegant dinner, choosing between several main courses. After the meal, the five class officers bid their good-byes to their classmates. Vice Principal Dennis Pike, Superintendent Dr. Robert McKanna, and the class advisors Mrs. Mary Ann Sedran and Mr. Vito Riccio also gave speeches. The class then presented Mr. Riccio with a live pig for his farm. The three emcees Randy Hobbs, Rich Skoler, and Karen Crosby proceeded to present the long awaited class awards. Afterwards, Yearbook editors-in-chief Jody Marshall and Suzy Canter announced that the 1985 Masacksic was dedicated to Mr. Robert D ' Agos- tino and then the yearbooks were handed out. As the seniors looked at pictures in the book, they also watched the slide show which was accompanied by the Class Party Song Shout! The Banquet ended at 11:00 p.m., but it was on to Roller World in Enfield for more partying until 4:00 a.m. All in all, it was a super evening and one that the Class of ' 85 will remember forever.

THE BEST LHS HAS TO OFFER Thunderous applause from proud parents, teachers, and students greeted Longmeadow High ' s 270 graduates as they entered the gym, led by Junior Marshals Michael Murphy and Sue Rotondo. This was no ordinary assembly or sports event; rather, it served to recognize the best of what L.H.S. has to offer. Looking out into the seemingly endless black and white rows of seniors wearing their caps and gowns, Principal Angleo Teixeira said the 1985 Awards Assembly recog- nizes our commitment to excellence. He added, There is no success without hard work. During the IV2 hour affair, happy students went up one-by-one to collect their respective awards from Mr. Pike and Mr. Lynch, 126 sen- iors and 40 underclassmen were rewarded for outstanding achievements in academics and sports. Coach Robert D ' Agostino and Mrs. Judy Bouley, pre- sented the traditional athletic awards. Coach Dag also honored Marc Vogel for working many, many hours painting the athletic figures on the gym walls, saying with a smile, I had the idea, but he put my idea on the walls. Chinese A.F.S. Exchange Teacher was also honored at the assembly. Teixeira noted, She was a friend, teacher, and great addition to LHS. The band set the tone with music made up of loud, noble trumpets and booming percussion. Ironically, how- ever, its members played Fanfare for the Common Man.
