! . - j m ,M The purpose of extracurricular activity at Longmeadow High School is to provide an opportunity for high school students to experience the pressures, complexities, and rewards of participa- tion in social activities. I chose to be one of your advisors because I believe that experience to be worthwhile educationally. When well done, it accomplishes two major things. First, it fosters an understanding of the importance of socialization and second, it illustrates the necessity of subordinating one ' s own preferences for the group to function effectively and efficiently. In short, it allows high school students a vehicle through which to grow up. The activities of the Class of 1987, the things which you have done, arc more or less ideal when viewed from that perspective. I look forward to our continued acquaintance, indeed friend- ship, in the years to come. You arc an outstanding group of young men and women and you have opportunity and possibility to contend with. I hope that our little time together has been useful and enjoyable. It has been a pleasure and an honor for mc to be one of your advisors. Good luck and Godspeed. P. Martin Conway: Advisor, Class of 1987 JW seniors . S

SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL As your advisor for the past four years, I have been afforded the unique opportunity to witness your growth and success from a very special vantage point. The long list of achievements of the Class of 1987, whether they be academic, fundraisers, or social functions, have always been a point of pride for me. Your spirit of cooperation and commitment to the entire LHS community has been unwaver- ing, as you shared the joys of triumph and the sorrows of personal tragedy with each other, and I laud you for it. Together, as a team, we have travelled full circle. You entered as inexperienced and wondering freshmen with a novice advisor, and leave four years later in a position of leadership. You have developed invaluable skills and also contributed greatly to my professional growth, as I feel that our experiences together have better prepared mc to deal with future classes. For this, I offer my sincerest grati- tude. There arc numerous challenges to be met as you extend beyond the boundaries of LHS, and it is evident to me that you have formed the skills necessary to deal with them. For this reason I have devel- oped a deep respect for you as individuals and as a group, and wish you continued success in all of your future endeavors. Thank you for four great years as your advisor, your teacher, and as your friend. George A. Carellas: Advisor. Class of 19X7 4 scniors
