C lubs suffered most. Few were left with advisors. All but the most traditional were allowed to die quietly. Summer camp for the football team was cancelled. The hockey team was left without a home rink. There were several false starts in the attempt to raise the funds that would support the traditional sports schedule. There were doubts that, first the winter then the spring schedules could be played out. It was a strange year. Knickers were back. Jelly beans were in, peanuts were out. The Rubik s Cube and similar three dimensional puzzles filled the nation ' s toys stores. There seemed to be a headlong rush into forgetting or ignoring problems that appeared beyond our control. Nothing seemed to fit.

STUDENT E verything was a little tougher this year. All areas of school life were hit including student life. However, just because things were tougher doesn ' t mean they didn ' t get done. The juniors had a very successful Christmas tree sale and the seniors ran an equally successful Blood Drive. Many times the outlook seemed bleak. Everyone pulled together and worked all the harder. Although Miss Goldstein, last year ' s advisor to the class of 1982, was not here at MHS teaching, she kept in touch and was there whenever possible to help the class in whatever they did. This also was the case for Mr. McCarthy the advisor to the class of 1983. One of the biggest and most important events for the juniors was jr. Varieties. The juniors had to work hard and pull together because like the line goes, The show must go on. One event that didn ' t take place was the Senior Class Play. The senior class opted not to put on a play and use all the saved time and energy for their prom. A prom, the culmination of the three years at the high school, is the biggest event that a class undertakes. It was difficult without a class advisor but as usual the students of MHS pulled together and made this year ' s prom as good as any other. Although anything we did this year took more time, energy, and help, we did it. We pulled all the loose ends together and made things fit together almost perfectly. Bundled-up students at Malden High ' s annual Thanksgiving ' - g me againk Medford cheer on the players. '
