'LVIIUIEIE I3 'WE WEQIBS Looking back on thirteen years of the class of 1986's past brings back many memories. lt's hard to believe that in 1973, many of us were only five years old. Many people in the class can not reach back into their minds to remember that first day we entered the big brick building on Main Street. These next two pages are dedicated to the class of 1986 to help them remember all the times of learning, fun, and sharing. ln the fall of 1973, one hundred ten kinderglalrten students eagerly anticipated their first day of school. alk- ing into school, we looked like we were homesick already. We were going to miss being away from our mothers for a full day. Even though we got to take a nap with blankets we brought from home, the day still seemed long. Our teachers kept us busy with many activities. We did the usual things that kindergarten students do, such as finger- painting, showing, and telling, and playing in the dollhouses. Later in the year, we visited the Shrine Circus, Lollipop Farm, and ended the year with a picnic at Ms. DeMarree's farm. Certain students earned reputations ear- ly in their school career. Scott Roegiers was known as Mr, Clean - he always cleaned up after lunch better than any of us. Roman Brozoski was known as Mr. Nice Guy because he always shared his pets with the class for show and tell. Jim Newby was known as Mr. Tough Guy - he fell backwwards on his chair one day and cut his head. It took Mr. Reynolds quite awhile to convince Jim he needed the nurse's ep. When we returned as first graders, we were welcomed by several new teachers as we changed classes for each subject. This year we leaned how to read. Some members of the class also put on the play Cinderella Mike Withey was the nar- rator, Kathy Weaver was the stepmother, Jean Schermerhorn was the fairy godmother, and Pat Hall was the king. Linda Bigley, Steve Brown and Gary DeLue had fun turning from mice into horses and Matt Seppeler, Jennifer Urbanik and Mark Lee enjoyed dancing at the ball. One of our activities this year was going to the Strasenburgh Planetarium for a special Christmas show. At the end of the year, we had a picnic at Forman Park. Unfortunately, it rained all day, and the boys were more interested in throwing worms at the girls than playing the games like they were supposed to. This year, Tammy Martin was the bigglest teacher briber. She would bring her mom's chocolate chip cookies to the teacher. She couldn't settle for apples liket e rest of us! This year we were joined by Linda Bigley, Jean Schermerhorn, and Dan Howie. Some memories from second grade were Kelly Smith carefully carrying her caterpillar in a coffee can wherever she went. lRemember this Kelly??!!l One day while discussing families in his class, Tom Owens informed everyone that he was the cute little brother in his family! Jane DeWandel had a special treat this year - she inherited her grandmother's false teeth! Todd Nolte joined us this year. Third grade was a great year of learning while having fun. We learned more on our field trips and still had a lot of fun. This year, we dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians for an old fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. We improved our writing skills by writing to pen-pals in Williamson. At the end of the year, we went to the Town Park for a picnic and also to meet our pen- pals. Mr. Cantin's class visited Heritage Square in Ontario to see a log cabin and a one room school house. Our class picnic was at Forman Park just like other years. This year we were joined by Denise Sommerville, Tracy LaBarr, and Michelle is er. As fourth graders, some of our classmates tried to develop a new talent - playing instruments in the Band. Others tested their spelling ability and entered the fourth grade Spelling Bee. Steve Johnson proved to be the champion speller. This year we visited the Genessee County Museum in Mumford. rmg ore about how to ride a bus since this was where most of our day was spent. New arrivals this year were Dan Worthin ton and Pat Bliek. Fifth grade arrived and we now changed classes and teachers or every su ject. This year we learned our states and where they were located from Mr. to . M . 1 lfanger introduced us to a new game called Gumball. We couldn't wait to get our work done so we could play was nicknamed The Hulk this year because he always wore his incredi- ble Hulk shirt to school! We, also competed in ie d Days. The athletes of the class proved themselves in such events as the softball throw, the base run, and the long jump. We all had the most fun in the tug of war competition. Because of a gas shoitage, we were not able to go on any field trips this year. OFFICERS: Vice-Pres. -- D. Moon, Pres. - S. Roegiers, Sec. - K. Almy, Treas. - T. Weeks. l l l l

Finally, we reached sixth grade and were the big shots of the school. Little did we know, we would be the little kids again next year. In spite of that, we managed to have a great year. We were all overjoyed the first day of Mr. Christie's English class when he announced that he didn't give homework. Unfortunately, all the other teachers did. Our year came to a close with field days, a class picnic, and the second annual sixth grade graduation where many of us won awards. Before entering laiglh gtchool, we were given a chance to take a tour and try opening the lockers. A new member of our class this year was o erow. The beginning of our stay at the high school was difficult, confusing and sometimes even frightening. If we weren't wandering around lost, we were trying to get our lockers open. Once we did get our lockers open, there was always an up- perclassman standing by to slam it shut on us and make us even later for our next class. The upperclassmen also had a thing about trying to stuff some of us into garbage cans head first. As the year went on, we became more and more used to the new school. We received a lot more homework and a lot less free time. Our money-raising groject this year was the trash pickup. Mr. Morrell's homeroom won third place in the Eddy Meath penny fund contest. heryl DeToye became a member of the class of 1986 this year. When we returned as eighth graders, if felt good not to be the youngest anymore. Many of us started to join clubs and play sports. The big kids had the new seventh graders to pick on this year. To earn money for the senior trip, we held a Turkey Supper. Many of us learned how to be waiters and waitresses, some even got to do dishes. We were all looking Giward to our next year when we would officially be high school students. A new member of our class this year was Brent esa. Our Freshman year brought even more new experiences. Some of us were introduced to Regents classes this year. Our class project was selling Kadet Stationery. We made 8888.70 to go toward our senior trip. We also were qualified to play on J.V. sports teams now. For a differe kindaof a field trip, we went to see Ghandi for Social Studies class. Three people joined our class this year. They were Rich C Bonnie Hutt, and Steve Albano. As sophomores, our year was a li ess exciting. The thrill of being Senior High had worn off in our Freshman year. Still, we managed to have fun, especially in Mr. Roods' biology clas. There was never a dull moment in there. He introduced us to many interesting animals. We got our own fetal pigs to dissect. lf he ran out of the pigs, he offered us a different animal. I won't say what it was, but I will say that no one took the second choice! To raLse m ney, we held a Sophomore Supper. Many new people joined us this year. Ryan Remington, Jeff Lammers, andiH were a few. Two very special epeople that joined us were Mi Hwa and Mi Kyung Lee. They came all the way fro orea to become pan of the class of 19 6. We were very proud to have them graduating with us this year. Eleventh fgrade, our junior year, brougxilft new changes. Some of our classmates decided to study at BOCES. This took them away rom us for half of the day. any of those who chose to stay, were faced with Regents Examinations and the fear of failinl-g. No one is likely to forget Mr. Henrie's class. His lectures and his yardstick ere things we shall never forget. lilight Mr. enrie?!j This year we sold candybars for a fundraiser. Ron Specht andI,S:teye-WVQQ, became members of our c ass. Here we are, seniors at last! The year we'd been looking forward to for so long has finally arrived. The last addition to our class was Karrie Moyer. Our senior activities began in August with the senior booth at the Wayne County Fair. We also sold magazines for a fundraiser. The next big event was the Senior Play. Our class performed a different type of play than previous classes had. l Remember Mama was on the serious side, but we still had a great time doing it. In February, we were measured for our caps and gowns. We were beginning to realize just how close graduation was. For the last few years, the senior Class did not have a turnabout day. The class of t 1986 brought this tradition back on February 28. Many of us enjoyed the experience of becoming teachers, principals, secretaries, custodians, and cafeteria ladies. The first six months of our senior year have been very eventful, but we still have many activities to look forward to in the last four. Our Senior Dinner Dance will be held at Marvin's Country Club on March first. The Senior Trip will be in April. Many of us can not wait to see New York City and Washington. Those members of our class that are in the Band and Colorguard will be traveling to Toronto to compete this year. This is due to Mr. Thompson's and Mrs. Gigliotti's fine work with all of us. Our senior year will be the last chance to go the Prom. This year, unlike past years, the Prom will be held at The Trenholm East lnn. The theme song will be This Could be the Night which ties in with the theme - A wht to Remember. Finally, it will be graduation time in June. e will all miss each other when we go our separate ways. I hope these two pages will help each and every one of you remember all the good times the class of 1986 has shared. I also hope that we continue to see each other at each and every one of our class reunions. Good luck and God bless you all. Maureen McMahon ADVISORS: J. Reinhardt, J. Ramsey. Absent: B. Thompson, P.
