I Guess That ' s Why They Call It The Blues Freshman year can only be summed up in the title song by Elton John. The first year at Methuen High for many students is an adjustment period. Freshmen have to adjust to open classrooms, the layout of the building, the six day schedule, and being on the bottom rung of the ladder. By the end of October most of the freshmen have become lost at least twice and at least half of the freshmen who take a science have shown up late to a lab with a pass from their study teacher. Why? They forgot that they had lab on Day B! It ' s awfully hard to believe that we, the graduating class, were once as vague and immature as today ' s freshmen. It ' s even harder to believe that only three years ago we were the freshmen! M.B. Eicon John

This One ' s For You Through the Years in this vast Methuen High School, there has been a dedicated faculty member who has been willing to serve the students of this school as a friend as well as a confidant. This person has always been willing to listen to our problems, complaints, and criticisms, and has always tried to help us deal with them. His advice is considered, by many, to be the best around, and he is respected by faculty as well as students. It is with great pleasure that we, the Class of 1 984, dedicate our Yearbook to a former yearbook member himself — our man in tan pants — Mr. Nick. D.F. Barry Manilow Only once in a lifetime will one come across a person as devoted and as important as this special man that we, the Class of 1 98-4, dedicate our Yearbook to. This man has been the Heart and Soul of the majority of the activities of our class. He has volunteered so much of his valuable time to the well-being of the students and has been responsible for broadcasting many athletic, as well as academic events, and also for starting the DECA program. His dedication to the school has given him the respect of faculty as well as students, and his smile will always be remembered. We would sincerely like to show our appreciation and give our best wishes to Mr. Pilat in appreciation of everything he has done for us. D.F. The Class of 1 984 would like to thank these two men for all the dedicator and determination they have given our class. Without their encourage ment, our four years at Methuen High wouldn ' t have been as rewarding oi ; as successful as they were. Thanks Mr. Nick and Mr. Pilat, on behalf o the entire Class of 8-4 .

It ' s Getting Better All the Time The Beatles Sophomore year is an important yean. After a year of learning the ropes and testing the ground, Sophomores are ready to get involved. You establish yourselves as a part of the high school. You have always been a pant of high school, but now you will become more active. You are no ongen the babies of the school. You know your way around and you should know what to expect. The big part of Sophomore year is receiving class rings. This makes you feel like a more intimate part of the high school. You are also one step closer to graduating, and you feel, It ' s Getting Better All the Time. B.S.
