Hot Blooded Foreigner On two days this year, the courageous, brave souls of Methuen High School came out of the woodwork and appeared in the field house to participate in the bloodmobiles sponsored by the Senior Class. Upon entering the field house, one could see many queer expressions and could hear the whispering of questions such as: What am I doing here? and Is this going to hurt? being asked among many students. Apparently though, the students have decided that they were supposed to be there, for in the first bloodmobile alone, over 75 pints of blood were collected. Besides giving blood, there were many other tasks to be done and many seniors helped out in this class activity. Some helped by taking temperatures, others by carrying pints of blood, and still others by talking to people while it was their turn to give blood. D.F.

Your Song Elton John When given the task of choosing a theme for our yearbook, the staff was faced with many ideas and options ranging from the mildly realistic to the extremely ridiculous. After many hours of arguments and headaches, a decision was made to base the book on music and songs. We decided to do this not because it was 3:3Q on a Friday afternoon and we all wanted to get home, but because we realized that we had to choose a theme that appealed to everyone in the class. Let ' s face it, everyone likes music. Whether it be heavy metal or easy listening, we all expose ourselves to music everyday. We listen to it on the way to school, in our cars, and while doing homework (sometimes) after school. A big portion of our weekly paychecks goes toward new albums or cassettes, not to mention T-shirts, pins, and concert tickets. It is this mutual interest that brings us together not only as a class, but as a generation and that will provide us with memories that we will keep for many years to come. After all, that is what a yearbook is supposed to do, bring back memories. The 1 98 yearbook staff feels that we have accomplished this purpose; we only hope you do too.
