Here ' s To The Leaders Of 1981 The Class of ' 81 officers were working hard for the present Senior Class long before the time of gradu- ation. The activities had to be planned well in ad- vance to assure a successful Senior year. Andrew Moore (President) along with Greg La- sonde (Vice President), Marcy Sitnik (Treasurer), Tracey Zeckhausen (Secretary), and Mrs. Browne (Advisor) began preparations for Senior year by working closely with the administration and previous class officers. The Senior prom, banquet, and graduation are all carefully coordinated to make the Senior year at Minnechaug memorable. The Senior kickoff dance in October began the long chain of events that were engineered by the officers to ensure that the whole class could participate in traditional Senior activities. Thanks to the hard work of our officers, our advi- sor, and assistance given by many other members of the Class of ' 81 and faculty, our Senior year was a great success. Claire Heffernan

Class History 1977-1978 Everyone in the Class of ' 81 started their Freshman year with lots of enthusiasm but typical first-year problems. The very first was finding your way around in new surroundings. Other problems included dripping hair (from everyone ' s favorite, Freshman pool), big Seniors, remembering the order of rotating blocks, and getting our first fund-raiser, the pancake supper, off the ground. Infamous occurrences included a series of fires set around the school and the presence of an undercover policewomen who reported on the use of drugs and alcohol by Chaug students. If these two events didn ' t show us how fun Minnechaug would be in the coming years, we were hit with Arena in May. This was also the year the Falcon football team won the Suburban League title. All in all our first year wasn ' t that bad, and it prepared us for what was to come in our next three years at Minnechaug. 1978-1979 Sophomore year began with Project Adventure which was designed to build trust and confidence among fellow students. Then, we had another year of pool, this time a more practical life-saving course. It was also the year of our first major fund-raiser, the candy sale. The halls were flooded with eager candy sellers trying to hock chocolate bars to earn money for their class and win prizes for themselves. We also designed and selected our class rings, held a bake sale, and won the J.C.L. Battle of the Classes dance. This was the year the speed bumps at the Tinkham gate were put up and down, up and down, up and down . . . Again our Falcon football team captured the Suburban League championship, this time with an undefeated season. 1979-1980 Junior year meant mandatory driver education, which then led to behind-the-wheel training and finally getting the eagerly awaited driver ' s license. More fund-raisers came our way. The calendar drive turned us into instant door to door salesmen. Luckily we had no more pool requirements, but those crafty Phsy. Ed. people did introduce us to square dancing. It was also the year of standardized testing. The P.S.A.T. in the fall and later the S.A.T. and A.C.T. Again we won the J.C.L. Battle of the Classes dance. The end of the year marked our last year of that madhouse called Arena and the prelude to our Senior year. 1980-1981 Senior Year. After three long years it finally arrived. This year started with the kickoff dance, the turkey raffle, and the work weekend, our last fund-raisers. Besides keeping up with school work we were occupied with college interviews, filling our endless applications, and most importantly, deciding what direction was for us (college, job. etc.) come June. At the end of the year came the 50 days dance, prom, banquet, and finally . . . graduation! Although the long awaited graduation ceremonies meant no more high school, it also marked the last time we appeared together as an entire class. It was a time for memories, the happy and the sad, as well as a time for hopes and expectations for the future. Farewell and good luck to all!!! I Peter Hassiotis
