The Class of ' 87 began their senior year on the right foot with the Senior Kick-Off Dance. I Juniors Kathy Horacek, Meghan Farrell, Gina Alberici and Tracy Garceau wish they were seniors to celp celebrate the jubilant evening. 11 II ( 1 .i i WHAT A WORKOUT Dancing to the hip tunes we gather in th e old gym to dance the night away. This year dances were popular fundraisers. From the begin- ning of school, seniors looked forward to their Kick-Off Dance. In the Flesh was on hand and played fast to slow songs as seniors such as Nora Trebbe and David Hen- ningsen danced in groups or as cou- ples. October brought us the Battle of the Classes Dance, entertaining not only seniors, but freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors as each battled it out to be the number one class in spirit and attendance. With Christ- mas came Student Government ' s preparation for the Semi-Formal. People lined up dates, formal outfits, and reservations for dinner out. Un- der the red and white decorated gym, In the Flesh brought us to our feet once again. Will you go to the dance with me? The time crept up when it was the girls ' turn to nervously ask the guys to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. But, the dancing didn ' t stop there. Soon, we were kicking our heels up at the Fifty Days Dance and finally giving eighth graders a taste of Min- nechaug ' s social life at the Freshman Dance. We just never seemed to tire of a good time, and dances were al- ways an excellent way of bringing everyone together to celebrate. Finally, the dance of all dances wrapped up the year. The Class of ' 87 Prom was held at Chez Josef where once again In the Flesh rocked us through the night. WHAT A WORK OUT!

STYLE Trend setters With the discovery of the new mall we were eager to spend our time and our money, which we never seemed to have enough of. Finally there were some new clothes stores in which we could let our imaginations run wild. Somehow, the money we dug up, whether from Dad ' s wallet or our own, seemed to slip from our hands in a matter of minutes. Everyone wanted the clothes ' styles advertised in magazines, hoping they would re- semble the models wearing them. However, we needed more than hope and money for this to come true. But, we kept trying anyway. Girls were adorned in all kinds of styles, from mini-skirts to straight skirts that reached the ankles. It wasn ' t unusual to see girls in Dad ' s sweater either . . . the big look was in. This was the year pumps or flats were in style, as well as the never dying sneaker. Ear lobes sported more than enough holes for more than one earring, ranging from a simple stud to a dangling mass of loops. Hairdos ranged from a tradi- tional look to a spiked radical one, for both guys and girls. In the case of the guys, most wore their oxfords or rugbies, usually a duplicate of the other. This was also the year of tie dye and Levis 501 Blues. Yet, no matter what we wore, we determined our own style. Whether we followed the crowd or set the fashion, our appearance was what we made it. Even when we weren ' t on top of fashion, we had fun trying! The Boz is in as senior Michael Alberici changes his hair to fit the style.
