Hirst glances at the MONKSSF shouldn't be like looking through an unfamiliar, new b x k but more like leafing through a favorite scrapbtxik. All of us created Good Times I Remember. Although the publications class put it together, the students created the memories that made it happen. In years to come we'll look back and realize that in these four high school years we were guarded from a world where everyone seemed against us. We were taught to cope with the outside so that when we were put into it we’d be ready to face the world and work with it instead of against it. The best of our time, effort and imagination was used in this 1976-77 yearbook so that you can always remember all the gcxxi times and look forward to the best ones that are yet to come.
