To Learn Getting older opened new doors. MEEP brought welcome relief from the more rigorous academics at Main Street. Whether playing or watching, we found Legion ball at the rec field, under the lights, captiuating. Occasional trips from Main Street School to see high school musical and dramatic productions shar- pened our anticipation of future high school days. In admiration and awe, we watched the big kids' athletic contests. We clapped as loudly as anyone at their graduation. Finally it was our turn. We entered high school and were swept up by the transformation of children into young adults. Study halls took up any free time during school. Teachers wanted reports, and that meant lots of time in the library, testing to see how much Mrs. Cassort would let us get away with before kicking us out. Playing a sport meant a real com- mitment, with practices every day and a huge list of training rules. Of course we wanted to be a part of every activity — Student Council, Masque, Latin Club and all the others !U.S History, Communica- tions I, and PE and Health separated us from the upperclassmen, who made sure we fully understood that separation dur- ingjreshmen initiation. Playing was out; learning was in. 6

To Grow Being upperclassmen seemed to be the epitome of all our dreams. As sophomores we knew all the ropes. We did not have to contend with study halls, and our choice of courses was more open. We stood a chance of win- ningsomething during homecoming and of making a varsity team. By the time we were juniors, we had survived Mr. Browns and Mr. Tuckers drivers ed classes and had licenses We participated in the community- sponsored Shadow Program We used our sports waivers to get out of spending lunch periods playing tennis for Miss Stowell and sneaked out of school for a shake and fries at McDonald’s. Senior year started before school did, with senior portrait sittings at Lizzari’s. Finally rewarded with senior privileges, we took off after our last classes, leaving the underclassmen to endure afternoon home room alone. We chose a freshman to initiate and planned rotten things for our unsuspecting victims to make up for our own receptions. Then suddenly, in a whirl, the Senior Dinner-Dance took us up to graduation time, and we realized that we were capital adults off to capture the world.
