fin c ffijizzcLation As seniors we are each going through the process of defining ourselves as individuals. As a class, we respect Mrs. Pitocchi for her many contributions to our lives. Those of us who enrolled in Research Paper will never forget the slightly harrowing yet ultimately rewarding experience of writing our first paper. Creative writing gave us new outlooks on the world and ourselves. Most of all. we have benefited from her keen interest in teaching and in her students; we have been touched by her unique style that impairs both knowledge and humor. Thus it is with great affection and respect that we say. Thank you. Mrs. Pitocchi (ICaii. of ' 8

CLASS As everyone knows, a Senior is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. However, a Senior has not always been a Senior . . . As the Class of '78, we began our first year in high school, and at the same time finished our last year at “Narragansett Junior High.” Joe D'Abrosca was our president and Mr. Brown, our advisor. That year the whole school was preparing to enter the NEW high school. Even though we were moving, we still had time for our Variety Show. As active members of the student body we helped to publish the first hard-cover yearbook in Narra- gansett, and the last one to be published at the junior high level. We also had our own school newspaper and a literary magazine — the Amulet. In 1975. we said “Good-bye to our old symbol, the Indian, and N.J.H. forever. As Sophomores, we welcomed back the Class of '77 and had the unique chance of being upperclassmen in only our second year of high school. Mrs. DeGrass was our advisor then, with Pam Delman being chosen as chairman of the council. We sponsored the only suc- cessful dance of the year. Remember our first “Spirit Week”! Then we began our Junior year, this time with Mrs. Vento as our advisor and Phil Benoit as chairman of the council. We ordered and received our class rings before Christ- mas — we were truly upperclassmen, now! We sponsored a really successful variety show — The Junior Jamboree which would not have gone on without the talented direction of Tracey Cronin. There were stars everywhere! And, don’t forget selling Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to everyone in sight! But being a Junior meant we were all looking forward to our first prom. After a lot of discussing and planning. May 27th finally arrived. We enjoyed our dinner at the Lighthouse Inn and the prom went until 1:00 a.m. to the music of Shine. Most of us couldn't wait for June to finally come but when it did. it meant saying “Good-bye to our friends — the Class of '77. We were sad but not so sad that we didn't take over “Senior Hall as our own the following day.
