Narragansett High School - Maritimes Yearbook (Narragansett, RI)

Once again, a highly successful Horror House was put on. (Children still see Mike as Frankenstein and hear Kim’s tortured wails in their dreams.) The variety show was appropriately titled “Something Spectacular.” Co-directed by Bill Allen and Lynne Dragon, a unique show was created. The Dick Crammit show will never be forgotten . . . especially by Mr. Petro. On May 23. The Junior Prom was held at Meadowbrook Inn. Rumor has it that Jane is still recovering from the post-prom party held at her house. Our Prom Queen. Kim Casey, was elected from a court of real beauties: Lilly Smith. Renee Bouchard. Lori Doliber. Lori Dillon, and Donna Babich. We were saddened by the Class of ’78’s graduation, but got over it soon enough to take over Senior Hall the very next day! Finally, we were Seniors!!! The year started off with a bang as we estab- lished our supremacy. We elected the final council of our high school years: fifteen members, the chairperson being David Cicilline, vice-chairperson Lori Doliber. treasurer Karen Hoyt, and secretary Kim Casey. We started off by purchasing buttons for that all-important game against South Kingstown. They read simply. “Kill S.K.” We have plans for our final Christmas Dance. Spaghetti Supper, etc.. . . Our Senior Prom, already being planned, promises to be smashing! Graduation will be exciting, but certainly tearful. The administration, teachers and undergraduates may never recover from the loss they will receive in June. (It is said that Mr. McCarthy smiles at the thought of it. only to cover up for his tremendous sadness.) Oh. how quiet the school will be then! Our class is certain to have many famous people, and one can imagine what our reunions will be like. (What? Oh. Mark. Please. No more stink bombs.) Well, until then. Good-Bye. . . — the Class of ’79 az t £. Soffit 1961-1978 Oo with ai yzitzrdau dJi to tj£ with ui today and tomorrow 15

 Thai class of ’79 has struck again!” That thought must have run through the minds of Narragansett’s faculty and administrators throughout our high school years, all of which have been spent in the new High School. We. the Class of '79. have started many traditions, changed many attitudes and had our share of rebellious fun. . Always a force to be reckoned with, we started as freshmen in the battle for supremacy among the classes. After all. with no seniors to fill the all-important role and to help keep us in line, we were free to operate at will. Starting by electing a council of eleven, we were guided throughout our Freshman year by chairperson Bill Allen, treasurer Mike Millcn. and secretary Lori Doliber; as our advisor. Mrs Burns. (Ah! If she had only known .) We truly showed our abilities in unusual ways. After all. who else would call a dance that earned a four-dollar profit a success? But after various bake sales, a concert by the U.R.I. jazz band and other assorted activities, we proved that we would and could help to fill the school with the pride of Narragansett. During our Sophomore year, we again elected a council that reflected our class s power. With Bill Allen as chairperson. Karen Anne Hoyt as vice-chairperson. Mike Millcn as trea- surer. Lori Doliber as secretary and. of course. Mrs. Burns our advisor. How could we go wrong? This was a year for precedents for our class. We started the year with the Gym-Jam, the first dance ever held in the gym. It was closely followed by the Horror House, which has become an annual class event. We ended the year with the first Narragansett High “scan- dal and our only class stigma. When the World History class planned its trip to the United Nations in New York City, no one could have predicted the outcome. That unfortu- nate trip put us. the Super Sophomores. in headlines from the Narra- gansell to the New York Times. After all. how often does a high school field trip almost cause an international incident (as the result of a stink bomb, no less!)? From that time on. a close watch was kept on the class activities we planned. But. that didn’t stop us! We eagerly moved on to our car wash. Perhaps playing on our somewhat tarnished reputation, some- one managed to assert that we had assaulted a woman with a sponge and lots of soapy water. We were able to clearly prove our innocence in that case, though. We approached our Junior year with caution, vowing to behave. The council was expanded to seventeen members, with Kelley Cronin taking over the job of chairperson. K. A. Hoyt as vice chairperson. Mike Millen as treasurer and Lori Doliber as secretary (again?). Mrs. Burns faithfully accepted the job as advisor again. (By that time there was no way out!) We received our class rings by Christmas, and dis- played our shimmery red stones proudly, proving we were finally upperclassmen. . back at the Jr. High in (raining for our high school years. 14
