Robin Barber and Sr. Jacqueline wade through some geometric proofs. .. . Arbor Day was an important event that spring; accompanied by several guitars, we attempted to sing To Be Alive! The time capsule was decorat¬ ed with a collage of our faces and we each shov¬ elled some dirt over the roots of our Mountain Ash tree. Then it was June, and we became upper¬ classmen. Finally.

Though still underclassmen, we felt quite superior to the incoming freshmen and rarely overlooked a chance to snicker at their awk¬ wardness so lately abandoned by ourselves. However, we soon immersed ourselves in the production of a Christmas play and the results were unintentionally hilarious. It being the holiday season, the audience was merciful to our obvious lack of dramatic talent and sym¬ pathetic to our efforts. We took the NEDT test with our usual grace- What! Again?! - and geometric proofs and biological dissections became the order of the day. .. (RIGHT) Sign that girl up! Ann Doherty works on her batting stance.

Junior Year 1973-1974 Our junior year seemed ever so long, for we were subjected to many changes- in the curriculum and in other ways as well. A new schedule was adopted which introduced us to activity period and something called mods. Activity period enabled us to pursue many outside interests and once a week at that time we endured group singing. Early in the year we staged Adoption Day for our new little sisters by reading aloud their essays about a fictional character while we were dressed as that character. The freshmen, more nervous than we, did not seem at all enthusiastic about being greeted by the likes of Pinocchio, Batman, the Cowardly Lion, Dopey, and Casper the Friendly Ghost. We muddled through the PSAT ' s under the direction of the guidance coun¬ selor who constantly urged us to attend COLLEGE. There ' s gotta be an easier way.

Raggedy Andy (Terry Wicykowski) assists Oliver Hardy (Peggy Sevigny) cut the cake as Charlie Brown (Cindy Ru- vulo) observes the celebration. 20
