OUR CLASS As lime passes and the world changes, so do our tastes. Before you giggle. I don't mean that sense for which our tongue was made. That pro- bably has changed too. but not as fast as our likes in the movies, television, and music. We're a fickle group and by the time this reaches the printing press it is probable that it will be out of date. Anyway, here is the list exactly as voted in October of 1985. Only the top vote-getters are listed to conserve space. Favorite Male Screen Star Sylvester Stallone Rob Lowe Clint Eastwood Mel Gibson Eddie Murphy Arnold Schwarlzeneggar Pee Wee Herman Tom Cruise Harrison Ford Michael J.

The ski club also went to Canada and Austria during our four years. Tennis, softball, baseball, and track always provided some good times for the end of the year. The teams got the privilege of sharing buses and along with that, sharing victories. There were some interesting faculty games throughout the year. For those of us that were not very athletic but liked to go to the games we could always join Q-Club or cheering. Even those of us who chose not to do these (and for some who did these) we were kept busy in one way or another. The science club always had something going on. We visited New York, climbing the Empire State Building one year and the World Trade Center the next. The trip always included stops at the Bronx Zoo and colleges like West Point. We also had hiking expeditions on ML Chocura (with Chris Coughlin's lunch for fifty which he had finished before we reached the top). The math faculty could always find a way to use up our spare time. There was the Continental, National, and New England Math Leagues and the American Computer Science along with several other smaller teams. The computer room was always open for help or just some fun which was usually the case. The Computer Club was basically a group of hackers who exchanged software and played game after game. The Foreign Language Club usually planned an interesting trip somewhere and the English department was always capable of teaching us the excitement of riding home from Newport, R.l. on a defective bus. The history faculty never failed in bringing up another one of those great essay contests that Every one of us should enter.'‘ There was also the student government which proved to be one hell of an effort. We had two successful proms and even more successful parties along with the Proms. April 12, 1985. and May 23, 1986. are the dates that many of us will always remember. Those of us who did not go to the Junior Prom will still remember the date because it was on that day that the Quincy Public School teachers decided to go on strike to settle their contract. Unfortunately for us. it only lasted that one day. We lucked out when it came to fashion styles because just about anything was in. Styles varied from paisley to fluorescent outfits, which reminds me. how can any of us forget the HOODSIES, you know, the loud, obnoxious, females who get along with underclassmen and flirt with everyone. Another major achievement during our high school years is that Quincy High must have had the largest sale of M 'n M's per capita in the nation. Everyone enjoyed hearing that Chris, Steve. Mike and Sam were suspended for aggravating Mr. Pactovis during junior year. Well, we are leaving now. We have watched three classes come in behind us. I; wonder if they will live up to our achievement, or maybe that is an impossibility. We. are going on to various lifestyles now. Some of us have chosen to go to college and some of us are going straight to work. We are a group of people with distinct dif- ferences that has succeeded in proving that people who have very little in common other than the fact that we attend the same school can be successful and have a great time doing it. Whatever our plans are for the future there is no doubt that we« will remember the past four years and reflect back on them with a sense of pride and happiness. Good Luck to Everyone. Don't forget the precious friendships that we have made during our high school years. Our Class History 13
