1. Amy Nourse, Laurie Woodford and Kathy Cahill make up a mean color combination while eating lunch in the cafeteria. If only Laurie's face weren’t the same color as the food on our trays!! Everything was happening on Halloween day. Students brave enough to suffer the wise-cracks wore costumes to class. This made them eligible for a prize to be awarded at the close of school. Some of the faculty participated in the event as well as the students. Students were asked to assemble in the Quincy Method Center for the final judging. Unfortunately, a number of the students did not appear. The judge had chosen one or two costumes in advance and was disappointed that those students did not attend. Not only that, no teacher found the nerve to show up. Even with the lack of teacher participation, Mr. John Scanlan was judged the best. There were some really great costumes, but unfortunately there were only four prizes to be given. Pam Mantia stood out with her orange and black tiger leotards. Michele Spillane was an Elvira look alike. Kathy Parrish, Pam Jonah, in QHS and Kim Pratt in the Voc-Tech were M M candies. Kerry Eden was a sea goddess that everyone thought was a mermaid. Amy Nourse was a strawberry and Michele Palardy was an olive. Paul Rosemond was a werewolf while Chris Murphy and Carl Johnson were the Blues Brothers. Runners-up in the contest were Janice Murray as Jock-O the clown and Lauren Standring, (Karin Eaton, and Maura Gar- rity as Siamese triplets. Placing second was Kristen O'Brien as a pregnant nun. The big winner was Ron DiBona. He dressed as a member of the Colorguard and was mistaken as a young lady by many members of the faculty. We wondered what happened each time he had to use the men's room, «dj bcg 6. The triplets Lauren Standring, Karin Eaton, and Maura Carrity trying out for The Chorus Line. HALLO 2. John Bogan seems to be robbing the cradle of Karen Boussy, dressed in her nightie with a lollipop and teddy bear, right in the corridors of QHS. Naughty! Naughty, John! 3.

THE NEW TECH SCHEDULE It was the dawn of a new age at the Tech. There was a new schedule for everyone. It was the beginning of the A-B schedule, a week of academic classes followed by a week either in the shops or out on the job for some related business. That was quite the adjustment. There was the assembly in V444. Every year we met in that same room and got the same speech from Mr. Mazzarella. 'You must accumulate 100 points to graduate. You need to pass four years of English, two years of math, a year of science and U.S. History.' It was the same speech that we heard for the last three years, but this would be the last time! Then we were told that the academic teachers in the High School would be teaching in the Tech. Some of us would never cross the bridge to the High School for a class during our senior year. Only students in college preparation classes would have to report to the High School. It was a new experience for us to have the academics in the Tech and it was probably even more of an experience for the teachers who had to come into the Tech for the first time. Being seniors and supposedly knowing everything, many of us were lucky enough to be tested before the first week was over. Ask the seniors in Electronics how it felt to get that exam on all the easy stuff that they were supposed to have learned in their first three years. This year was going to be different. It was our senior year. We were going to get out when June rolled around! 1. Sonya Gruchy and Paul Rosemond check with Assistant Director Marie Hurley about the new schedule. 2.

Marcy DiStefano and Pam |onah comfort the pregnant? nun, Kristin O'Brien 4. Barbara Kovalski, Kim Pratt, Sonya Gruchy and Jacquiline Carlson show off. This seemed to be an M M year. Of course, we found other interesting individual costumes all over the school. Kelly Rogers appeared as a baby rabbit. Cathy LeBlanc BEARIy made it through the day, while Lisa Forde portrayed Minnie Mouse. Tracy Cullen and Kathy Kahale managed to clown around all day long. Lynn Crossman wore Jay Dennett's football uniform and was ready to throw some flying cross body blocks. Julie Coste came in wearing Dave Kraunelis' hockey uniform. In contrast to this outrageous behavior, Ms. Deborah DeCristofaro was the cutest little cheerleader, but not as cute as Ron DiBona as a member of the Colorguard. After school the activities were far from over. At 6:30 the Quincy Presidents met Weymouth North at the stadium. The Presidents were victorious with a score of 33-12. Children under the age of ten were allowed in- to the game free if they came in costume. Prizes were awarded at half-time by the Football Parents Club near the concession stand. The night was cold and the number of costumed children dwindled quickly as they switched to warmer apparel. Parties which normally would have been planned were postponed to Saturday night because the SAT exams were scheduled for Saturday morning. Some students who didn't have to take the SAT exams attended parties in North Quincy and Weymouth Landing. On the whole, there were few pro- blems and nearly everyone had a good time. For the first time in quite a few years, there were no stories of tainted candy being handed out to children. There were few incidents of children being bothered F v older kids. It turned out to be a fun Halloween! WEEN Mcxy by Njncy Powm. photo» by Uuren Sundhrtg. Ki»l Joh -von ■ • ■ ■ 15
