SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 9, 1972 Dear Diary, I'm so excited! Freshman in high school. Rip's so big and all those rooms! Got lost before each period. At least I know some kids. Mrs. Schwartz and Mr. Byrnes will be with us for the next four years. Four years. Wow! What an eternity. I guess we'll be having elections soon. Hope our advisors CSchwartz and Byrnesl will be easy to work with. I don't know what lies ahead. October 10, 1972 Dear Diary, We've already had our elections. President is Betty D'Andreag V.P. is Kiki Gershmang Alana LaBella is our Secretary, and Annette Wexler is our Treasurer. At our first class meeting our advisors stressed the spirit of co-operation and class unity. They also spoke about something called a 1egacy',. Ilm not too sure what it means, but I don't think anyone else knows what it means either. Already teachers are telling me to plan for everything. What that comes down to as far as class activities are concerned is that if we want anything, we had better be able to pay for it. November 6, 1972 Dear Diary, Had our first bake sale today. Cakes, cookies, and brownies were stored in the English Office. Our officers organized this sale. It took place 5th period in the cafe. We made alot of money. I guess we're off to a good start. Welre starting to build a legacy of how to make money. December 20, 1972 Dear Diary, Report cards have already come out once and we're already into the second quarter. Everyone is looking forward to the Christmas vacation. Never had to do homework over Christmas before. That really upsets me. What kind of a vacation is it? Teachers tell me to use the time wisely and prepare for my mid-term exams. I don't know what these are either, but I bet theylre terrible. A listing of top ten songs was put out by WABC - Brandy, American Pie, etc. February 23, 1973 Dear Diary, Exams have come and gone. A bad scene. We're doing great with selling doughnuts in the cafe. We still store them in the English Office. I'm not so sure we take out of there the same number period i?5 that we bring in there before school. However, we still sell all that we bring down to the cafe. The kids buy everything in sight. There is NO lunch program here. What an easy way for us to make money. We're saving it so we can take a class trip in June. They told us to plan!! April 4, 1973 Dear Diary, Great planning! Had our first car wash today. It felt like it was 20 degrees below zero. What a cold I got! May 10, 1973 Dear Diary, Another great planned day. Had another doughnut sale, except no one knew about it. We're stuck with seven dozen doughnuts. They won't get stale too quickly, will they? We have to unload them somehow. June 18, 1973 Dear Diary, Class trip today. Two bus loads went to Pinecrest C.C. but no one was there to meet us. Had to clean the pool out ourselves but had a great time. Hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, watermelon, and soda. All you could eat. Super! Exams are over. I'm a 10th grader. Great ending for my Freshman year.
