President Thom Polera Vice-President Scott Simons We re Free! Free at last! For some there will be no more books, as they enter various employment; but for the college bound, the size of each stack of books will vary. We hope success will come to all our lives As sophomores, we faced the dilemna of filling an empty piggy bank and surviving upper class harrassments In the fall, we rallied around the annual bonfire, launched our Thanksgiving drive, and at Christmas we deco- rated the alcove. In our junior year we initiated the sophomores relentlessly. We all breathed more easily after the PSAT, Merit Scholarship, and SAT exams. Our junior prom could have been topped only by our Senior Ball. The arrival of our class rings was an omen of a fantastic senior year As seniors we have repainted the senior lounge and used it until it shows signs of wear. We sweated through the Regents Scholarship Exam. Our Senior Play was applauded as a great success. This year our Ball proved to be the best in R.F.A.’s history. We anxiously awaited the news of acceptance or rejection to our chosen col- leges or jobs. Then with a last burst of enthusiasm we planned our senior picnic. Graduation? well, it’s a strange feeling to meet the future and search for an identity Secretary Bob Dixon Treasurer Bob Grabo
