Crazy classroom antics make great memories Hours of concentrated ef- fort were broken by brief moments of mirth. Many humorous escapades were pulled off without premedi- tation, sometimes even purely by accident. At Open House, Him Tracy and Mi- chele Santopietro were demonstrating a chemistry lab when Michele threw flammable material into a plastic wastebasket. After a few minutes they noticed a sharp smell. A fire had started in the basket. Fortu- nately, the flames were quickly extinguished, leav- ing the basket only slightly singed. ln one sophomore geom- etry class, Lori Ematrudo's hiccups had gotten out of control and were disturbing the class, so Sr. Marialice gave her a detention. Five minutes later, Sr. Marialice asked Lori if her hiccups were gone and, sure enough, they'd been scared out of her! Mr. Sieracki and his classes were famous for an- tics. One such incident oc- curred when one of the ju- nior history classes kid- napped a lamb from Sr. Hancy's bulletin board and held it for ransom. A shiny new penny was discreetly delivered to pay for the safe return of the lamb. Classroom capers not only broke up the routine of a school day, but they also provided students with many stories to tell to fu- ture grandchildren on cold winter nights. Right: ln a SHA version of total phone, Heisha Marotti, Barb Zi- poli,'Jennifer Kryznel and Plancy Lee talk on the phone.

Out-of-classroom activities result in relaxation Students weren't all die- hard grinds this year. Whether it was before 8:00 a.m. or after 2:10 p.m., they did have to fill those pre- cious minutes of freetime. Before the school day be- gan, Cindy Pettella and Tra- cy Campbell could be found swimming at the Hamden YMCA while Debbie Bradley was often at the Hamden ice rink. But not everyone had to go somewhere be- fore dutifully traveling to school. Most students had the predictable routine of getting up, taking a shower, dressing, eating and doing any last minute chores lin- cluding homeworkj before leaving for school. After a fun day of classes, students spent the rest of their afternoon in different ways. Some girls watched T.V. for awhile when they returned home to relax and unwind. Others stayed after school for meetings while some had part-time jobs. Jen Cierme commented, After 2:10, I went to meet- ings, exercised, and did homework. Even if one did not plan on doing anything before and after school, some- thing always seemed to come up to make the time a struggle. Heather D'Auria said, I always ended up fighting for a seat on the city bus! Y 4 1 2535325 75 5233556 Before 8amfAfter 5pmfSeniors
