our class advisors, were the reason behind the great success of our senior class. There were college applications to fill out, tests to take, term papers to write and so much more. With the responsibilities of being seniors also came the recreation. The fall brought a successful football season as well as the senior run concession stand which was the best place in town for a cup of chocolate and a hot dog on a stick. The football season was highlighted by the selection of Janice Hayes as homecoming queen and Pam Angelakis senior representative. The senior girls gave their best effort as they challenged Beverly in a hard fought Powder Puff game at the tradi- tional meeting of the two teams at Bertram Field. The class of 1985 added spirit to our Thanksgiving Pep Rally and Anne Keon was named queen of the rally. The junior-senior cotillion was held in January and a major snow storm did not dampen our spirits. Maureen Gauthier was selected queen and thanks to Pam and Kurt who shoveled the front walkway, we were able to leave o ur boots in the car. With the spring came senior hat day, senior slide, class trips, and the anticipation of our last day of school on May 24th. Our senior show, “We’re seniors, what’s your excuse?” under the direction of Sharon Rousseau, was a ton of fun and a huge success. Four years of meeting academic and artistic challenges and excellence were rewarded as 77 seniors were honored as recipients of scholarships and awards on May 28th at Awards Night. Senior week began with our beautiful Senior Reception “Heaven” at Page’s Colonial in Lynnfield, while Eric Couture and Tanya Ventre served as king and queen for the evening. The luau was, unfortunately rained out, but the field house was transformed into a Hawaiian paradise and a terrific place for the event. As our last social event as the class of 1985 we gathered for the traditional senior banquet. Tomorrow, Graduation Day, marks the end of our journey, the completion of four years of hardwork, challenges, and excitement. The friends we have made and the memories we share will forever hold a place in our hearts and minds. As we receive our diplomas, thus ending this phase of our lives, let us always remember, “The good times are the best times; the bad times fade away. The good times are forever, but now, baby, the last time is today.” Good luck my friends! Renee-Marie Kluge Class Historian . . . 1985 4
