Dear Senior Year 1976-77, Senior Year Since we hope to have a newsletter in which all of you can read about each other in the future, I thoiiglit it would be appropriate to start out writing the first one to you. These are never easy, and it is likely that ! will leave out more than I put in, but hopefully this will jog some memories. There were some expected results. Ralph Bagen was number one in the class as he always has been. Derrick Binns achieved the giade VIII music along with Kern Rcid and Brian Frick. Joe Klemenl continued to be a student during the week and a Teacher on the weekend. Heather McPhee continud to be a star in French whilst Craig Tucker continued to be the spokespeison for the P.I .P. There were some unexpected events too. I arrived back in Bermuda to find that not only would we have a Mexican Rotarian, Olivia Talamas. but also a Scandinavian, Petra Krekola. Andrew Blaney came back from Canada while Warwick Academy sent us three students. Antoinette Beach covered everything including pillow cases with her art work, John Steele became further convinced that he should be a vet, and Richard Weinacht — a fellow member of the tribe — proved that hair made out of Brillo was not just science fiction. Stanley Monish and Ronald Brooks joined us from Whitney. Stanley became Kon ' s chauffeur as Ron ' s driving exploits became almost weekly reading in the newspaper. The media was not all bad. The abbreviated Summer term brought not only A. P. exams but also articles in all three newspapers, as well as both T.V. and radio stations. Derrick was interviewed for T.V. and I suppose we can forgive him for saying that the music stood out most in his mind — the Senior Choir was pretty good. The band even went coed with ' the addition of Jill Richardson. Billy Jack and Chris Tremaine were unsuccessful in defending their Stockpiler Project, but Bradley Johnston proved that Business may be the right major for him as he led his team to victory. Andrew Parsons got an ' A on his Economics ' O ' level so he might also turn out okay as a ' Forty Thief. Andrew also seemed to be Finnished quite a few parties. Parties — Senior Year had quite a few of them. The Christmas party became an annual affair thanks to the organization of Ann Maitland and Jimmy Madeiros. These two would also be the driving forces behind the Graduation Dinner which was a tremendoLis success. .And Ann ' s mother came up with a recipe not to be found in Mrs. Dunch s Cookery class — Fricadillos. Michael Anfossi might not remember, but how many of us will forget them or Winsor Beach? There were rumours that Barbara Perreault dropped out — unfounded — and that John Sv ainson made it to registration on time — also unfounded. Ian Page decided to be the next Jimmy Connors and enjoyed his tennis so much that he missed the first day of school ' I and decided that next year he would devote all of his time to the sport. After he ' s finished on the courts, he can go down to Rum Runners to drink with Joe Skinner. Michael Biu ke was a good Texan in OH WH.AT A LO ELY W.AR. Brian Frick wrote salient if ultra-conservative comments on the blackboards while Hugh Blackwood visited his pet shop. .Anna Tumbridge found horses easier to deal with than mathematics and bookkeeping while Carol Rego found Bill (or vica versa). Scott Maynes hionic shoe went flying through a window. Poker was cheaper! Stephen Steynor continued to preach while Heather Manderson tried and succeeded in finding a college that both she and Carol would would go to. Mark Dalpoggetto decided on aeronautics although it was agreed that his was the ' drcadest ' motorbike — or was it a cvcle ' . Kim Aubrey did wonders for the coeducational aspects of Senior Year by getting her Head together with Joe while Niki O ' Learv did the same with Derrick. Niki was also gi en a S2,20() scholarship ' by Hopewell Inter- national, bringing the total amount of money awarded to this year ' s group to almost $35,000, which is 207c of what will be needed to
