Scituate High School - Chimes Yearbook (Scituate, MA)

Page 6 text:

It was the year nineteen hundred and eighty-three, things were confusing in house A and house B. As a class we were bold, no fears for us, the seniors seemed so old, so our frosh girls left us. It was a year of trends, led by Gus and Dave C, we all went to school dances to watch them break in Caf. B. On weekends Peggotty Beach attracted a crowd, but the Boys always came, ' cause we were too loud. Our administration began with Gowen and Keane, then passed three others, who couldn ' t handle the scene. We travelled as a class to Riverside Park, The Turkish Twirl was the ruffest, it made us all barf. Then came the warm weather, to Minot beach we went if someone jogged by, it probably was Kent. Then in with ' 84 and our Sophomore year, when we traveled to Worchester and then Boston to cheer, for our hockey team took it all, captured the cup, that was Coach McKeever ' s last year, he had some good luck. Take pride in yourself Dr. Mika told us It didn ' t catch on, so he too left us. However that didn ' t come as much of a shock, for we knew 10 administrators, 7 of which took off. Doug Flutie was in, as was the spit, and this was the year for the Sophomore Boat Trip! We danced on board and had quite a party, then we found a new vice principal, our friend Mr. Gilarde. But back to guidance then went he, no more cool morning announcements, Since he was no-more-no-less than an ex-V.P. Mr. Freccero arrived, and he ended up staying, he watched us outside, not it was hackey-sack that we were playing. We then became juniors, in the fall of ' 85, we were now a little older, and beginning to drive. Those who had cars drove to the Powder Puff game, what a party that was, too bad our team was so lame. Surfing was now a year round trend, and Angus Young was in once again. Between SADD-AIDS-MADD and giving blood, paranoia spread, along with Gloria ' s flood. We lost our smoking area, new rules were instated, Dr. Alson was here, and a new prison created. We had the worst attendance problem in the state, I don ' t know about you, it made me feel great. We did have it tough, between courses and tests, we took PSAT ' s, achievements and the rest. 2
