DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN? by Genevieve Turcotte 1979-1980 The Freshman year was one of excitement, anticipa- tion, anxiety, and fear. Com- ing from a basically strict en- vironment, the students ofthe class of ’85 could not believe all the freedom given to them. We did not have to walk single file to lunch, we could chew gum, and we could sit wher- ever we wanted, even with a choice of what “delicacies” to digest (?). Maybe the food fight was started because of the “bouncing brownies”! The true facts are classified as top i oy . secret! Although we were quite aware of the privileges of being in high school, the re- strictions seemed a bit vague. AWOL, what’s awol? We were just taking a healthy walk through the courtyard! Regardless of the initial confusion, the class of ’85 soon fit in with the rest of the crowd. When Spirit Week came around, we sowed them “our sturi wis brought us second piace Nevertheless, our jumping and screaming was put to good use at the football game, for we actually won. Boy, that was a long time ago! Because of the spun shown at the rallies, the class of ’83 was forced to direct its energies towards selling white boxes full of Christin “goodies.’’ One student, perhaps fed up with being accosted by the freshmen salespersons, decided to take out his frustrations on an administrative official: rl yer woe if y However, it was an “isolated incident” and the school soon recovered from the crisis. Of all the pleasant memo- ries of the freshman year, that which will be treasured the most was that we did not have to take final exams if we had an average of 85 or above. Those were the good “ole” days!

1980-1981 No longer as “itty-bitty,” the class of ’83 most definitely de- served to be called “silly” in its Sophomore year. Sophomore girls expressed their new- found self-assurance by bravely parading in feather earrings with other parapher- nalia dangling from their waists. This confidence be- came contagious and by Spirit iWeecke we made our co- advisors, Mr. LeClerc and Miss Walek, proud of us as we Se- cured a first place victory. Not bad for “silly” Sophomores. In the “outer world,” a new cult was established, worship- Gere or the Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show who were equipped with toast, rice, toilet paper, and water. (We do not even want to know what they did Withsthatestuir |) Gould it be that the fifteen guys who piled into David Mace’s Volkswagon with no back seat or body in Geeta revere Meiners Om this strange cult? Nobody really knows. Because the class of ’85 was maturing (?), a whole new set of responsibilities was given to the students. The most tedious was Driver’s Ed. with its “pre- historic” movies about total airheads who didn’t know the CUUGIESINGS Olen e sia Hole Sele ing wheel and the glove com partment. Speaking of abnor- mal human beings, everyone must remember the Blues Brothers act in the Talent Show! One of the most bizarre events towards the end of the Sophomore year, this extrava- ganza brought all the weirdos out of their closets. . Although the year was mostly a pleasant one, things outside the school were a bit grim. Gypsy moths were eat- ing all our trees, assassination attempts were made on the Pope and the President, and Proposition 2¥2 went through; however, the Hostages were finally returned and, on a live- lier note, the romantic couple OipmeseCade =P Iiice Wharies and Lady Diana, were mar- mica: The highlight of the Sopho- More year Came when siue dents received their long awaited class rings. Now we were “official” high school students. (see 1981-1982, page Wy)
