| : . : ; | | ] | We returned from our summer vacation with bright attitudes. The anxiety that we felt last year as little Freshmen wore off a little as we became accustomed to Seekonk High School and its procedures. Again, the routine beginning of the year red-tape was encountered (schedules, pamphlets, handbooks) and the year was underway!! We had a big year ahead of us, and we were off. As sophomores, we were promoted into the potential partying crowd of Seekonk. A typical Friday or Saturday night was spent hanging out at McDonald’s in the south end, at the Showcase, or frequenting the Seekonk Bowling Lanes. All in all, we took advantage of our newly found free- dom in many ways. The most important part of our Sopho- more year was when the Balfour represen- | tative visited the school to talk to us about class rings. We gathered up the pamphlets he offered us eagerly and began to design our rings. Gold, celestrium, silver, white gold — there were so many choices! Stone cut and color was an even harder choice ... $0 many decisions for a young child! In February we received the product of our decisions — our high school class rings. Sophomore year was also a big year for fundraising for the Class of 85. We knew we had to sell something in order to raise money for our class .. . but magazines???!! It was worth a try. Many prizes were awarded as incentives to get us to sell, and boy did we sell! We raised almost two thousand dollars for our treasury from our efforts. Our spirit as a class once again was evident. Spirit Week arrived just before Thanks- giving as is the tradition at SHS. Everyone participated in dressing up as motocycle gang thugs but only a few braved wearing togas to school. Our boys’ tug-o-war team proved to be the highlight of the games as they pulled to a big triumph over the “mighty” seniors. But all our efforts proved fruitless as we slopped to a last place standing. Even though we didn’t do too well in the rank- ings, we felt that our spirit was underesti- mated by the judges ... oh, well, maybe next year. The gala event of the year was the Soph- omore Semi-Formal, the only event of its type in eight years. The administration granted us permission to hold an event in the large cafeteria so we decorated it in blue and white crepe paper and rearranged the tables to accommodate the approx- imately two hundred people attending. Everyone arrived around 6:00 prepared to dance the night away!! Ron Jay provided the music (You call the “hokey pokey” SOPHO MORE YEAR: 1982-1983 music?) and the catered buffet was actually good! The atmosphere was extremely hap- py as classmates reacquainted themselves with people that they hadn’t spoken to in years. All squabbles and disagreements were put aside that night as our class acted as one unit. And they said that we were last in spirit — we had proven ourselves other- wise. The spring passed quickly and soon June was upon us. The coming of summer vaca- tion was a relief to all of us who had work- ed so hard during the year. Once again we prepared to say farewell for a few months and give the books a break. We would return in September well rested and ready for another year. A-5
