Four Years in the Life This is it people, class and all concerned parties. The Seekonk High School Class of 1988 is now fading into perpetual Memoryland. Just think; no more classes, no more books, no more having to push and shove and be beaten sense- less trying to worm your way to the front . Of the slush puppie line. And papers, and tests, and quizzes, out the window for good — unless of course you're col- lege-bound. Four years in one spot can sure cramp one’s imagination, yet none can say that not one person didn’t at least laugh, or smile, or feel lonely, or sad, or even a bit frustrated at times. These are all natural emotions for vacil- lating semi-adults. Now we're at the crossroads, the looking-back time. i Do you remember: Mr. Hurly and the camping trip? How about the school store? Or those hour-long homework assignments miraculously completed in ten-minute homeroom periods. And Mr. Dias, Principal 1? And whatever hap- pened to those fluorescent clothes into which many girls invested huge sums of money, only to have seen the style fade faster than anyone could buy a Relax T- shirt or even say, “‘Relax?’” There were the preppie fads, and New Wave fads, and even Murphy fads. Our class was also unique in that our generation expe- rienced many crashes. First, there was the tragic 1986 Space Shuttle loss which rocked the nation and devastated NASA’s quest to explore the last and greatest frontier known to man; later, in the autumn of our senior year, we also witnessed Stock Market Crash II, a Black Monday we’ll surely all remember. There was also Bopal, Chernobyl] and the advent of mankind’s new red death, AIDS.
