Seekonk High School - Seekonk Yearbook (Seekonk, MA)

Finally, we were SENIORS. The year was filled with responsibility. We had to choose colleges, fill out applica- tions, take the S.A.T.’s (sometimes again and again), and do our very best work in high school. A lot of us were team captains as well, and leaders. The year was filled with landmarks ... smoke bombs ... pumpkins... fires. ..mew school records... and first ever tie with D.R. at Thanksgiving. We picked Keri John- son as our Homecoming Queen, and we won Spirit Week by an impressive margin. We put four years of memories into our best yearbook yet. We still had a lot more to come with word from colleges, our hard-earned Senior Prom, and of course, graduation. Some of our friends in high school would be with us for the rest of our lives, some we would never see again. Some of us would go on to college, others to a new job. Most of us would not forget our four years in Seekonk High School, four of the most important years of our lives. In our JUNIOR year, we were relaxed and comfortable, in school. We didn’t have the problems of being under- classmen and we didn’t have the responsibility of being seniors. We took PSAT’s and a lot of that changed as we got buried by mail from colleges. It made us feel important but it reminded us that college wasn’t that far away. We chose Jodie Humphrey to represent us for Home- coming and we had the best float for the second straight year. In Spirit Week we finished a controversial second, but those who thought of our class as immature, quickly changed their minds. That winter we went to the most interesting dance in the school’s history ... The Crystal Ball. Better results came in June as we held our Junior Prom. We wished the graduating seniors good luck, but as we watched them go, we realized that some of our closest friends were gone and soon we would all go our separate ways.

FOUR When our FRESHMEN YEAR began, we looked forward to four years in a new school. It was so much bigger and better than the Junior High! Breaks between periods were longer ... we could go to our lockers at any time... slushes and fries .. . no more filing out of the cafeteria... and everyone felt better about new freedom. After a few weeks, that changed quickly as we found out who freshmen really were. We were suddenly “‘imma- ture’ again, when just a year ago we were the most ma- ture ... the oldest members of our school. We found that we had to wait a few years before we could excel in athletics. Most of all, we had to put up with abuse from upperclassmen. It took adjustments, but we all survived. As the year passed, we took part in our first class activities. The towel sale was a great success ... and of course, Kristen Hicks represented our class in the court as our first Homecoming Queen. Spirit Week? Well, maybe next year. We knew that everything would work out better for us in the years to come. In June, we realized that we had to somehow remember everything we'd learned over the past year for final ex- ams. When the last final was over, we all celebrated the coming of summer and the end of our toughest year while we looked forward to the promising future. y When we finally became SOPHOMORES, we made sure that the freshmen felt just as comfortable, as we did the previous year. A bit of pressure was gone, and we looked forward to being ‘‘mature”’ again. In the fall, we found more success in sports and some of us even made varsity teams. Diana Carey took over as our class representative in the Homecoming Court, and our float was voted the best. In October, the Red Sox went for their first championship in 68 years and in the true tradi- tion, gave it away in game six. Our Class President, Dana Tremblay, and the other officers organized our first class dance ... the semiformal. It was a great success and a preview for the next year’s prom. Spirit Week? Well, just wait until next year. As our sophomore year came to a close, we started thinking about the future. We had to raise money and start organizing our Junior Prom. We were excited about our Junior Year and finally being ‘““Upperclassmen.”’
