 A Long Days Journey into Night Once the 2:15 bell rings Spaulding stu- dents head for jobs, fun, or home. Spaulding students can be found at checkout counters frantically pushing buttons or flipping whoppers on a hot grill, or piling crates of frozen peaches at Grand Union or Finest. Those students who do not prefer the blue collar life can be found sipping a coke and prodding a double cheeseburger at McDonalds or in the spring lining up at the sweet shop for ice cream or milkshakes. Homebodies turn up the stereo, slip into something comfortable, say shorts and a cut-off, and raid the refrigerator, with the help usually of several friends. Whether it's shopping for records, eat- ing, or waiting around for practice to begin, Spaulding students always find something to do between 2:15 and the onset of darkness.

A Coaches Point of View As the seniors expected, our powder puff team steamrolled the juniors, 28-0. In Spaulding High School Powder Puff football only the strong survive. No, the game isn't on the evening news, or even in Novo's Notebook, but the importance of beating the juniors is a sacred tradi- tion. The duty of coaching the girls falls on the senior football players, so the rivalry runs between the guys as well. There is a distinct formula for a win- ning powder puff team: mellow prac- tices. This included standing around, complaining about the cold, and once in a while lining up and running a few plays. But when the day arrived the girls assured us that the juniors would die and their prediction came true. The girls proved their mettle and kept the junior stomping tradition alive. Clockwise from Upper Left Kim Quinlan rounds the corner. Kim led a strong senior ground game Sandy Gillis meets senior Liso Babic for no gain.

A Summer at Bob's Sunoco I was an irresponsible 17-year old who had never worked a day in my life. Feel- ing somewhat dejected, I looked for a job. I used my irrepressible wit and per- suasion to land a job at Bob's Sunoco. The job was explained as cleaning up and painting. I couldn't understand why on the first day the mechanics stared at me with pity in their eyes, but I soon learned the cause of their sympathy. Practically everything at this haven for oil collectors and people who get-off on gas had to be painted Colonial Ivory a.k.a. sort of yellow. I also weed-whacked a hillside of genet- ically superior grass that was almost like a miniature glass shard collection. You know what that means when that weed whacker shoots grass on your legs. All in all the job was okay; it was better than sticking a fork in your eye. Clockwise from Upper Left The 2:15 bell has rung and students are heading for work or home. Burger King, a favorite eating and working places for Spaulding students. Chris Lamphere in search of fun. Harry's, a frequent stop for SHS students. Kathy Murdoch and Tim Garibaldi working the night shift at Grand Union. Outside of SHS 19
