Class FRESHMEN (1978-1979) Beginning our freshman year was so exciting and a lot of fun, as we were finally in high school! The big take-off was Booster Day with Walt Disney as the theme. We were so rowdy at our first rally, and it seemed so wonderful to be able to sit in our own section of the gym. But our float was a total flop; that is, “Mickey Mouse’s” ears drooped so, that everyone thought he looked mor e like “Underdog”!!! Not only had we gotten off to a bad start in this way, but we lost our advisor, Mr. Tibbets, shortly after Booster Day. Luckily, Mrs. Dobson-Taggart became our new advisor to help us out the rest of the way. Wanting to build our treasury, we decided to raise money by putting on a spaghetti supper. We made quite a mess, but will never forget all of the fun we bad! However, this fundraiser did not prove to be a successful one, and we learned a few lessons along the way. As our freshman year drew to a close, we looked forward to our sophomore year with much more enthusiasm. Looking back, we realized that the year had been full of trials, and we soon learned that cooperation was the key to future success for our class as a whole. SOPHOMORES (1979-1980) Our sophomore year was finally here! We started it off by selling 1980 calendars and Christmas candles. However, we did not prove to be very great salespeople, and we became rather disappointed when our promising fundraiser failed. Booster Day’s theme was the Muppets for that year. At this particular rally, everyone was so ecstatic and full of enthusiasm that we even forgot how to spell s-o-p- h-o-m-o-r-e-s!!! How embarassing! Nevertheless, we were very determined to win the floatmaking contest. “Dr. Teeth” was an exceptional float, and we were so pleased when we learned that HE had taken third place. This was the first time throughout our history at Turners Falls High School that any of our so-called masterpieces had ever been a success! As the year progressed, we ordered our class rings; something we all had eagerly awaited. Despite their cost, due to the rising price of gold, they were very nice, and we were quite pleased with them. Looking ahead to our junior year, we attempted to raise more money and began making plans for our Junior Prom. Our spring car wash was a great success and a real blast! Finally, our sophomore year ended with mixed feelings. It was so hard to believe that we were already half way through our high school days and that we only had two years remaining at Turners Falls High School!!!
