enior inner The first event of Seniors Week was held on Thursday May 22nd. This year a dinner was held instead of the usual breakfast or luncheon. A crowd of 550, including parents and teachers, showed up to honor the Class of '86. It was an evening of last-minute looks, thank-yous and attempts to encapsulate three long years into funny skits and fond speeches. The dinner was held in the Sal Lombardi cafeteria which was decorated for the occasion. The meal was our last one at Waltham High, but it turned out to be the best one ever. The reason was simple it was catered. After entertainment by our award-winning Show Choir and a few short skits it was time for presenting all the awards. The first speaker was our athletic director, Mr. Don Prohovich with the announcement of the Outstanding Athlete's Awards. The Kenneth L. Harding Award for the Outstanding Male Athlete was presented to Jeff Lazaro. The Louise Sewall Award for the Outstanding Female Athlete was presented to Pam Vaughan. The receipients were presented with a -gulf! trophy and an engraved watch. Sue Sliney and MaryJo Bazarian were honored for their contributions to the school with the Student CouncilfStudent Involvement award. Brenda Woodland was presented with the first annual Jack Delaney award for excellence in yearbook design. The award, a plaque and an engraved watch, was presented by Denise Deveaux the 1980 Editor-In-Chief. The evening was brought to a close by our housemaster, Mr. John Graceffa. His closing words to the class were You are the trend-setters. You found the spirit. We've become a spirited school, and you set the pace. THE HARDINC AND THE SEWAU.

enior rom The chandelier which lit the hallway' of Lombardo's in Randolph was only a minor indication what the night would bring for the members of Waltham High Schoolls Class of '86, Sometime before 7:00pm, hordes of Chauffer-driven Cadillacs, Lincolns, and Sevilles crowded the parking lot of Lombardo's. Just as elegant were the prom-goers inside of them. Once inside Lombardo's, people gathered in the lobby. Some couples waited patiently for friends to arrive while others waited in line for photographs. A vast array of colorful gowns was fr , apparent in the lobby. The colors ranging from the traditional white and pink to the metallic gold and silver. The styles of gowns were also different. Some girls chose full length Southern Belle gowns while others opted for the contemporary tea length. The attire of the young men also varied. Some men chose tuxedos with tail along with a hat and cane and others chose Busboy tuxedos from the Dynasty collection. All men were either in black, gray, or white yet the color of their cumberbunds and boutinieres were as brightly colored as their date's gowns. Soon dinner was announced and the six hundred plus individuals sat down to enjoy a dinner of salad, ziti, prime rib, baked 4 - potato,and peas. Entertainment for the night was provided by The Entertainer . PR5TTY 'N 3lU5'S Deanna Monaco and The more outgoing people began dancing he' date Dave Pamalone directly after dinner while the timid ones waited until the dance floor became crowded. Many couples only participated in the slow ballards yet the Fred Astaire's and Ginger Roger's of Waltham High School found pleasure in bopping to Morris Day's The Bird . After much hard work and decision making by the staff at Lombardo's, the three finalist for Prom queen were chosen. Sharon Gailius was crowned Queen and her attendents were Alicia Keefe and Alanna Juliano. Their proud escorts for the evening were respectively Gerry Finnerty, Rod O'Byrne, and Mark Crowley. The Night eventually drew to a end and the prom song Tender Love was played for the last time. As we look back and reminisce over the excitement and fun we shared at the prom we can truly say it was A Night To Remember . O.K.
