Cunningham) A circle of friendship. Day by Day Although most kids claimed they lived for the week¬ ends, the school wee k, too, had its appeal. Relaxing between classes, a quick snack in the cafe, a few moments of intense cramming, a couple of hours of strenuous prac¬ tice, a music recital, attending meetings for a special pro¬ ject or upcoming event, or the perfecting of an in-class assignment were all common occurrences that filled the day of a Wellesley High School Student. Students whose activities were not school-centered still found enjoyment and employment at nearby gas stations, supermarkets or subshops. Creative personalities worked on Club ’79, the Senior Banquet and the Senior Movie. After-school rap ses¬ sions with teachers and with coaches were enjoyable, edu¬ cational and eliminated some of the existing barriers. Socializing with our friends, performing at what we did best; be it in music, drama, or athletics, making a little extra pocket money, or doing what came naturally” occu¬ pied many of our remaining hours. Why did it always seem that there was too much that we wanted or had to do and not enough time to do it? Lost sleep was a price we didn’t mind paying in order to do it all. Filming the footing.

Athletics: From the What was it about athletics that drew us to endure the agony of four-corner drilling, endless laps in a pool or around a track or the long work-outs at a wrestling prac¬ tice followed by the inability to munch out at home? There was an intense feeling of gratification that accom¬ panied the grueling physical exertion. The restriction of sitting quietly behind a desk could be counterbalanced by an invigorating sports session. In athletics, one could freely exhibit and release the pent- up italitx that had accumulated during a school day. For the multitude of students who found in sports a wel¬ come release, competition proved to be a keystone of enjoyment. Pride: the donning of the Red and White, both ath¬ letes and spectators experienced that feeling of warmth when the insignia and name of our school appeared on the shirts of a team or individual sportsman. A drive to attain the unattainable was born and nurtured. But by far the most enriching element of the season was the friends we made. The friendships often remained strong even after the memories of those glori¬ ous moments on the field began to wane.
