t£pl WCLUCAUCr CCHttWNlftW Our Faculty Made Their Wishes. Our teachers wish for scholars; we wish for good grades. Our teachers wish for stimulating class discussions; we wish to participate in the learn¬ ing process. Our teachers wish us to adhere to standards of excellence; we wish to stretch our minds to grow intellectually. Living and learning ... we wish to know ourselves better... we wish to understand the world around us more clearly ... we wish to mature, however painfully, into reflective, responsible adults. Our teachers wish that we will leave Wellesley High with the skills, the understanding, and the insights we need to live rewarding, fulfilling lives. We all wish the negative forces outside the classrooms did not exist — Proposition 2 V 2 , budget cuts, school closings, declining enroll¬ ment, teacher layoffs. What’s your wish for academic success? As you read on with us, whether you’re a teacher or a student, make your own private wish . .. BELOW: Ed Touhey wishes everyone gets accepted at Choice 1 .

Sharing lunch with friends ... (Erica Kapalis, Scott Herlihy) Where’s the party? (Jim Chambers, Jim McDevitt, Diane Doherty) What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies” — Aristotle Too hot to handle (Barry Davis, Laura Last, Taffy Zimbler) Brotherly and sisterly love. (Diane Silcott, Steve Silcott) Each year, as the senior class approaches graduation, the concept of friendship becomes important. On the surface, our years in high school are spent preparing for college or a career. However, a few of us students will remember our schoolwork as vividly as the friends we made. Memories of the experiences we shared during our three years at Wellesley will remain with us always. A unique bond exists between us that secures our friendships. Though it was scholastic endeavors that brought us together, it will be the support we gain through friends that will help us to succeed in life’s human relationships. No one can predict in which direction we the members of the class of 1981 will turn. When we do disperse, it is our wish that the strong ties to friends developed will continue to be an essential part of our being. 11
