HERE WE ARE In the following weeks and over the summer there were many class parties ranging from Roman toga to 50 ' s dancing. We still may have been juniors but it was a good start to the senior spirit that was to come. Summer may have been over but we had pre- pared well and were all set on the first day of school to continue with a theme that would last through out the year, Hawaiian beach party! Next came Booster Week, where our class won the spirit award at the pep rally for being the loudest with our own little cheer! We continued the week and our Booster King and Queen, Craig Bradford and Sara Edney won for selling the most tickets to the Saturday football game. That night our first dance was held with a new twist, our very own Chris D ' Errico and Jason Debatista as D.J. ' s! They were a great success and we danced non-stop to all our favorite songs. This was just the beginning of our senior activities but we never let up and as time went on our spirit grew. Excitement grew towards the end of our junior year at the prospect of summer and our senior year to come, we began to draw together and start orga- nizing activities to show-off our Sr. spirit. Our first priority was the traditional taking over the Sr. balcony accompanied by Sr. breakfast. We all woke up earlier, so that we could journey down to Abdow ' s and have breakfast together. Then at twen- ty to eight we began our noisy procession through town which ended on the Sr. balcony, now officially ours. Even though we all have our own special groups of friends, at times through these four years we have bonded together as a class. 1988 was no exception and this spirit took on a new look, our unique brand of senior spirit.

A Black and White Affair Done Class of ' 88 Style I woke up at 10:30 a.m. and realized two things. 1 ) Today is the Prom and 2) I still have no money, no gas in the car, and no tux. By noon I ' m on the road. I stop to get my tux and see all the other guys that have put off getting theirs until May 16 also. After making a quick stop at the Sunoco station and the Baybank machine, I return home by 2:45. Feeling confident, I watch T.V., and by 4:00 I ' m in the shower. By 4:30, feeling less confident, my mother is helping me with my stupid bow-tie and cumberbund, the ridiculous belt your date makes you order in pink so it will match her dress. Thinking I ' m finally ready, I check everything — tickets, money, and then it dawns on me. Yes, I forgot the flowers. So, I jump in the car, and I ' m at the florist in a new world record. I arrive at my date ' s house by 5:05, but of course I have to sit there until 5:30 in my tux, because when it comes to girls: even when I ' m late, they ' re later. It ' s 5:05, and the doorbell just rang. My date is here, and my hair is in rollers, my dress still on the hanger, and my strapless is nowhere to be found. Mom hops upstairs, while Dad shoots the usual Nice to meet you; where are you going after the dance? at my poor date. I can almost hear him downstairs fidgeting with his bow tie and cummer- bund. Mom helps out by telling me to hurry up, while dancing around the room as if she were going to the prom herself. After the usual embarrassing pinning of the flow- er and flash of cameras, we ' re off in my date ' s beat- up, old Chevy. Well, I suppose he at least gassed it up. We boogied to Big Talk ' s big hits, cuddled under dimmed lights and bouquets of balloons, and sipped cocktails of Coke and Sprite. The court was selected from the usual parade of weary, danced-out couples by the band. The lucky girls squealed with delight, while the rest of us admired and congratulated them. But the moment could not last forever, and we all went our separate ways, to a party or home, depend- ing on the curfews laid down by our parents, but only ti ll we regrouped for our excursion to Hampton the next morning. 13
