Talkabout an awesome tradition ...the Spaghetti Supper was a definite success this year. Lots of hard work, helpinghands, and planningwent into this event. The entire senior class unitedtogether, along with some help from Jamie Gillespie some parents and faculty,to put smileson those that came to filltheir bellies. There were two shifts a student could be placed in. The first one was requiredfor setting up and helpingduring the first few hours to get the Spaghetti Supper underway. Then, the second bunch came to relievethe first shift and wrap up the rest of the night. The whole class also attended Mass on Saturday. Numerous duties were in place to gaurentee satisfaction of the guests. Ticket taking, stocking salads/desserts, and tray carriers, is just to mention a few. "The Spaghetti Supper went Adam reallywell this year: We had a great turnout and I was impressed by the hard work of the 6r:a-Ad senior class," said Ms. Hagerman,first-year adviser. The theme this year, ClassicT.V., was also a huge hit. A guest could be walkingto his or her seat and easily run into a Brady Bunch,Flintstone, or PinkLady character. Other intriguingcostumes added enjoymentfor many of our guests.
