Graduating from Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, Queens is simultaneously the sweetest and hardest goodbye to its' many alumnae. Without even realizing it, we were carried into the threshold of adulthood through hall ways inspired by St. Anne's Academy and Saint Marcellin Champagnat. A huge portion of AMHS touched each of our lives, but the silly little every day aspects can mean so much more, maybe these 15 ring a bell.
1. No Matter What Anyone Says, You Are A Stanner.
Calling all St. Anners! It's no secret that during Molloy days we thought our name was lame, but we all know we stood by it, and our Stanner Manner, proudly.
2. Doc's Cave.
Dougherty's room was the homeroom hub, cramped but cozy.
3. Trivia Fridays
We all remember what a trip to room 123 usually meant, detention. ( And it's Friday, ugh.) Have no fear though, answer one trivia question right and earn your ticket to freedom. (Thanks Shannon!)
4. "Sweating is Sexy!" - R.R.
Who else but the Rodge Man?
5. The Glass Booth. Enough Said.
The allotted destination to make phone calls? Yes; but more commonly known as the kick it spot for seniors during free periods.
6. You'll Remember Your ID Number Like The Back Of Your Hand.
12-314, how about you?
7. The Best Thing About Junior Year Was Getting A Top Locker.
With college preparation beginning to veer its head, SATs, ACTs, and taking physics and trigonometry in the same year; it felt really good to no longer have to squat to get your books.
8. "Even or Odd?"
It was a great feeling when one of your classmates asked where you were going, you responded "even side" ( or "odd side") & they knew exactly what you were talking about.
9. Senior Polos
Hands down the best perk of being a senior.
10. Spot a TA?
Unroll your skirt, throw out your gum, un-break your locker, and put on your lanyard. FAST.
11. Locker Checks Were Every Upperclassmen's Worse Nightmare.
The pink slip of paper that fell out of your broken locker meant business.
12. The Freshman Backpack Epidemic Was Real.
At one point or another during our first year at Molloy, each of us rocked the freshman backpack. And each year after, we swear they got bigger and bigger with every new class.
13. Spirit Week Was The Biggest Deal.
14. Stay Stanner, Stanner High.
Thank you Liam Moyles for your lovely trademark sign off during morning announcements.
15. Dear Esopus: At first I was a part of you, then you became a part of me.
Whether your first experience was at freshman camp, a retreat, the special camps, or your senior encounter; this beautiful place is special to many and a home to, too many more.
