NOT YET PERFECT Ms. Conklin tried her best to spark some enthusiasm into the class by having everyone stand. Half the class caught on while the other half re- mained seated. MOVING IN As the class of’88 shuffled around looking for their seats, Dante Var- rasso found one up front. Always dressed for the occasion, Dante straightened his tie. CONFUSED? NO WAY The senior class looked a little con- fused as everyone piled onto the bleachers. Class of 1988

i Class of 1988 25 PERFECT! nt hadn’t been done in the |K history of BHS. Leave it to class of ’88 to get it right. The class of ’88 looked great the forming of the tradition- senior picture, in June ’87. I A illiam Gaudreau replied, ‘We took a great picture- ..what else would you ex- )ect?” Kelli Talbot figured out the t. “The seats were taped the shape of 88 providing bveryone with a place to sit, |o our picture was perfect,’’ enthused. When the class was told to head outside for pictures to be taken, some kids were a bit hesitant. Large dark storm clouds were forming over the stands and the stadium. Just as the photo session ended the first sprinkles were dropping on everyone. No one wanted to get wet, let alone be struck by lightning. Tracy Cavan- augh remembered, “It was rainy, and I didn’t want to be there. I wanted to go home.’’ Stephen Medeiros recalled, just did it because it was there. I really didn’t think about it. I just went.” Kelli Talbot added, “I cared about our picture be- cause it was the class I’ve been with in school for the past twelve years.” Thanks to the efforts year- book editor-in-chief Frannie Pedersen and her crew of in- trepid tapers, the picture was the first in the history of graduating classes to come out picture perfect. FINALLY PERFECT Despite the initial confusion, the class of ’88 was able to pull it off and form two perfect eights. he
