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.

MAKE MY DAY Clint Eastwood all over his room made it easy to discover who Steve Medeiros idolized. The posters were priceless to Steve. LICENSE Proud of being able to drive, Joanne Parsley held up her license. The smile on her face told the story. A license meant the freedom to come and go without depending on others for a ride.

Kevin also prized his hand painted t-shirts for his band, “Regime of Death.” CORVETTE Emily Downing leaned on the hood of a shiny new ‘vette. Most wished they could own one just like it.
