Freshmen set first taste of high school Charolette and Sarah Currier are serving themselves at the Home Ec I classes' foreign food luncheon for their mothers. Class officers include vice-president Terry Holland, president Joel Kruse and Gretchen Gross secretary- treasurer. Many exciting events filled the class of 1988’s first year of high school. Jeremy Groce won first prize for his costume as a woman on Masquerade Day. His get-up, complete with a dress, wig and curves, was so convincing that he even attracted whistles and suffered from pinches. The freshmen even managed to keep classes fun and event- ful. Eric Christopherson, affec- tionately known as CRUD, came to the rescue of the Algebra I class when they were locked out of the room by crawling through the window to open the door. Other fun was had in typing class. When the students didn't have their fingers flying across the keys, it's rumored that they munched on M M's. Although the freshmen had fun, there was a time for learning and homework. The Home Ec class gained practical homemaking skills by cooking various foods and sewing gym bags. Diligent research was in order as the students worked on projects such as volcanoes and talking birds for the science fair.
