Another big event was our class play WDon't Be Bashfuln starring some of our talented students. The Junior-Senior reception will be another event that will never be forgotten. And now as the year draws to a close, we, as a class are eagerly awaiting the most important occasion in the life of every high school student -- GRADUATION. To our teachers, we offer our thanks for their advice, guidance and untiring efforts in our behalf.
