-x., CHKQJLESQ fd, Lout- U LJ LUCI-ftdiof A Note From The Editors e the editors of the 1988 Athenian would like to pre- sent the 1988 yearbook to the student body of Sherman High School. As always, the production of the Athenian brought many head- aches, frustrations and temporary break-ups of friendships between staff members. Trying to think up a page design, writing the perfect story and choos- ing the best picture for the page was no easy task. Redrawing and think- ing up better ideas brought on head- aches and frustrations. Sometimes friendships went sour as staff mem- bers screamed and yelled at each other when things didn't go their way. As the book came close to com- pletion, all of the best thoughts and ideas were put to use. The head- aches disappeared and the frustra- tions were relieved. All friendships reunited when all ways were com- promised. As the end of the school year ap- proached, everyone had the chance to see what memories and creativity the Athenian staff put into the pro- duction of the 1988 Athenian.

The theme for the 1988 Athenian suggests something everyone wants to know what's the answer? Our high school years are spent trying to an- swer a myriad of questions. Should I take auto mechanics or home economics? How is the problem 2rCx+8yJ-3sCx+8yJ solved? Who am l going with to the dance next Friday night? What's the meaning of life? The quest for the answers to these questions, ranging from the trivial to the life-changing, have been chronicled in the 368 pages of the 1988 Athenian. Read each page carefully, examine the pictures closely and try to find WHAT'S THE ANSWER? ...

The Nlost Dreaded Week Of All Students Face A New Year . . . Again here is one week in the month between August and October that students try to avoid most. lt's full of moans and groans about what to wear, where to go and what to do. Ever- ybody tries to get out of this week by telling their morn they have a stomachache or by trying to con- vince her that they have some made-up disease hoping she will give some motherly sympathy and make them stay in bed. This week is familiar to everyone in the world. This week is the first week of school. No one wants to be present for the first week of school. Everyone thinks it's the worst week in his life and for some it might be. They got to school and found out their best friend had been moved to another homeroom and then they found out they would be hav- ing the meanest teacher for P.E. first period. They go to the cafete- ria to eat D lunch and realize that all of their friends eat A lunch and if things couldn't have gotten any worse, the sixth period algebra teacher assigned the first fifty problems for homework the first night. Every dark cloud does have a silver lining. Everyone kept at it and made new friends in home- room and at lunch. Those new to the school realized that Sherman High's halls are in the shape of one big H and everyone started getting used to the idea that sum- mer was over and that it would be On August 31, many students left the house for the last day of summer vacation. Some went shopping and some, went to the lake for their last day. back in nine months. The first week of school was an experience no one ever forgot no matter how well it ended.
