Your four years of high school ended on May 29, in a warm but dignified and impressive graduation ceremony. The parties, the gifts — the joy and the tears, are all in the past now, and a bright, challenging future lies ahead. What will that future bring? Thirty-four of fifty classmates are going on to college, seven to trade schools, three to the military, four are going immediately to the workforce, and three have yet to make a commitment. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will always be the class of 1987 — the class will never end! And whatever the future holds for you, we hope it brings you happiness and satisfaction.

Though there wasn’t much hoopla and there wasn’t much fuss. The years of girls’ basketball shall continue but we’ll always remember the first Because you four girls have gone through the good times and definitely the worst. We started a girls’ basketball program here, and now four years are done. We really enjoyed you girls, and ... we hope that you had some fun.
