DEDICATION TO THE ACADEMY STUDENTS We. the 1988 Graduating Class of Academy High School, dedicate our Yearbook to a cherished friend who has passed on. A friend whose physical presence we shall recall with love. We remember clearly now how anxious we were as freshmen. Mew school, new teachers, new classmates, unfa- miliar procedures and a cavernous environment all contributed to feelings of uneasiness and disquiet. It took us several tours of the building to locate the gym and library. Where's the cafeteria? was an often heard battle cry of freshmen faces. The ultimate identifying freshman emblem, however, was the segregated seating arrangement at assembly programs. But we endured and eventually became absorbed and involved in the family of Academy High School. As sophomores our familiarity and sense of belonging grew more secure. Football rallies provided us a closer proximity with upper classmen. There were those moments, however, when uncertainty crept up again. Do I dare ask that special someone to the Homecoming Dance? Will I ever make it through geometry? When we returned to Academy to begin our junior year it was as if we came home from a longjourney. Familiar faces provided a warm glow in which to bask in the pride of having entered the upper class stage of our High School careers. Teachers seemed almost like friends, and friends of the last two years were more like brothers and sisters. The junior year was not however, without its challenges. Preparations for the SAT were demand- ing; honor and AP classes were more challenging; the Prom and Homecoming Dance more exciting — Boy did we look goodll The junior year, with it's great flurry of activity tied the chords of friendship into an even tighter and more unified family we now recognized as the Academy Student Body. Our Senior year began with both anxiety and anticipation; we were looking forward to completing four years of hard work and receiving a well earned diploma, but we were also just a little bit concerned about what the future had to offer. After all, we could barely remember a life without school. The most alarming consequences of graduation were all the goodbyes we would have to make to teachers, administrators, counselors, office workers, and most difficult of all. to friends. And oh yes that one friend, the friend who had passed on and out of our lives, that special friend who made us feel comfortable and secure, the friend that housed our family for these last four years, to you Academy High School, we say our final goodbyes. You have passed on from our lives, but will be remembered always with love.
