Senior Class History In September, 1976, the class of 1988 began their twelve trying years of school plus kindergarten. Of the original class 18 remain. They are: Cindy Carskadon, John Collins, Chris Downs, P. K. Feldkamp, Tracy Fryer, Beth Gaus, Tricia Hardin, Roger Hetzler, Michael Levengood, W. G. Lewis, Jeff Murphy, Tonya Otto, Krissie Penn, Andy Schroeder, Sara Small, Robbie Sullens, Steve Uhlmeyer, and Wendy Wilson. The A.M. Kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Kae Parker and the P.M. teacher was Mrs. Predmore. In first grade we were joined by Billy Childress, Candace Jacobs, Brenda McCloy, Naomi Schork, Billy Wells, and David Woodworth. Our teachers were Mrs. McBride and Mrs. Ann Parker. In second grade the new arrivals were Scott Bridgeman, Mike Dunaway, and Rick Simmons. Our teachers were Mrs. Tower and Mrs. Kolthoff. The third grade brought us Doug Green, Kevin Scheufele, Melissa and Michelle Schuetz, and Chad Zahn. Our teachers were Mrs. Walter and Mrs. Krueger. We skimmed through fourth grade with the help of Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Lewis. Jimmy Crenshaw was our only arrival in the fifth grade. This was a big step for some of us because we had four teachers: Mrs. Tripp, Mrs. McCutchan, Mrs. Dorris and Mr. Aldridge. The sixth grade brought us Devra Buckwalter, Sean Cooper, Stephen Nelson, and Eric Voss. We kept the same teachers. Then we had another big step going into seventh grade, Junior High, because we had seven teachers, which were Mr. Berry, Mrs. Dennison, Mrs. Schryver, and others. Our new classmates were Teresa Hedges and Renee Sherwood. We zipped through eighth grade with the same teachers. Finally we reached High School and became lowly Freshmen but we made it. We also made it through our Sophomore year. It was a lot easier because we weren't freshmen anymore. Our Junior year brought around Magazine Sales which raised money for Prom. The theme was Tender Years. Our only new arrival was James Parrish. During our year as ruling Seniors we sold oranges and grapefruit to earn money for our Senior Trip to Chicago. Our sponsors were Miss Moore, Mr. Lillard, Mr. Rusk, and Miss Gladbach. This year Traci White and Missy Brooks came to our school. Our class size is now 42. Why did I get up here? I'm afraid of heights!” Eric Voss 5
