Yeah . . . That ' s the ticket! Well, we thought it was anyway. The yearbook staff had great difficulty choosing a theme, but after many discussions, our final decision based on popular vote was That ' s the ticket! We were excited to get started; we couldn ' t have been happier . . . but something was wrong. It was you, the student body. Somehow, the theme didn ' t fit. Your expressions of in- dividuality through style, intellect and potential pro- ved to us That ' s the Ticket was simply an understatement. It classified you as typical and trendy; it put you in a family of I ' d rather be ' s and I wanna be ' s. It limited and label- ed and pushed you into a stereotype. It described only a small percentage who were passing through a phase at that moment. You deserved better. The yearbook staff had another discussion and took a closer look at what we wanted to capture. We decided it was not only high school life but also student life. It was not only classes that were pro- vided but also the people who taught those classes. It was not only sports but the dedication and sup- port you gave to those sports. It was not only the environment but also the participation and involve- ment of our community. We knew whatever we chose, it had to be just a little bit more, and so we made it bigger. We knew it had to be ' 87, and so we graduated from blue and white to bright colors. We knew it had to be you, and so we made it just a little bit. . . Surrounded by the beautiful fall scenery, Jennifer Epiey and Janet Eger trek to class.

1987... Oh, what a year! What a sizzling summer . . . what an eccentric fall . . . What a whimsical winter, topped off with that sassy spring . . . Definitely a year of style! ... .1 You dressed in those upbeat colors beyond just blue and white ... , , , Colors used to define that particular mood of ex- citement that only you clared to radiate. What classic taste! What pizzaz! . . . Positively a year of change. You grew, you learned, you had some tun. You took those steps to success and came out number one. What a high!. . .What a hoot!... Exuberantly a year of firsts: first car, first date. First restriction because you were late. You got your license and the right to vote. Those first tardies, those first parties . . . What memories! . . . What fun! ... Absolutely a year of decision: whether to stay out late or to study for that test ... Whether to strive for the best or just coast along. What movie to see . . . what college to pick . . . It was all up to you. What choices! . . . What demands! . . . You made it the year it was ... a little zany, a little wild ... . ,, , ,, And maybe just a little off the wall. What a year! by Tracy Hicks Self-expression. With his jaw set in first gear, Junior Mike Carlisle states his personality through his own particular sense of style. Introduction ' s
