The Senior Class of 1985 will remember many things from this, their final year at Clover Hill High School. The beginning of the year was full of many changes and events such as Homecoming and the Powder Puff Game. In October, seniors had the responsibility of giving the Junior class a ring ceremony. Through the year seniors ordered por- traits, invitations, caps, gowns, and various other senior needs. The seniors also had fun with the prom, Senior Takeover Day, and Senior Skip Day. As graduation came closer, everyone felt both relief and fear about leaving high school. To make their lives more interesting, both May and June were busy months. There were last minute invitations to be sent to friends and relatives along with all those special events related to the end of school. First, there was the Senior Awards Assembly, where many received honors. Next, there was the Senior banquet where they took time to enjoy being seniors and remember the good times, as they listened to the Class History and the Prophecy. The Senior Superlatives and the winners of the Cutest Baby contests were announced. On the Sunday before graduation came the Baccalaureate, and then finally came the day that all students wait for, graduation. As the students left on June 12, 1985 to pursue their own lives, everyone thought back to their time at Clover Hill High School and knew they would never forget all the times they had shared.

The Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes par- ticipated in many of Clover Hill High School's activities Each group had something special that could be shared with their class The Juniors spent the majority of the year wishing they were Seniors, but there was a bright spot. The Seniors gave the Juniors a ring ceremony emphasizing the traditions of our school ring. As upperclassmen, they could now par- ticipate in such events as the Powder Puff Game and the Prom. The responsibility of the Juniors was to prepare the Prom. The Prom was paid for with money raised from Junior class dues and the sale of magazines and was a great suc- cess. Good Luck to the class of 1986 as they rise to their senior year! The biggest event in the Sophomore year was the privilege to get their driver's license. The Sophomores could also breathe a sigh of relief, because they were no longer Freshmen. Throughout the year the class enjoyed such events as Homecoming Week and pep rallies. During the year, they also ordered class rings, in anticipation of becoming upperclassmen There was a huge change in store for the class of 1988. When they first walked into Clover Hill High School, they ex- perienced a mixture of feelings. They were excited over be- ing in high school, and they were afraid of what the year held in store for them. Many would be taking exams for the first time, and some were taking harder classes. With the difficult times of high school came the good times, too. For the first time they were able to participate in Homecoming Week, the dance, Clover Hill pep rallies, and many clubs and sports. By the end of the year, they were ready to be Sophomores and ready to lose the name ‘‘ankle-biters. ’
