A Year of Promise Rising to the Occasion Decatur Central has shown its desire to Rise Above the Rest for the 1987-1988 school year. Homecoming ' 87 was on overall success with seniors Brian Har- rington and Amy Asher reigning over the evening, as King and Queen. The spirit for this school year has been running rampant. The 1500 students, teachers, and administrators have pulled together to keep Decatur ' s standards rising. Teach- er, Mrs. Donna Duhamel said This is a year of promise, good things are here — but there are many more on the ho- rizon. The Senior class has organized many successful activities. Decatur ' s Class of ' 88 has been valiantly trying to say goodbye in the best way possible. Senior Sandhi Ahern said, The class is really unified this year — not just a group of seniors, but a class united. Despite the various problems Decatur has risen above other schools this year, if not in actual scores then in the desire to do well. Be it in football games, soccer games, musicals, speech meets, swim meets, choir contests, whatever, Decatur standards have risen, and will continue to do so. Thanks to the new attitude of De- catur students, club enrollment has in- creased, extracurricular activities were attended, and crowd participation has been phenomenal. Senior Bill Thompson, new at Decatur said, I was surprised when I first came here at how well the people knew each other. But not too well, everyone was very friendly and readily accepted me. I ' m glad I came to Decatur. Hopefully this shows Decatur ' s willingness to accept new things — and improve upon them. Throughout the 1987-1988 school year, students and faculty have displayed again and again their desire to keep Rising Above the Rest. The Senior tree stands high above the rest. It is a tradition at D.C. for the senior dass to paint the tree. Members of the Senior class helped cheer at the Powder Puff game. The Senior class rose above the Junior class with a score of 24 to 20. Opening 3
