Finishing out the year In Grand Style This year’s seniors were true beach bumsl The class of '88 spent five days together in Florida, and they loved every minute of it. They left on March 26 dur- ing spring break. Their first day consisted of the water slides at Wet-N-Wild. Disney- land was the special event for day two. Day three was spent at Epcot Center. The day that everyone looked forward to was day four at Daytona Beach. Everyone soaked up those Florida rays for that spe- cial tan that they could sport back to old DHS. The last day was left for the seniors to choose as they wished. This event certainly made memories that the seniors will treasure forever. Senior Den- ise Peruski said that the best thing that she liked about the senior trip was: Being togeth- er with all my friends because it was our last time together. But the senior trip lead to another special event for the senior class. That event was the junior-senior prom, which was held on April 16 in the high school gym. The prom’s theme was In My Dreams.” The juniors went all out to create a special set- ting for one of the senior’s last events together as a class. Ju- nior Gail Roggenbuck said this about her class’s work on the prom: Working on the prom was a lot of hard work, but fun work. When I walked in the gym on Saturday night. I knew it was worth it.

A HAPPY GRADUATEI Senior Buddy McEachin has a smile for his class- THE LAST HURRAH! These 1988 gradu- mates after receiving his diploma. ates show their joy on finally making Photo by Louise Walker. it! Photo by Louise Walker. Seniors are ready to graduate and to get On With Their Lives Graduation is something that is awaited for by all sen- iors. Seniors just can't seem to wait until graduation day so that they can be out of high school for goodl Although the seniors will be glad to be out of high school, there will be things that will be missed by them. By far, friends are what the seniors will miss the most. This is what senior Michele Slater has to say about leaving DHS: ’Til miss all my friends in younger classes, all those crazy lunch hours, sports, cer- tain teachers, and all those crowded halls.” Along with missing their friends, seniors said they would also miss skip days and, of course, high school secre- tary Judy Bowerman. Senior Cindy Raines had this to say: I will miss the talks with Judy, but the things I'll miss most are the kids I've gone through school with for thirteen years.” Graduation is a time for ev- eryone to say good-bye to the seniors as a group and is a last lime the senior class is togeth- er. Although there will be some things that will be missed, the seniors of 1988 are glad that they are finally graduating and getting on with their lives. Irene Falcon 20 -
