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 -

West German student visits DHS From Across The Seas Who's the new student? Well, this year Deckerville was able to have a visitor from an- other country. Senior Alex Sott, an exchange student from West Germany, came to live and experience United States right here in Decker- ville! Alex adapted very quickly to the American style of living and learning. Sophomore Adam Wendt confirms this by saying, Alex really blends in well. He is a very nice ex- change student, and I'm glad he came to Deckerville. Alex enjoys tennis as a hob- by. In the area of school activ- ities Alex was a member of the J.V. basketball team and a member of the varsity boys track team. Regarding his stay in Deck- erville Alex said. I really like the people, and I've had plenty of things to do. I’m enjoying my stay in the U.S.” Alex is staying with Dr. Ron Miller’s family here at Decker- ville.
