OAi£WTYSUPPl,ES Drinks When in Doubt.. PARTY! With Mrs. King and Mrs. Allison as sponsors, it isn't hard to believe that the Class of '88 was always doing something. We probably had more fund Raisers than any senior class in Deming's history; pizza party dances, the womanless beauty pageant, a carwash, the list goes on without end. Of course, while work has its rewards, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And we did play. We always found something to celebrate, and it never took very long. If all else failed, we could always celebrate the day of the week. What, it's Tuesday ... Every special occasion demanded a classy social at the Allison residence. The class also experienced the rewards of Christmas caroling at Mrs. King's house, then shared by a special foreign friend. And the '87 Prom? Never Say Goodbye was a smash, out-classed by none. Our senior year brought with it much more than just hanging around. Grad Nite at King's Island was the perfect example of what we could do when we put our minds to something. In the spirit of all of the food we have fixed for other people over the years, we finally decided it was time to serve ourselves; and we did just that with a Senior Cookout at the ballpark the day after prom. With everything we did, one would begin to wonder how much time we actually spent in the classroom. Even with our advanced knowledge of mathematical concepts, we couldn't begin to calculate that. We did take every available opportunity to enhance the educational process, even if it reauired acts of generosity to suspicious chemistry teachers. Clever? No, just a heavy case of senioritis.

Senor Trip '88 April 8, 5:40 PM — It's almost here. 5:42 — Luggage nearly loaded. 5:45 — Signs displaying VJhen in Doubt... PARTY!” theme put on bus. 5:47 — Tension mounts. 5:49 — Traditional picture taken in front of bus; no major injuries. 5:52r— Board bus. 5:55 — ”1 can't get out of the @ $% bathroom!” 5:56 — Where's my golf clubs?” 5:57 — No Billy Reese, you can't drive!” 5:58 — Come on mom, get off the bus!” 5:59 — All the work of the last 4 years is about to pay off. 6:00 — WE'RE OUT A' HERE!” Our itinerary included the usual Florida tour: Disney World, EPCOT, Silver Springs, and Daytona. Of course, every trip has its own special moments to remember, or forget. We all recall that one person had terrible trouble with flies, and another had sleeping problems. Even though the Daytona wind practically blew a door off its hinges, that ocean breeze wasn't too strong to be enjoyed with only the bare essentials. However, the climate may have been unfavorable for some Tonk players. Of course, responsible seniors recalled that this was to be an educational trip of some sort, and spent time practicing advanced mathematics and conserving water. With all the excitement and things to do, there was hardly time for some to go to the bathroom. On a more serious note, the Class of '88 came back from Florida with much more than a collection of bad jokes; we returned with great memories that will last a lifetime, from the moment we pulled out Friday evening, to the journey home which caught Mrs. King with shaving cream in hand. Well, everybody is entitled to a little fun, especially on their birthday. Home, Sweet Home?” Of course.
