A Special Tribute To Fallen Friends Each year, tragedy strikes rhe halls of DHS. This year we dedicate these pages to two of our fellow classmates, Lola May Sheldon. Each day these two special people will be remembered by their families, teachers, and friends. There were those of us who did nor know them personally, but we will also grieve for them. Hopefully, we will remember the happy times that touched us in a special way, not the sad. In May, the Student Council h eld a memorial ceremony in honor of Lola May Sheldon and Laura Miller. Their names were added to the plaque in the Memorial Garden. This dedication continues as we remember the seven astronouts that lost their lives in the Challenger tragedy. The members of the crew were Commander Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Christa McAuliffe, Ellison Onizuka, Ronald McNain, pilot Michael Smith, and Gregory Jarvis. This mission was special because a teacher, and everyday citizen, was involved. Christa McAuliffe, the teacher in space, was the first citizen astronaut. Commander Dick Scobee said to her, Missions keep go- ing up every month, but the teacher in space is unique. You ' re rhe reason we ' ll be remembered. She as well as rhe six crew members were an inspirarion to our notion. As Christa told her social studies class, the col- lective contributions of unsung citizens — like you and me — give history its shape. On February 25, the Student Council held a memorial ceremony in honor of rhe Challenger crew. Seven pine rrees were planted in the grassy area berween rhe parking lots in remembrance of the crew. Lola May Sheldon, Laura Miller, and rhe Challenger crew will always be remembered by family, srudents, reachers, and friends rhroughout the nation and at DHS. ft ) t-V.-tv . - • It The Americon Flog stands nexr to one of the pine trees that wos planted in honor of the Challenger crew Seven trees were planted in the grassy oreo between the school porking lots.
