As we look back on the past year, we could see that everyone left his mark in one way or another. These marks took the form of memories, trophies and friends. The memories of 1987 were of good and bad times. Everyone rushed into the halls, yelling and shoving, to get to the lunch bus or to the snackbar to eat. Sometimes friends sat in class, talking and spreading gossip about “who's who or who did what in Douglass. There were times when we anticipated an upcoming game with excitement. As each year has passed, the senior's have graduated, leaving their marks in their friends' minds. Mostly the memories were of fun times and amusing bad habits. The seniors tended to pass on habits. Lunch card-Carol Bell and Shane Lovell Freshman hall-Lorie Lauderbaugh and Lesley Lunch-Delbert Howland, Ricky Gash, Chris Baldridge and Brad Bodine such as doing their homework at the last minute, competing to see who could make their orange drink cartons ' POP! the loudest, and skipping or being late for class. Underclassmen envied the seniors as they took off on their annual skip trip or as they walked through the ceremonies at graduation. Achievement marks from sports and clubs were left in the trophy cases. The trophies showed future students the determination and hard work done by the students of D.H.S. Each student worked for the ultimate mark of achievement, the receiving of a diploma. The sheets and sheets of grade cards accumulated into piles over the span of the year. Those students who were afraid of being unforgotten seemed to find ways of etching their names Miller or sayings permanently in various places in the school. As each day passed, we absorbed the atmosphere of friendship and routine. How could we ever forget the times when a friend would say Hi! only to find others were either all smiles when they were happy or glares when they were tired and grouchy. The memories of quiet classes on rainy days and everyone being hyper on warm sunny days will always be etched into our minds. In overview, the students of D.H.S. left a multitude of marks for the succeeding generations. The marks will never be forgotten by those who created the memories. 2
