Time To Reflect And Reminisce Not knowing quite what to expect from Senior Retreat, members of the class of '87 came through with one hundred percent participation and unparalled excitement. This was the first senior class to have everyone attend. The group began its weekend at 12:45 pm on Sunday, November 3, when everyone anxiously got his things packed and loaded the bus. Although slightly off schedule, the class had to come through with one hundred percent, so they waited for Kelli Stegall to get back from the hospital. Determined that she was not going to miss Retreat, Kelli finally arrived and boarded the bus, crutches and all. They arrived at Camp Hardtner late that afternoon pleasantly surprised with the cool weather and beautiful camp. After being assigned to their cabins and putting their things away, most headed to the lake for a late afternoon canoe ride. While some were canoeing, others were off exploring trails to see what else Camp Hardtner had to offer. The nature hikes and canoe rides were ended with the sunset and a bell that was rung for dinner. Dinner was decent pretty much what everyone expected it to be. After dinner everyone separated into discussion groups of about 10 seniors who would work together for the remainder of the retreat. During the next two days these groups met and discussed many things about themselves and others. The groups gave you 8o Senior Retreat a chance to think about things in life that you otherwise never really thought about, said Aurelia Falk, and most people seemed to feel the same way. During free time, seniors enjoyed canoeing, playing volleyball or playing touch football. The last night of Senior Retreat found the class gathered around a bonfire, cooking 'smores and singing good ole camp songs led by Father Ray. This really seemed to unite the senior class and everyone apparently enjoyed it immensely. It made me realize how close we all are and how soon graduation will be here, said Kristin Dickerson. The next morning. Father Hancock led a Eucharist which seemed to tie the whole weekend together. Then everyone boarded the bus for the interesting ride home. While on the way home, Mr. Bosse's bus attempted to overtake Fr. Ray's bus; Someone on Fr. Ray's bus obviously didn't approve of this, however, and decided to moon the other bus. Mr. Bosse saw the perpetrator and quickly slowed down to avoid the unpleasant incident. Tired but enriched, the group arrived back at EHS about 2:45 and unpacked the van. Everybody went home with a sense of knowing members of the senior class much better and knowing themselves a little more. It gave me a chance to know people that I don't get to talk to on a regular basis, commented Terry Shubkin. Despite the rule about no horseplay in the canoes, Chris Jaqucs still managed to fall” into the water getting himself soaking wet. Heather Oulton, Kathleen Weldon, and Terry Shubkin anxiously wait for an empty canoe on the first afternoon of retreat.

Senior Follies Prove A Fun End The Class of 87 was allowed to report to campus about noon on May 1 for Senior Follies Day. While they were waiting for the crawfish, the Seniors had a water fight with balloons, guns, cups, and anything else that would hold water. Many switched uniforms with their classmates. Seeing Carlos Finalet and Brian Fenn in girls' jumpers was really hysterical. Next came the ripping of the uniforms. Fortunately, everyone had other clothes underneath. At about 1:30, the crawfish was finally ready. With the help of some of the faculty an staff that were free at that time, the seniors polished off the crawfish in about thirty minutes. As Mrs. Stuckey reflects after having about ten seniors dump water on her, It was great and a good idea, especially since it was kept away from everyone else. At seventh hour, the day came to a close as the rest of the school piled into the chapel to watch the skit prepared by the seniors. They pretended that they were at their twenty-year reunion, reminiscing about old times. They remembered Mr. Brown, played by Parker Ewing, Coach Coco, played by Michael Carpenter, Father Ray, played by Eric Koehler, Mr. Robinson, played by Heather Fcicrabend, and Father Hancock, played by Brian Kron-enberger. They then proceeded to roast the Class of 88 with Carlos Finalet, as Jim Douglas, leading an eighty-eight chant. Judging from the laughter, it was apparent that everyone enjoyed the roast. It was a fun-filled day for the Class of 87 to end their high school career with.
