SfacntMUf ta 'rtyeavea “Pilot to Tower we’re going down.” This message was followed by an immediate crash which introduced the 51 1988 Seni- ors to Heaven’s Gates. The program found Bill Denton and Mike Lowder serving as Admissions Officers at Heaven’s Gates. White columns in front of a multi-colored rainbow set the stage as Barbi Moore read the class history. Tracy Johnston next read the will succeeded by Sheilia Harder re- citing the class poem. Adorned in appro- priate costume, prophecies ranged from Rick Cannon getting kidnapped by a tribe of women to Dennis Stockstill’s being on in- ternational model, from Barbie Moore as a World Champion mud wrestler to Julie Winn as a mother saying, “Eight is is Enough!” Luckily a report came in stating that all 51 had survived the crash and their futures were intact. The program commenced with the usual awards and scholarship pres- entation with the primary highlight being class president Bill Denton presenting a memorial plaque to retiring senior teacher and sponsor, Geraldine Burns. “I am com- pletely overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and generosity by the students as well as the colleagues,” sadly commented Mrs. Burns.

WHICH SIDE? Scott Morris and Ray Price fix their tassels. T. Coffey At. 7:30 p.m. on May 20 seniors begin gathering for the big event. “This year has gone by so fast. I can’t believe I’m grad- uating tonight,” exclaimed Jerry French. The grand opening of Pomp and Cir- cumstance overwhelmed the seniors. The crowd stood as they marched in two by two, step by step. When every senior stood before his chair, the heavy chord of the piano signaled them to sit down. “I was so nervous. I just knew I'd sit down before everyone else or trip when I walked across stage,” said Molly Bromlow. Throughout speeches from the valedic- torian Scott Church and the salutatorian Reshawn Parker seniors and their parents sat nervously fanning themselves with the evening’s programs. All too soon it was time to stand and become a graduate. One at a time, each senior walked across the stage as a student and stepped off as an alumni of Fairview High School. M. Bennett FINAL FAREWELL! Sherri Platter gives a grateful hug to Mrs. Burns. T. Coffey
