For many of us, real life began at two o'clock. Once that bell rang to dismiss us from our last class, the buses departed and the parking lots emptied, we sought a different type of enlightenment — out of school. Whether it be catching a sports event, going to Young Life, or just hanging out with friends, we were never at a loss for fun. And it's not because we're the smartest or coolest, or the best looking; it's simply because we're Oh, So Classy. While visiting the Old Country, members of the class of 1988, Courtney Conover, Jonathan Har- rell, John Fox, Laurie Thompson, Jason Cowell, and Lea Anne Rickard spend time in Italy.

WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER Juniors Look Forward with Confidence It was a night of sheer bliss. Months of prepara- tion and anticipation were now coming to an end. Couples filed into the Sheri- dan Hotel looking their best. It was grand. Music reverberated from every corner of the dimly- lighted hall. The dance floor was packed with students dancing to the beat of the Top 40 music. Clusters of people gathered to compli- ment others on their appearance, as well as to ex- plain how successful their dinner arrangements had turned out. Then the cere- mony began. Couples lined the walls of the hall await- ing their turn to receive their rings. For those who attended, it was a definite climax in their years at Cox. Not only were rings wrapped around their fingers, but also the hope of a successful Senior year, graduation and future. ♦ 1 -is Ab Leigh lloCaluater and John Curry go to receive her ring, they pause underneath the archway.
