In Memory Of Pamela Ann Shipley . | Remember Pam... She was always full of excitement and made eveything a lot of fun. | guess that’s why | liked to be with her so much. We went so many =| places together — the summer at the beach and many ballgames. But Pam and | could have fun doing anything. Just riding around town was a ball. | recall a day we were riding through Cumberland last year. | had stopped at a red light when all of a sudden, sirens started screaming and lights started flashing. Police cars went flying past us. Pam was thrilled. She shouted, ‘‘Follow that cop car!’’ So we did. When we got to the place, we couldn't see anything but cops and flashing lights. Pam had me driving around the block three times. We followed cars, an ambulance, everything, asking everyone on the street what had happened. No one seemed to know, and it was not until much later that we heard on the news that there had been a robbery and one man was shot. That was sad, but I'll never forget that day. Pam and | were caught up in the excitment and she loved it. She was an exciting person, full of fun, and my best friend. Melody Evans

P ) w Principal's and Vice-Principal’s Messages While watching our coaches tape players before an upcoming game, | noticed a poster on the bulletin board in which Snoopy said, ‘‘It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose — until you lose.’ With this in mind, | urge each of you to evaluate yourself in turn by reaching the goals that you seek. The heights of success can only be reached by climbing an intelligently organized ladder. Climbing this ladder is usually a slow process which must be started with the conditioning step. We must condition our general motor ability, mental, emotional and psychological abilities. The ability to select, develop, and apply your skills in these areas will be a determining factor in whether you win or lose in accomplishing your goals. Donald H. Knotts As we conclude the second year of Frankfort’s operation, we can reflect upon the cooperative effort of our faculty, staff, and student body. It is with mutual respect that | commend those outstanding educators, students, and a most generous community that have cooperated to make our short history so outstanding. | believe the spirit of the Falcons will continue to enhance our heritage, and | am most grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of Frankfort High School's growth.

In Memory Of Henry Rush Williams = riank When | was younger, | looked for something all people look for. | was looking for a friend. You know, someone you could talk to. | mean tell everything. Somewhat a counterpart, Something needed to fill the heart. And as most do, | did, | found a friend. ; And as it went on and on and we talked and rapped, No one would ever think it would end. And though he was my counterpart, He was a lot of others’ too. He had something to do with everything and anything. He was always there with his many faces; He was always there to fill the empty spaces. But tell me now. Did you ever wonder if there was a reason why he had to go... You and | can’t say; only God knows. Steve Knotts 4 Tmeriee? ) My} Bee RS har Asege ® fe os th Po gif hee pes = tae Bore
