NEVER BEFORE have you been privy to the excitement and special tlmes of the 1987-88 school year. When thlnking ot a theme tor this yearbook, we discarded many themes which were generic in nature but never cap- tured the definite connotation of the year 1988. When it was decided to go with the theme lsn't this Special, the intent was not to make a mockery of our Christian heritage or to pralse the church lady who appears on Saturday Night Llve, but rather to pick a phrase from this year which will stir up mem- ories every time lt is brought to mind. Whether you like the church lady or passionately disagree wlth everything associated with her, she ls nevertheless a definite part of the 1988 school year. Phrases such as lsn't that Special, and How Conveeee- nlent, even 20 years from now, will bring a flood of memories into your mind as you recall a Saturday evening ln front of the televlslon or a tllppant remark made in your calculus class or any memory which is dear to your heart. Special, according to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, means: tty distinguished by some unusu- al qualityg esp: being in some way superior i2t held in particular esteem Q31 readily distinguishable from others of the same category 141 being other than usual. Each year is filled with many memories which make every year new. Llvlng is a constant learning experience. As we grow and mature, years start to run together unless we have a unique char- acteristic which distlngulshes one from another. We feel that lsn't this Special ls such a phrase to break this year out ot the pack and make it stand alone with the unrepeatable pranks, midnight food runs, classes, parties, and memories which we tried to capture ln this book. Sit back, relax and enjoy the special year, 1 .. by Kyle Kapphahn
