Mamie Bevan President Peggy Thomas Secretary We, the class of 1988, completed this year of Chippewa Control. We were the Big Chippewas and we ruled the village. Several changes had occureed during both our years in the C-wing. Last year, the annoying class bells had finally rung their last tune. This year, we were the first eighth graders to re- ceive mechanical drawing. One final adjustment we'll have to make soon is the giant step into senior high school, where we’ll be back on the bottom again. We, the class of 1989, completed the Chippewa Challenge. We were new to this school and were controlled by our elders. They set the tone for our school year. The only thing that we had that they never had was half a year of French or Spanish for our top two classes. Next year we’ll be filling their shoes. We, as the junior high students of the “C-wing village” had it made. We were our own bosses and we functioned apart from the senior high in many ways. These would include having our own student council, newspaper (The Chippewa Chat), cheerleaders, and sports program-including basketball, soccer, hockey, and lacrosse. We also held a special Christmas Dance. Being a Chippewa was also a sort of a drag. Several rules were enforced for us that the senior high doesn’t have to endure, such as having hall monitors, having to wear a gym suit, and having all of our classes already planned. However, we’ll never see times like these first two formative years of pre-high school. Both classes have donated a banner from our Christmas Dance to this time capsule.
