GRADUATIO 1987 A cold day with warm memories As the year concluded the class of 1987's high school career's ended. The seniors had many memories of each year, but especially of their senior year. The senate went out of their way to give the seniors something special, by sponsoring Senior Week. This week included such events as a Freshman Slave Day, where the highest sale was made by james Thome and Melanie Simmons in their purchase of Chris Thome for 332. The week was concluded with the Senior Breakfast on Fri- day, May 1. The humorous awards were awarded that morning and the slides from Kodak Kapers, which had been taken the previous week, were shown. Some of those awarded werezjon Bartlett - Most Likely to become President, Lance French - Most Likely to Succeed, David Wanser - Class Clown, David Lane and Lora Plank for male and female Class Flirts. H The senior breakfast had a casual atmosphere, where the seniors could get together and have a good time, but the Senior Awards night was a time to congratulate the more seerious accom- plishments. Numerous scholarships and special awards were given out to those who had put forth a special effort academically and otherwise throughout their high school careers. These special events all led up to one main event - GRADUATION. The seniors finished their finals one week before graduation, which left one busy week before the big day. What a busy week it was! The week was filled with pre-graduation parties, and if you weren't attending one of those, you were planning your own post-graduation party! The Valedictorians for the class of 1987 were: Elizabeth Young, john Lang, Mike MacAdams, Michelle Dortignac, Kent Bradford and David Lloyd. The salutatorian was Stephanie Matsuura. Each of these people and the rest of the calss of 1987 will have fond memories of high school and their graduation at Red Rocks. 14 Graduation efgyw fx , la Wa Z ff W. . if fy e fo..

No, it wasn't a slumber party, it was the musical, The Pajama Game. As in many years past, the music and theater departments put on a spring musical, and this year it was the second time The Pajama Game had been done. Playing to the packed crowd for 6 night time shows and one matinee were a cast of over 70 talented students. These students were selected from a field of over 100 people who tried out, making the competition difficult. These dedi- cated cast and crew members spent nearly three months rehearsing every day, and putting up with Mr. Simmons constantly yelling, Project Whimp! This year Mr. Simmons, the director, was as- sisted by Sybil Micco, and student director, Barb Amberg. Other people deserving recognition were Sharon Wright, for choreography, Rex Nel- son, for directing the orchestra, and Steve Mein- inger for his choral assistance. The cast worked hard and put on an excellent show for the audience, but it couldn't have been done without the strong leadership of some of the seniors. Some particularly outstanding perfor- mances were given by Tony O'Donnell, in his role as Sid, Steve Staley, as Hines, and a surprising Mae, played by Kristi Collotzi. They made it all seem like the real thing, a contract dispute in a pajama factory, a quest for true love between Sid and Babe, the constant fighting of Hines and Gladys, and Mr. Hassler trying to be a good boss for his overworked and underpaid factory work- ers. Lets hope that in years to come there will be casts of characters that can match the skill and professionalism of the cast of this year's Pajama Game.
