It was fun and I- en- joyed getting ' pulled into the mud. Next year I think that they should put something morejnteresting in the mud. — B en Tsen 11th Grade Irish Week was the most spirited week we ' ve ever had. I think that we should always have the Raft Race be- cause I feel it was the biggest attraction. — Ari Chung 11th Grade It ' s pretty cooi. — Dana Luttrop 9th Gra ' dp V s ff With His Hair! The most exciting and fun-filled five days of Kennedy ' s com- memorative year oc- curred during the week of March 13-17. Irish Week symbolized a time for all students to come together in school spirit, have fun, and help others. Com- bining it with the Unit- ed Way Fund Drive, Dr. Stephenson added an interesting angle: He would have his head shaved if the stu- dent body raised at least $1,989! Monday was PJ-D) Day. Students wore their jammies, and a DJ entertained at lunch as a Pie-in-the-Face contest thrilled specta- tors. Tuesday, Western Day, saw Irish cowboys and cowgirls moseying around campus, and some attempted the Hi- Ho Horsey Hop at lunch. Surfers ruled on Thursday, which was dubbed Dude . . . I ' ts Beach Bummin ' Day! The pool deck was crammed with stu- dents in sunglasses, vi- sors, tank-tops, and shorts watching the Raft Relay. Green and Gold Day ended the festive week on Friday, and a new event cli- £ maxed the week — an Irish Karnival. Many clubs and activities sponsored booths to sell food or lure stu- dents to try their luck and skill at various games. The climax of the Karnival, as well as the entire week and the United Way Fund Drive, had to be the moment when Ms. Swindell carefully shaved off Dr. Ste- phenson ' s hair, for the proud Irish had raised a total of $3,305.52! 22 rish W ek w ▲▲ Faced by the possibility of a dip in a pit of muddy water, the cheer- leaders Patty Borem, Lisa Haxton, Shelly Guitierrez and Mitzi Ujiie are the first to go in when they lose to drill team. ▲ By the end of Irish Week, the Irish had raised over $3000 for the United Way Fund — more than twice as much as the total for the previous year.

■ Put your best foot forward, for there ' s no looking back now. For four years we grew and, as seniors, we were finally given the recognition due to us. Some of the times we experienced we ' d never forget — both good and bad. We left a legacy, as the class of ' 89, that would never be forgotten. We were the class that started the tradi- tions of the lip-sync contest and Senior Week. We accomplished all we could in our little world of high school dances, first jobs, and that someone special. Then it was time to step out into the big, bad world and show what we really had learned. It was scary yet exciting, a little like your first kiss or your first spin in your very own car. It was hard to believe, yet very real. The college rush drove some of us up the wall, and looking back, we laughed at some of the things we thought and stressed out about. But it was hard not to get caught up in all of the excitement of your senior year. It seemed like a whirlwind of a year. Senior skate-nights, senior parking spaces, the senior circle, and wearing your class ring right side facing out — yeah, it was well worth the wait. To all those who follow us: Take your time and enjoy things while they ' re there. Don ' t keep saying I can ' t wait till I get out of here; I wish it were over now. Before you know it, it will all be gone. No matter what we may say, deep down, inside, we know that these were some of the best years of our lives. Thank You, JFK, from the ultimate seniors. vaVe a 76e ZMtc 4 Seniors
