DEDICATION JAY DUMAS, 1984 To Jay Dumas: We will think of you. You touched our school in many ways. Countless things remind us: the swift soccer player who scores on a breakaway, or turns a shot with quick dispatch...the lightening guard who leads the fast break, or scores with a deadly jump shot...the clutch hitter who pumps his bat and then lines the game winning single...the outfielder who makes a spectacular catch... The boy in the front row at All-State chorus who smiles and sings with great enthusiasm...the actor in a musical with great comic timing and the way with a song to make us all feel happy... The trivia whiz in Scholars for Dollars...the intuitive inventor in Olympics of the Mind...the swinging trombone player in the dance band...the high school kid who does volunteer work for the community...they all remind us of you. Most of al1... there's the carefree walk, the easy smile, the corny jokes, and the way you befriended us all. We see you in the gym, on the athletic fields, on the stage making us laugh, at the fire station, in the church singing in the choir... You are at all of those places...in spirit, and in our hearts. JAY AND CARLENE 2

YEARBOOK STAFF In a matter of days my classmates and I will be leaving here, taking all of the memories in this book. Although we will all probably return here and there we will never quite belong as we do now. Whenever we get homesick, admit it or not we all will, all we have to do is take out our yearbook, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, it was a lot of hard work, but we did it! The yearbook is done. I hope that everyone who reads this book enjoys it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. I'd like to thank the teachers for their cooperation and Heidi and John for their time and effort in getting some terrific photos. To next year's seniors, I hope yours looks as good as ours. (Good luck Dee!) To all underclassman: putting a yearbook together takes a lot of time and hardwork. It brings back many memories of the time we spend in school. Work together, not apart, to make the process of putting your yearbook together a memorable one. The levels of professional ism, maturity, dedication and talent displayed by this yearbook Staff were outstanding. The experience we all had was a marvelous learning and pleasurable one. It will become a fond memory for me, as I hope it will be for all of the Staff, the Seniors, and the readers of this 1987 yearbook. 0)tCJLLLXj Ed itor Treasurer
