DEDICATION Ελ GORDON 5. MAYES We, the class of 1989, dedicate our yearbook to Gordon S. Mayes, our former princi- pal. Mr. Mayes we truly do appreciate all that you have done for us by trying to help us to understand that we were being cheated by the system. At times, some of us were disagreeable or even ungrateful, but you just slapped us on the back of the head and gave us the, Gordy Rule” - “Do it yourself fool Thanks we needed that! Whoever said that Joe Clark was an original must not have seen him taking notes from you. Some of us can't help but to believe that maybe you were taken away from us because you told us things that some would rather we not know. Now that we are about to take that step into the, “Cold, cruel world , we look at future students and shiver at the work that it will take for them to catch up. Thanks to your, “ТеШпа”, us, since our Sophomore year what was ahead, we used that time, some wisely some not so wisely. Yet we all love you! Thank you “Gordy” Ms. Shaketa Brown Vearbook Editor Class of 1989
