Wakenight iDemembering all of the good times Class Night ’88 opened up with ceremony. Schol- arships were presented to seniors in academic and extra-curricular areas. Recipients of the Bill Holt Scholarship were Sara Reichert and Jason Devine. Winners of the Steve Wasielewski Memorial Scholarship were Jenni- fer Labonte and Jason De- vine. Jason commented. “It was such an honor to win even one of the scholarships, but to win both is something I will never, ever forget!” Class Night got heated up as soon as the curtains opened and the seniors began singing their ver- sion of “Old Time Rock-n- Roll” by Bob Seager. Thev then cleared the stage for the skits to take over. Skits ranged in all areas from poking fun at teachers to singing to dancing. After half of the acts were completed, the tra- ditional slide show was presented to the audi- ence. Included in the show was a mixture of pictures taken through- out the year from Home- coming, Spirit Festival, classrooms, dances, and pictures taken during class night rehearsals. As sad songs played in the background, fond memo- ries filled most of the au- diences’ eyes with tears. After a short intermis- sion. the seniors contin- ued to entertain until the end came near. They piled up onto the stage once again to sing their Class Night ’88 song and to express to the crowd of friends and fam- ily that they were ready to take on the future that lies ahead for them. 28 Class Night

Wakenight EHEARSING an event to remember As the weeks of school came to a close, seniors fled to the Marshall Mid- dle School to begin prep- aration on Class Night ’88. Their first job was to think up creative skits based on past high school experiences, friendships, and funny memories. Se- nior Matt Davis com- mented, “The hardest part was coming up with skits that would make ev- eryone laugh.” As skits were thought up, they had to be pre- sented to senior sponsor, Mr. Brian Burns. Fillers then had to be prepared for the purpose of enter- taining while the stage was being cleared. Senior [ody Crull add- ed, “Class Night rehears- als take A LOT of work and A LOT of time, espe- cially when we still have exams to take, but it is really bringing our class together and we are all getting really close.” Also being worked on. during the weeks of prep- aration, was the tradi- tional slide show. This ar- ray of pictures taken throughout the year and during rehearsals was prepared by Sara Rei- chert and Ted Hayes. Senior Todd Turner commented, “The slide show brings back a lot of memories and I know it will be emotional when it’s shown to everyone. As late night rehearsals were completed, the se- niors had a show full of memories to present in the night to come. Class Night Prep. 27
