The Class of 1988 Jolly, Jolly, Juniors ... The class of 88 worked hard and strived for the best this year. They accomplished many things including the annual candy sale and the organizing of the prom. Juniors worked hard in making the best of everything, both athletically and academically. They are just one step from becoming mighty seniors and meeting the joys of P.O.D. Sometimes, being a Junior isn't easy.

With their junior year coming up, they are excited about being able to take the wonderful classes of chemistry with Mr. Gregory and English with Mr. Sankey. Also, they are one year closer to graduation! The Class of 1990 ... . Freshmen attend The ninth grade year brings forth new aspirations of anticipation. These lackadaisical miniatures of adults must now break away from their bonds of immaturity and face the real world. A year of experiencing mental and physical elongation which leads to the true shape of their lives. A bit of advice — never lose touch with reality. Take heart.
