tyfi 0' about the Class of ’88? Working for June 6, their big day! The Class of ’88 has been through a lot of things together, such as all the fund raisers in which they took part, all the floats they did for homecoming, and especially the putting on of the Junior- Senior Prom. Despite all this, the most important thing was what they were preparing to go through on June 6, 1988: graduation. However, before they could graduate they had to do such things as get senior portraits taken, pass each class with at least a 70% and pass all the required state competencies. Many things have happened to the senior class over the last 12 years. They’ve gone from having two recesses a day in first grade to having two research papers a year due in twelfth grade; from show and tell in front of the class for fun to telling all you know about something in front of the class for a grade. However, throughout all of this the seniors have stuck together and have proved they’re a great class. We know when they leave MHS in June they will succeed in what they wish to achieve in life, and show that indeed there is life after MHS 8

 about MHS changes? the “Hellos” and “Goodbof MHS ’88 Two changes that we considered “Goodbyes” were the revoking of students’ priviledge to smoke on the school grounds and the selling of candy in school. As stated in the Student Handbook, “On July 1, 1987 the Appoquinimink School District prohibited the possessing, using, dispensing or selling of any tobacco products on school grounds,” and in August the selling of candy in school was prohibited also. Some people didn’t mind the “no smoking” rule because they could now go out on the breezeway and get some fresh air, but others had their nicotine fits and felt that it was wrong for the administration not to allow them to smoke outside the school building. The candy issue wasn’t as controversial as the “no smoking ban, but it too caused some talk. The school store staff spent a few days brainstorming about how to replace the candy items which they used to sell. However new product lines began to appear, and soon students only barely remembered that candy was ever sold in the store. The Hellos” this year were the addition of one administrator, two new faculty members, and two new staff members. Mr. Freeman Williams wasn’t new to our school this year, but he did start a new job as Vice Principal. Mrs. Alison Matsen joined the faculty staff from St. Marks; she is now teaching French and German classes. Miss Stephanie Meyers came to us from Lake Forest; she is presently teaching biology and physical science. Mrs. Jami Weil is our new librarian, and she has come to us by way of Delaware State Library. Mr. Peacock is our new “A-K Guidance counselor, he comes to us with a M.Ed. in counseling. Welcome and good luck to all. 10
