Senior Nights Seniors Honored For Participation Three times during the year, Neshannock takes the opportunity to honor those seniors who have participated in activities surrounding the football and basketball seasons. This year, many seniors were pointed out for their contributions to the success of both seasons. On Friday, October 30, prior to the final home game of the 1987 football season, approximately 50 members of the Class of 1988 were honored for their participation on the football team, on the cheerleading squad and in the band and auxiliary corps. Later in the year, on Monday, February 15, two members of the Girl’s Basketball team were honored for their contributions to the team. The following evening, 13 members of the Boy’s Basketball team and the cheerleaders were honored as senior members. The 1988 Lance Staff salutes these seniors as well for their time and effort in these activities. 18 Senior Nights

 For It's First Year, The Home-coming Dance Was A Success And I Enjoyed ItI” Phil Bretton And “Highway 61” Rocks Neshannock At The Homecoming Dance Cathy Cunningham, Junior Attendant One of Neshannock’s own played his favorite brand of rock and roll music for the Homecoming Dance crowd this year. Phil Bretton had always wanted to play at a school dance, so when Student Council decided to have a band for the dance, Phil’s band, “Highway 61” was a logical choice. The band is made of Phil and his brothers, and marked the last time that their bass player, Walter Fortner, would be playing with them. All members are alumni of Neshannock High School. At the dance, the band played tunes ranging from Springsteen to oldies to some slow songs that the band learned just for this dance. The sounds made for an even more enjoyable evening for everyone, and helped to make the Homecoming Dance a success. Homecoming Dance 17

Senior Night Is A Special Time For Both The Senior And His Or Her Parents. Amy Rentz and her parents show the pride exuded by all participants during Senior Night. Other Seniors Go Unrecognized, But Are Not Forgotten While many of the members of the Class of 1988 were recognized for their efforts during one of the Senior Nights, some prominent members of the class went through the year without the same type of special recognition. For this reason, a special salute goes out to all of the members of the Class of 1988 who participated in the following activities: Tennis, Baseball, Track and Field, Golf, Cross Country, Pep Band, Volleyball, Student Council, Class Officers and All Those involved with other activities at N.H.S.
