All work and no play makes a dull Senior! The New Athens High School class of 1987 began their final year with very high expectations, and hopes, of what their senior year would bring. Their minds were filled with exciting thoughts of graduation; and at the same time, they were filled with thoughts of an end to an era to which they may never return. The class of ’87 looked back upon their high school days; starting out as “nobodies” in their freshman year, and progressing through class rings, driver’s licenses, and proms, before finally reaching the graduation they had worked so hard to get to. The class of ’87 met the challenges of high school and was then forced to take on the responsibilities of the future. Today, they have gone their separate ways, to see what life outside of high school holds in store for them, but they will always be able to look back to those times of joy, learning, and friendships that will remain always.
