Special Holidays and Special Friends Vacation time is party time for New Haven students Cod made holidays for New Haven students. Many holidays throughout the school year provided much-need- ed breaks for students. Holidays during the summer added those extra special events, such as the Fourth of July and Memorial Day. Traditional activities for the Fourth of July included going to the annual fireworks at the Coliseum, or maybe going to the lake. Although the holidays during the summer allowed al- most everyone to take off work, the holidays during the school year were more appreciated because of the time off from school. The most awaited-for break of the year had to be Christmas vacation. Two weeks of freedom helped ease the pain Although a large part of the Christmas spirit is giving, senior Melissa Davis shows that receiving is almost just as fun as senior Melissa Drews waits for her turn.

Students participated in many activities with the families over break. Sometimes this was not exactly the most enjoyable part of vacation. I had to put up with old people go- ing on and on about how we were growing up so fast, and how big we were getting. But overall, it was alright since I haven ' t seen some of my rela- tives for so long, commented junior Deb Stoller. Even though much of Christmas break was spent with the family. New Year ' s Eve was the time to celebrate with friends. The days of babysitting were over for most New Haven stu- dents. Other holidays during the school year did not provide days off from school, but students still had fun with them. Halloween, Valentine ' s Day, and St. Patrick ' s Day all added a bit of zest to the normal everyday routine of school. Although not all holidays were vaca- tion days, most students enjoyed them because they were something different and out of the ordinary. I love holidays because I get to see people I haven ' t seen in such a long time. It ' s also great to get friends to- gether and really party, stated senior Gretta Childress. — Michelle Geller pholo by Michelle Clements Halloween just happened to fall on the day tha was designated to be Senior Blow-Off Day.

Juniors Take On Prom Preparation for Prom ' 87 opened new responsibilities and challenges to juniors ONE FINANCIAL SERVICE The results of all the prom prepara- tions adds were greatly appreciated by the couples who attended the prom, but few knew of the hard work and dedication that went into it. Fundraisers were already being held during the Class of ' 88 ' s sophomore year, and the class also sold magazines the following year to raise the money that was needed. At the beginning of last year, the class officers had meetings to organize committees, which did dif- ferent jobs, and to select committee chairpeople. Every Thursday, the class officers and committee chairpeople met to consid- er future plans and confirm plans al- ready made. The juniors worked hard up to the very end, until the final meet- ing at the Downtown Holiday Inn on the big day to decorate. As Missie Dager, treasurer of the junior class said, We didn ' t know how it was going to turn out until that night. The preparations for prom didn ' t stop with planning, selling, and deco- rating done by the juniors. The individ- uals attending Prom prepared in their own ways. Months before April 25, girls began shopping for the perfect dress and matching accessories. Guys picked up their tuxes and made plans for after prom. On April 25, the day of the prom, pains were taken by girls and guys alike to look their very best. Sophomore Lynn Brooks commented, I started getting ready at two-thirty, and when Mike came at five o ' clock, I wasn ' t even dressed yet. Some things didn ' t run as smoothly as had been hoped, admitted junior Kim Balogh, co-chairperson of the tick- et committee. In preparation for prom, if more students had volun- teered and attended committee meet- ings, we could have had more help in deciding on the plans for decorations, glasses, napkins, etc. However, most felt the preparation, planning and wor- rying that went into Prom ' 87 was well worth it. — Kaylene Riemen Decorations add to the atmosphere of prom.
