Wet and cold, but still backing our Bulldogs are seniors Jenny Meier and Melissa Davis. Unfa- vorable weather often goes hand-in-hand with football, and this season was no exception. The Dogs went on to beat Southside 22-14. Under the leadership of Direc- tor Mark Best, Majorettes Lei Bcardsley, and Beth Hugenard, the band had a very successful season. Concentrating on her every move Lei directs the band during a football halftime show.

Being a freshman, I was new to the school, and unfamiliar with all the people, there were so many I ' d never seen before. Kim Doudt sophomore. It was this attitude that would lead most of the sophomores to a successful year! Being only a few steps away from that final senior year was a thought inbedded in the minds of many ju- niors. Now upper- classman, and most able to drive, many new and exciting op- portunities awaited them. Many juniors anxiously awaited for spring, and the ju- nior-senior prom that they had been plan- ning for a long time. Being an upperclass- man had many advan- tages, but not with out added responsi- bility. Now, being in the second half of their high school ca- reers, the class of ' 88 had to help the se- niors set a good ex- ample for the rest of the school. Realizing that this year was their last time for many things, the senior class didn ' t miss a trick. From playing tricks on the freshmens first day, to playing their last ath- letic event or per- forming in their last play as a student of New Haven, the se- niors found a way to leave their mark. Many seniors had mixed emotions about their final year of high school. What each person was thinking we ' ll never know, but wouldn ' t you like to? Even with each class having its own style, and differences, the students pulled together to make the year the best it could be, because — they knew! 3 Opening 5 W

However, as summer drew to a close a number of cottages were locked up as many students were kept busy with their fall sport practices.

Those students who were not in a fall sport found them- selves busy with other activities like the fall play You Can ' t Take it With You. Homecoming week brought even more work with powder puff, the banners, floats, and parade. Homecoming brought on a lot of additional work because, besides my usual after school activities, I worked on the banner every day until late in the afternoon, stated Debbie Manns.
