Overland stood out from other schoolsg it was nuncommonf, The sports programs did well, with a state championship for the varsity girls, volleyball team and city championships for both the boys, and girls, swim teams. Some unusual plays per- formed at the school were '6Antigone,,' Noises Off! and West Side Storyf, The students had to adjust to the new cafete- ria and study centers, but that was easily accom- plished. As the school year became routine, memories were made to be cherished. Initi- ations, friends, good times and bad, assemblies and senior pranks were memories held forever inside the minds of the students. Homecoming, Winterfest, Prom, and the fi- nale of graduation were common, yet uncom- mon events of the year. Graduation, for the first time in the history of the school, was held at Stutler Bowl instead of the traditional Boettcher Hall, to accommodate the larger size of the graduating class. We are the first class to start the tradition of graduation at Stutler Bowl,', said Sr. Richard Joslin, It makes us unique. The seniors were ready to graduate and the underclasses were looking forward to entering a grade higher. And as the last days of school came about and yearbooks were signed and finals were taken, the senior class said goodbye while the class of '88 waited for their turn to try to make their year a lasting memory. 7 C py J ct Stifflcar L y t: Lcslic Moroyc Uncommon 2 8 3
