Keeping up with the hundreds of telephone calls that are made each month is no problem for Mrs. Jeannie Hawks. Bookkeeping comes easily after lots of practice. From the Minor to the Extreme Problems Exist, But Prove to Be NO PROBLEM Problems. Everyone had problems, right? Of course problems ranged from the minor to the extreme. For seniors, the rewards after the problems were many. The first row of the student parking lot was reserved for the class of ’88, as well as smoking area privileges. The senior play was viewed by many to be the best student pro¬ duction ever given. However, the prob¬ lems and gripes did arise with upper¬ classmen who were complaining about the new absentee call-home policy, the loss of the “senior picture” in the back of the yearbook, and arguments over class statistics. Although seniors could repeatedly be heard saying, “Why are the class colors blue and white?” the class realized that when the year was over, their entire high school careers were over also. With that thought in mind, the class joined to¬ gether to overcome the many obstacles of the final year and were given the ultimate reward — graduation. No problem. For the underclassmen, challenges were created and met including the Jun¬ ior Class’ search for an awesome prom theme, the sophomores’ attempt to de¬ stroy the driving range before obtaining their licenses, and the subfreshmen’s and freshmen’s attempts to simply sur¬ vive and become a part of the active high school life. Students were rewarded with a beautiful gym on an April night, the little cards with plastic covers that gave freedom to drive, and friendships that would last a lifetime. No problem. With no problem at all, students chose goals and reached them. Whether the goal was a date with a special person, a new car, or a college scholarship, stu¬ dents chose not to dwell on these present stumbling blocks, but to look forward to the accomplished dream. No problem. MB’! IH 19(11 Summer breeze. Tamika Brown and Julie Reynolds find a slight breeze between the open door in the library and the fan that is blowing high speed. Opening n t)

No problem. So the tardy policy changed, challenging students to become even more responsible in getting to class on time. So the smoking regulations prohibited all but seniors the “privilege.” No problem, be cause changes meant progression, improvement, growth. And without growth, there would be stag¬ nation. So changes were expected. They came as no surprise. But, no problem. The students adapted with ease and an under¬ standing that more changes would take place as the years passed. They knew all along. Changes happen. No problem. Since the arrival of the movie, Witchboard, sales of the once popular Ouija board have increased. During weekend leisure time, Leon Simmons and Jay Young toy with the board in an attempt to test its ability. Finding something to do is no problem for Senior Jimmy Cockram and his friends. Local parks with basketball courts are an attraction for many students. While on their way to an assembly, seniors take advantage of their upperclass status to monopolize the space in the courtyard. During the back-to-school assembly, seniors were allowed to parade around the gymnasium so that they may be identified by the remainder of the student body. Student Life Divider 5
