The dividends realized are usually commensurate to the investment. Those, who invest little, receive a low yield, whereas, those who are active, knowledgeable participants, enjoy a substantial return. Being successful in the field of education is frequently more dependent on attitudinal factors than natural ability This is why the necessity for parental X student involvement in both curricular and extracurricular concerns during all of the students' high school years is stressed. It is believed that those who get more involved in school activities likewise experience a more positive attitude that enhances a better academic performance. The eleventh grade class has been exposed to tutelage throughout this year that will enable them to have an extremely rewarding and successful senior year. Additionally the skills they have acquired, and will continue to acquire at Pontiac Central Senior High School, will allow each student to be competitive in the job market and posses a confidence that is vitally essential in the world of work. I consider it a privilege to have worked with this class and sincerely hope that my role has been one of allowing each Junior to grow into the mature, responsible, young adult they have the potential of becoming. This year, as in all my previous years as an educator, I base all my efforts on the belief there can be no better investment than that which we put into our youth to- day

I have found that the responsibil- ities that are given each class for annual activities: Planning Homecoming Week . . . Homecoming Week All School Elections . . . The Homecoming Parade and Dance, are usually planned, experienced, and successful. These tasks are not as easy as they sound. The time and effort expended, many times go unappreciated because everything usually works out. The rewards come in the form of the positive attitude and the excitement exhibited by the student body during this time. After these exciting events took place, the leadership and planning had to continue, and time was 'growing short.' N ow we had to plan for our Senior Announcements, Senior Trip, and our Senior pictures. QQuick now how many times did you listen or read the announcements concerning the MANY DEADLIN ES that had to be met.J Remember how patient, and under- standing I was when you gathered enough courage to walk into the 12th grade office and ask about deadlines that had passed weeks ago. Such is the life of a Senior Class Principal. Sympathy should also be considered for Mrs. Laster, 12th Grade Secretary As we planned these activities for our last year, we could have never completed the above tasks without the committees that were willing and able to finalize what had to be done. We should never forget the input, guidance and counseling of Mrs. Phillips, Class of '86 Sponsor. As our last year comes to a happy close, I am suddenly aware that each class, though similar in many ways, has its own identity and uniqueness. When you were Freshman, you chose the motto, Spirit and Spunk, A Perfect Mix, We're the Class of '86. The determination and fortitude exhibited this year with some changes and cancellations would have discouraged a lesser class of young people. You did carry on . . . you let your voices be heard . . . you went on record. I commend you. The ingredients of Spirit and Spunk were in fact, A Perfect Mix. You surely and without question are very unique. There is only one Class of '86!

Russell Tenth Grade Principal - , 2 .a lt ,,, , 1 fs The academic achievement and perfect attendance record established by the great Class of '88 is exciting. Many of you have shown that you are concerned about your future, and are willing to make sacrifices to achieve excellence. You are commended for the fine showing on the first marking period honor rolls. Not only are you listed on the Principal's all A Honor Roll, but eighty of you comprise the three-point and above honor roll. Perfect attendance by one hundred fif- ty-four of you showed that you were ready to assume responsibility In subsequent marking periods, numbers will increase because you believe in yourselves. Class President Brett McGee, Vice President Lloyd Tyson, Secretary Annjell Williams, and Treasurer Iac Mansour worked diligently to provide strong leadership. Good luck and keep in mind that, You Make a Difference in Reaching for Excellence. is A, ,,, ....,........,a..-.,. -.
