raduation 1988 On Sunday, May 29, 1988, 620 Rebels graduated at the Tarrant County Convention Center. By: Gini Kimball There is a time in every high school senioris life when he or she thinks, This is it - l've finally made it! On Sunday, May 29, 1988, 620 members of the twenty- seventh graduating class of Rich- land High felt that same feeling. From the moment caps and gowns were delivered and announcements arrived, the graduation buzz was in the air. The feeling that a section of your life was coming to an end was the uniting factor among us all. However, when Sunday actually came and everyone arrived: rela- tives, friends and graduating sen- iors, we were ready to put that one foot forward and take another big leap toward adulthood.

Most of all, it was a time to begin anew and to live for the future, for that was our destiny.
