f)u4t f (?ctt t iue By Tammy Perry We chose this year's theme A Cut Above The Rest” for more than one reason. One of the reasons was because of the eliminations due to the budget cuts. A lot of elective classes were cut out this year because there wasn't enough money. Another reason we chose this theme is because it describes the kids who go to SCHS. We. as well as the administration, think that ev- eryone in this school is A Cut Above The Rest. The theme also deals with how we the yearbook staff feel about this year's yearbook. We think it’s one of the better books that this school has put out. It’s A Cut Above all the others. Having had several budget cuts this school year posed tough decisions for the administra- tion and board. More funding problems are antic- ipated in the future as well, affecting various sports next year. Though these cuts affect us all, SCHS stu- dents are still a cut” above other schools be- cause of various athletic and academic feats. We’re proud of what we have. We carried the theme through the I98S Sale- marion with a slice” or slash through important pages and a slick blue theme color. Cuts won't effect the pride we have in our school. Theme'S

(yaiitup 4«ut (Zoitty Out By Tammy Perry Freshman Orientation 1987 was May 19th. This was a chance for the incoming class to get to know the school while they were still 8th graders. The event, coordinated each spring by guidance counselor Flarold Woodruff, was followed on the 22nd by a dance for the 8th graders. Vari- ous programs were held during the day including a per- sonal tour by specially selected group leaders made up of Sophomores and Juniors. Seniors held a workshop af- ter lunch. Graduation: a formal farewell for students, sending them into the real world. The 186 students of the recently graduating class of 1987 were surveyed this year by Jean Warlow of the guidance department. She found that 30% are working. 50% are continuing their education, and 8% entered the military. Fourteen were unemployed, six were homemakers, and only 2 did not respond. The num- ber entering the work force is up from previous years and the number continuing their education has dropped slightly. Graduation 7
