The top Senior in ad sales was Monica Van Pelt. Tyrone Billings was second and Yvonne Suarez, third. Others who also sold a substantial number of ads were Jo-Anne Horton. Annetta Davis, Cushella Johnson, Paula Gray, May Lee. Joanne Pringle. Emma Branch. La trice Kitchen, Nicole Prather, and Yulanda Cheeks. We thank these people, other Seniors who helped in our ad campaign, and. especially, those business people and individuals who contributed to our yearbook. We are coming to the last page of the 1988 Synergist — but it s not really the last page of the yearbook. This year, the Synergist will have a Spring Supplement which will be distributed in early fall. For the first time in Science High s history, the yearbook will include spring sports and two very important Senior Class events: The Prom and Graduation. Everyone who receives this book in June will also receive a copy of the supplement in the fall. 119 YEARBOOK STAFF 1988 SYNERGIST MAY. CARLA. DALI LA KASSINA. KESHA ALAYSHA.

I thank Mr. Joe Shoopman from Taylor Publishing Co. and Mrs. Shirley Veter from Lorstan-Thomas Studios for their professional assistance.
