Officers and Advisor Senior class officers: Michell Martin, President; Cheryl Martin, Vice President: Tera Paul, Secretary; Maureen Ungvarsky, Treasurer. Congratulations Seniors, you made it. Looking back over the years and seeing this class mature is now remarkable in your personal accomplishments and school achievements. At the beginning of the 1985 school year, the “Class of 1988” was without an advisor and was in debt to the school. Becom- ing this class advisor was a real challenge and the challenging questions were will we have enough money for a prom at the Ramada Inn and where will all this money come from. Well, the class was very resourceful with good suggestions for fundraisers. Your hard efforts in selling candy, jewelry, cheese and sausage, and senior class jerseys were all success- ful. You also sponsored a Jazzercize workout, and a car wash. Cash prizes from competing in local parades helped also. Thanks go to the community for their cash gifts and dona- tions. Yes, we had a very colorful, exciting, and a fantastic prom. After your junior year, we were able to overcome the most difficult challenges and demands and had a memorable Will Conyers, Advisor senior year. Working with the “Class of 88” has been rewarding and at other times challenging, but each year brought on more openness and acceptance of each other’s ideas and thoughts. Too, I say thanks to the many parents for having enough faith in me and the giving of your time and energies to the many class-sponsored fundraisers and activities. Through the good and indifference, this class had a very distinct character of caring and hard work. Best wishes for the future and may each passing year bring on more happiness than the year before. Always, Will Conyers Advisor 16

Class Song “The Best of Times” by Styx Tonight’s the night we’ll make history. Honey you and 1 And I’ll take any risk To tie back the hands of time And stay with you here tonight. 1 know you feel these are the worst of times I do ! elieve it’s true When people lock their doors and hide inside Rumor has it it’s the end of Paradise But I know if the world just passed us by Baby I know, I wouldn’t have to cry The best of times are when I’m alone with you Some rain Some shine. We’ll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday Will last a lifetime We’ll take the best, forget the rest And someday we’ll find These are the best of times. The headlines read These are the worst of times I do believe it’s true I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise But I know If the world turned upside down Baby I know You’d always be around. And so my friends we’ll say goodnight For time has claimed its prize But tonight can always last As long as we keep alive the memories of Paradise. ('lass Poem “Footprints” One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORO. Across the sky Hashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonged to him, and the other to the LORI). When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. “LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.” The LORD replied. My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of foot- prints, it was then that I carried you.” Class flower: white rose Class colors: purple and yellow 17
