The policy developed drew the attention of area news media. About 20% of the high school students took advantage of this new change. Certain steps had to be taken to qualify a student for an excused absence. Before students were granted their excuse, they needed a parent permission slip, a clearance slip and all work had to be completed in advance as well as proof of ownership of a hunting license. 36 Smooth Yeav Fot Studuit CwMtil The 1987-88 Senior High Student Council kicked off the year with a great homecoming.

The shows were nearly opposite in tone. PLAYING DOCTOR was a delightful farce that kept the audience laughing throughout. DAI , our 40th production, was a wonderful comedy with a universal theme of life, death, and family ties. Masque and Bauble members are a talented, hard-working group of people who are a credit to their school and their community — the best. 46 PenfofjMwcu . . . . 1 ROW 1: Pat Andrea©.

While we think of the memories Of the years gone past. Tears fill our eyes Because it's all gone. We're starting a new life. We have to move on. We hope friends will keep in touch As the years pass by us. Although it hurts inside We'll try not to cry. We think of kindergarten And our first day. Now, we've reached the end We are going away. How do you say good-bye To friends who mean so much? Will there be time To sincerely keep in touch? You'll always have the memories Of your school years from day one, Don't think of school as ending Think of a new life just begun.
