A DAY OFF Give your brain a break At six-thirty as usual over one hundred seniors opened their sleepy eyes, only to dose them again and dream about the day ahead. Next to gradua- tion, this was the most long-awaited day in one's year as a senior. The day was the infamous ‘ ‘Senior Skip Day. The Skip Day for the Class of 88 fell on March 31 st, giving them a five-day weekend. While some were sleeping in or terrorizing town, others hurriedly began their En- glish term papers. There were those who left just long enough to watch Mom and Dad head for work. But, there were twelve dedicated seniors who made their way up the mountain to the insti- tute of knowledge. When Monday morning rolled around, the excuse table seemed as if it was the place to be. Some popular excuses seemed to be: “Please excuse Lori from school. She was overtired from the excite- ment of the social studies fair. “Please excuse Matt for he had a bad case of simple chronic halitosis. “Please excuse Penny from school as she was ill. “Please excuse Brenda for she was out of town. “I'm sure there are quite a few more but we 7 just “skip those. If you don t look good, we don t look good, declares Seniors Donna Parsons and April Trader. Using his press pass. Allen Loughry brings home the ulti- mate story from the State Bas- ketball Tournament. What's deodorant? asks Ke- vin Corcoran as Jennifer Jones. Scott Wagner, and Billy Hunt join in the joke. 60 - Seniors St-Wo

TREASURE CHEST Time went by so quick- ly. It was hard to believe that you once thought it would take eons to get at this moment. You stood on the threshold of gradu- ation. You made it through many adolescent obstacles such as dating, fitting-in, and making decisions. You once thought that you would never miss this place. Suddenly, you looked back. Though it wasn't quite over, you missed it already. You looked at your life-long and new friends, realizing Close by your heart that there weren't many more days of just “hang- ing-out. You hoped that you and the great times would last forever. But, somehow you knew that years tarnish the memo- ries. Perhaps you found yourself wanting to turn back time or you put on an optomistic outlook and couldn't wait to “escape. Still the memories flooded back when you flipped through old notes, grade school high school pictures, thought about secret jokes and remem- bered things you thought you'd forgotten. You thought about the par- ties, dances, cruises around town, and slee- povers. Of course, there will be more dances, par- ties and such, but it won't be as special as those of high school. No words could even begin to ex- press the way you felt. But, you weren't alone. And even though the memories may tarnish, and bonds vanish, the memories will always be in your heart-your private treasure chest. Senior spirit rides high during the homecoming pep rally. Yes, am cute aren't I says Stephanie Carr as she poses for a picture during halftime at a basketball game. Three peas in a pod. April Trad- er, Ruth Pollock, and Denise Roy pose at a pig-out session.
