he year is 2014. It is the 25th reunion of the Class of 1989, A backward glance brings reminiscences of friends talk- ing between cars parked on Jeffries Boulevard, or gath- ered at the park downtown to discuss the issue of gradu- ation. Some remember spending their afternoons practic- ing for sports or band or working at a part-time job. On the weekend, the time was spent at parties, on dates, and at football and basketball games. Sometimes students drove to Charleston to take in a movie or shop in the mall when they could find “nothing to do” in town. Others remember spending leisure time staying home and renting movies. Some students have not forgotten going out to the parking lot after a particularly rough day, ready to head home for a relaxing afternoon, only to find their cars had been “bulldogged.” Cars which were illegally parked or cars without visible stickers had these locking devices installed on the tires by the administration. Students remembered meeting their friends at lunch or in the halls to catch up on the latest gossip. The hallways were always filled with daily familiar chatter interspersed with the foreign dia- lects of German, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, and Danish exchange students. The reunion has conjured up memories of good times and bad — being a freshman, going on the first date, getting a license, having pep rallies, taking exams and the SAT, participating in sports and clubs, retaking the SAT, attending the Spring Dance and the Prom, staying at the beach for Jr. Sr. Weekend, and taking part in graduation. Time has a way of mellowing memories, and these high school memories truly become times to remember. Student Life

Freshmen receive their P.E. orientation from Coach Burke on the first day of school, Just the sight of Coach Burke’s name on schedules struck fear into the hearts of many. Even Ms. Guerry found the new schedule challenging and often times confusing. The new schedule troubled both faculty and students on the first days but became second nature after a few weeks. Practicing in the first days of the August heat, band members sweat it out to be the best. Band members willingly gave up their summer to practice their new show. Foreign exchange student Kayo Morita, looks worried on the first day in a much larger and louder school. Kayo is from To- kyo, Japan.
