Temperatures Soar; Panthers Keep Cool Temperatures soared all sum- mer long, and students had to find new ways to be cool. The summer of ' 88 was the hottest one on record and was made worse by one of the longest droughts in history. To keep cool, Panthers got all wet, blew it off, took a walk, took the load off, and or anything else necessary to beat the heat of ' 88. Sophomore Latisa Cole said about her summer, I had a lot of fun and went a lot of places 1 nev- er went before. Some seniors spent their sum- mer planning for college. I want- ed to get it done and over with, said Peggy Butler. Bradley is But- ler ' s first choice. Busy was the best way to de- scribe junior Misty Morris ' sum- mer. I played softball, I went to the beach, and I got my license. Sophomore Mary Niederhofer went traveling. My summer was a blast. My friend and I went to Can- ada for two weeks. Summer couldn ' t be defined by senior Terrence Trotter, but he knew what he liked and what he didn ' t like. I had fun going over to my good friend ' s house and be- ing with people I really care for, but tragedy hit when I found my- self getting up for football practice in August! Amusement parks always make summer fun. Sophomore Marlena Tholen said, I enjoyed my sum- mer because I went to Great America with my friends. Beating the heat was the name of the game for the summer of ' 88. Before a performance at the Ethnic Festival, juniors Angie Baker and Laura Raker stay cool inside the bus as they keep a watchful eye on the rising ther- mometer. Seniors Denise Jansen and Melody Callander broke out the shades to keep back the rising heat from Ford Street. f -iwaimi- ' O Temperatures Soar; Panthers Keep Cool

Fraction Of The Many Faces The life of a student in the 80 ' s is more hec- tic and stressful than it has ever been before. The student part of stu- dent life is only a fraction of the many faces teen- agers wear. Their moods and masks seemed to change as often as the fads and fashions of the day. Insecurity and anxieties sometimes had them singi ng the blues, but then came a glimmer of golden hope. For many, life took on whole new dimension when the 2:40 bell rang on Fri- day. The weekend for some was em invitation to night life and social life. It often served as a reward for surviving the week. Students often used this time as an invitation to sleep in late, spend hours on the phone, spectate at sporting events, or just hang out with friends. Other students used their weekends and hours after school in a different way — for purely financial reasons, ranging from help- ing ends meet at home; saving up for that first car; earning spending money; and banking tuition for col- lege. This is why a look at stu- dents ' lives is more than a glance at their watches to see how their time is spent. It ' s a view inside the inter- ests, hobbies, aspirations, personalities, and financial situations faced by the stu- dents of Washington High School. While taking time out from decorating for spirit week, juniors Rich Bogucki and Aaron Budny try to look like Indians.
