Memories Remain Long After Rainbow Fades As the couples entered the Joyce Athletic and Convo- cation Center on Friday, May 6, 1988, they immediately saw an array of rainbow-pastel streamers. Next they walked through a runway of helium-filled balloons and then passed through a balloon-covered arch to the wait- ing decorated tables and lively mu- sic of This End Up. Time passed quickly with the taking of pictures and the conver- sations of where to meet after the Prom. As couples danced the night away, the most awaited mo- ment finally arrived. It was an- nounced that Rahmem Johnson was Prom Prince and Sonya Ad- ams was Prom Princess of the 1988 junior class. For the Senior Class of 1988, Prom King was Jeff Kyle and Prom Queen was Veroni- ca Yado. Prom Queen Veronica Yado and escort Ray Smith contemplate the events to follow the Prom.

Doors Close As Future Opens Teardrops, sobs, sighs and elations filled the heat- soaked gymnasium as the Class of ' 88 filed into their seats and prepared for the closing of their high school years. Academic and emotional prepa- ration for this day began four years ago; actual preparation for the ceremony was majorly done by principal David Kaser and sec- retary Mrs. Pat. The class itself had only to order the flowers and organize themselves for the receiv- ing of diplomas. During their four years, the Class of ' 88 sponsored eind partici- pated in many events. The high- light of freshman year was deco- rating for the homecomings. As sophomores, they enjoyed a trip to Great America. The big event their junior year was the Prom, and their senior year, Foot- ball Homecoming. Also as seniors, the class sponsored a winter semi- formal. The class sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Swintz, played a prominent role in the graduates ' lives, said Mrs. Swintz. In every event in which the whole class par- ticipated, the sponsors were there to share the experience with them. The best part of being a class sponsor was giving the speeches at graduation, said Mrs. Swintz. The sponsors also commented on the concerns of the graduating class such as insecurity and fright. Senior class president, Lynn McCarthy, had one sobbing clos- ing statement, I ' ve had so many good times here that I don ' t want to leave. 12 Doors Close As Future Opens Graduates Jeff Wells and Mark Zalas close their lockers for the last time, and open new doors to the future. College, leadership and the future are just a few of the topics that class sponsor Mr. Robert Swintz discussed in his speech to the graduating class.
