 LAST SENIOR DAYS Senior week is traditionally filled with activities enjoyed by the soon-to-be graduates. White Pigeon Class of '86 participated in three such activities: Senior Trip, Senior Breakfast, and Commencement Practice. “That's not a rollercoaster, responded Amy Souter to Shelly Corner's comment about a hay elevator as the seniors got closer to Cedar Point, an amusement park, that was the destination of the senior class trip. The rowdy group traveled to Sandusky, Ohio, on May 16,1986, It was a blast, said Gina Noe when she returned. One of their last days together was spent in the sunshine away from books, homework, and tests. Would you bring me some more juice? asked David Skinner at the Senior Breakfast, where seniors spent their last meal in the high school cafeteria. They were invited by their loving teachers to an early morning meal on May 23,1986. Teachers gathered before school to prepare French toast and sausage for the hungry crowd. Many were gathered before 7:00 to get a seat at the cloth-covered tables decorated with red and black steamers. Above the chatter of the hungry guests could be heard Mrs. Patty Davidson as she announced, Two coffees at table one! She and other faculty members served the seniors.
