Finding The Answers In The Perfoming Arts In the month of April, the Wisdom Junior-Senior High School Bonds put on o performance for the entire student body. This group of talented musicians included the Wisdom Pep Band, and even some of our own staff members. The teochers involved with various instruments included Mr. Workman, Miss Dionne, Mrs. Foster, and Mrs. Lobbe. The highlight of the performance came with some surprising guests on some even more surprising instruments. Mr. Michaud played the blender, Mrs. Labbe played the hair dryer, and Mr. Bouchard himself mode a special appearance with his vacuum cleaner. All in all, the performance was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and we look forward to many more marvelous performances. FREE FARE The Drama class presented a delightful comedy in three octs this year. The play HARVEY is about a pooka in the form of a large, white, and invisible rabbit, and his friend Elwood P. Dowd. The play was directed by Mrs. Lynn Owen. The cast included Denise Martin, Kelly Cyr, Scott LaVertu, Karie Michaud, Robin Bernier, Donno Pelletier, Andrew Couture, Ed Latham, Doug Guerrette, Karen Hebert, Debbie Sirois, and Jessica Clark, who made a surprise appearance as Harvey in the final scene. Thursday morning finally arrived, and WHS students poured out of their classrooms into the gym, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Free Fare. This group had come all the way from St. Petersburg, Florida, performing benefit concerts ond touring U.S. high schools. With its singing and upbeat skits, the group brought delight and laughter to audiences everywhere. But this was not just another pretty band! In fact, the group's main purpose was to warn students about harmful drugs and alcohol, while playing popular music to entertain. The band, made up of five guys, was not only an inspiration, but was also an entertaining way to relieve the doy-to-day stress of school. Judging from the applause and cheers. Free Fare seemed to have thrilled Wisdom students. HARVEY P. 8, Top loft: Special performances by unusual musicians and instruments!

During this special hour, everyone screams at the top of his lungs, to see which class will be the loudest. Two special groups that participate in this event are the Junior Varsity and Varsity Cheerleaders. This is an important event for them, as well as the participating Basketball teams. This Pep Rally gives them a jump on their season. The annual Pep Rally has played an important and exciting rale in the past and will continue to do so in the future. 10 DANCES Dances are usually favorite events for the students ot WHS. There were several dances this year, sponsored by various clubs and organizations in the school and community. These included the Halloween Donee, the Christmas Ball, the Punk Dance, and the Hat ond Bandana Donee.

It had been a long year, but each graduate held his head up as he recalled the satisfaction of accomplishment. Softly colored dresses and accessories accented maturing young ladies, while suits and ties complemented each young man. But the night was more than just beauty. June 12, 1987, was a New Beginning for this group of young people. As proud parents and family members looked on, a portrait of ocademic excellence and accomplishment unfolded. Four outstanding graduates took the podium to express just how important this evening was for them. The applause echoed support for a New Beginning in their lives. Teachers nodded in agreement of the job well-done. A Wisdom High School tradition continued as another eighth grade class left its mark in passing through the Junior High School years, only to forge a new trail on the horizon of tomorrow. 29 GRADUATION ’87 The Commencement Exercises of the 1987 Senior Class took place on Wednesday, June 10, at 8:00 p.m. The graduates were all aflurry before the program began, but they were all business when they marched down the aisle for the last time at Wisdom High School. As the opening addresses began, the class of 1987 had a chance to reflect on its twelve years together. The theme. As One Road Ends... Another Begins, was brought out as the Co-Salutatorians, the Honor Essayist, and finally the Valedictorian gave their speeches. The WHS Band's renditions of several popular marches also accented the emotions of the evening. Spirits truly soared as diploma after diploma was given to each excited graduate. The memories of the 1987 Graduation will not soon be forgotten. P. 30, Top loft: The male graduates of 1987.

With a change of coaches and techniques, the girls got off to a slow start. As the season continued, the team began to work as an efficient unit, and it once again became a competitive factor in the County. By the end of the season, Gayle Bouchard and Karen Hebert hod led the team to a 6 — 8 record during regular season. Tension mounted as the high school standings placed the Wisdom team at seventh place. Travelling to Penobscot Valley High School, the WHS girls scored just two minutes into the game. But PVHS was ready, and came back to score six more goals. The final score was 6 — 1. Next year, the Lady Pioneers will be losing five players, but Hebert and Bouchard will return, and much can be expected from this well-seasoned team in next year's season.

This was a very good year for the Pioneers. They ended up with a record of 8 — 5 — 1 and were ranked ninth in Eastern Maine Class C. They went on and played Mochias in the preliminary round, but lost by a score of 1-0. Probably the most highlighted moment of the season was when the Pioneers ended the Washburn Beavers' regular season game winning streak of thirty-five games without a loss, by a score of 2 — 1.

This year in basketball was the best year for the girls in a long time. More fans showed up at games, showing the team that there was a greater interest and support. There was quite a bit of discussion after games among the spectators. Quite a few people thought the team had a good chance to make it to the play-offs. Even though the team won more games this year than in the past, the girls’ basketball team did not make it to the play-offs, and the season hod to come to an end. However, the games were always exciting and interesting, most of the wins decided by only a one-to two-point margin. In view of the increased support and interest from the students and community this year, the WHS Girls' Basketball Team will be getting better in the next season or so. All can say that Wisdom’s Lady Pioneers should walk with their heods high because of the fine team effort they put forth this season. P. 38, Top: A scramble lor the boll.

Between fund-raisers, such as selling teddy bears for each graduating class, and working out the dance routine to the song “Two of Hearts,” by Stacy Q, the girls were kept busy. Advisor Leigh St. Pierre was also kept busy inspiring and encouraging the girls in their efforts. Of all the different times the girls cheered this season, however, the most challenging responsibility was that of organizing and directing the annual Pep Rally. The cheers were never better, and the girls performed effortlessly. As a result, the teams got off to a great start, and the Varsity Squad promoted Pioneer Spirit throughout the season. 53 FINDING THE ANSWERS ... THROUGH NATURE Science Club’s Boston Adventure At the end of April, twenty-two students from Miss Dionne’s chemistry, botany, and zoology dosses went to Boston for a science field trip.

Mrs. Dumond was a student teacher in mathematics at the time. The purpose of the trip was to put math word problems together. The students made word problems with multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division. The students hod a total of 378 math word problems by the end of the day. The math problems were then put into booklet form, so that they could be used for future seventh and eighth graders.

The challenge was to do unfamiliar math problems correctly, no matter what the circumstance. The fun was meeting other students who studied and appreciated basically the same things all over Aroostook County. This is definitely a group that will grow and improve very quickly at WHS.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is more than just an annual induction service for its members. It is, in fact, an organization that promotes academic excellence, as well as community and school service throughout the year. The Wisdom High School affiliate of the National Honor Society has done several things this year to be a more active part of the school. It has again sponsored a tutorial service for students at WHS, in any subject. This service, as well as the organization, is sponsored by Mrs. Louise Cyr, who believes that all students should have the chance to do well. This year, the National Honor Society attended several conventions in the County and State. Next year will find the NHS a viable factor at WHS once again. Bottom: The National Honor Society, convention-bound: (I to r) Andre Albert, Peggy Morin, Janice Tbibeault, Nicole (orriveou, Lynn Sireis, Celino Ouellette, Ed Latham, Cindy Albert, Kelly Cyr, Lori Bourgoin, Mrs. Louise Cyr, Gayle Bouchard, Jill Edgecomb, and Kevin Dumond. HELPING OTHERS TO FIND THE ANSWERS Peer Educators is a group of people who are available to the student who has something that he or she can’t quite cope with. If a student needs someone to talk to, a Peer Educator is always willing to listen. Peer Educators find answers for WHS students who have problems. Peer Educators was formed so students with problems could open up and talk about them. Says Mrs. Louise Cyr, the program’s sponsor, “We thought it would be easier for a student with a problem to talk to another student, rather than going to an adult or a counselor.” Peer Educators are not anything to be afraid of, so if you have a problem — personal or academic — just remember, there’s always a Peer Educator around to talk to you.

If students insist on drinking, as members, they have signed a pledge with their parents that they will not drive while under the influence of alcohol. The parents have also pledged that they will come and pick their children up, rather than have them drive while under the influence of alcohol. This year, besides regular meetings, SADD produced an information campaign, using colorful signs and posters throughout the building. The organization also sponsored several guest speakers who spoke on alcohol and related problems of drinking and driving. Top loft: Lynn Sirois, Robin Wrisley, and Kelly Cyr were SADD’s officers for Hie year. Top right: Mrs. Judy Foster sponsored the WHS chapter of SAOD. Bottom: The SADD organization of WHS. SADD AT WHS 64 Wisdom Student Council The Wisdom High School Student Council consists of students that were chosen to represent eoch class with its suggestions on how to improve student life at Wisdom High School. These suggestions help to make our school a better place, not just for the students, but for the teachers, as well. A president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer are elected from the student body to govern the individual representatives. Eoch high school class elects officers, as well, who are considered as integral parts of the Council. All members are selected by the votes of the students.

(Hamlin) Spear Prize Speaking Contest made last minute preparations for the evening's main event. Representatives from Fort Kent Community High School, Lee Academy, Madawaska High School, Van Buren District Secondary School, and Wisdom High School were eagerly anticipating the thrill of forensic competition for the Northern Regional Contest. Jessica Clark waited, too, as the first contestant began her poem. The tension mounted, and then Mr. Paul Bouchard, our own principal and Master of Ceremonies, said, “And now, Miss Jessica Clark will present her selection, ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin,’ by Robert Browning.” Poised, and ready for action, Jessica mounted the platform and began, giving a beautiful and impressive performance. Thank-you, Jessica, for a job well-done. Right: A ribbon for participants Center left: Jessico rehearses with the help of her tooth, D.

Vocational Education Students who want to leorn a trade, in order to get into that trade after graduation, take vocational education. They may take welding, auto mechanics, tree harvesting, marketing, or nursing, for three periods of each day and three credits a year. These students leave Wisdom High School each day, in order to learn these trades through on-the-job training.1 The students pictured have taken these courses all year, in order to choose a career for themselves.

Well, you’ve come to the right place — Room 21, home of the first Wisdom High School official darkroom and photo-journalism class. Inside, you’ll find a lot of smiles and questions flying back and forth as students and two odvisors teochers struggle to meet deadlines, take pictures, and develop photos or friendships, whichever come first. We salute this dedicated bunch of people, for the effort has been a valiant one.

Bottom: Mrs. Guerrette doesn't look quite so happy in this picture. no Snow Storms in St. Agatha Winters are usually bad around here, but this was an especially bod one. When there are snow storms around here, we don’t usually go home. But this year we hod a few bad storms, and this particular storm was different. That’s why everyone looks so happy in these pictures, as they leave school early. That’s why we decided to add this layout to the yearbook this year. This is what winters are really like in St. Agatha, and northern Maine. in NEVER AGAIN... by Celina Ouellette Never again will I see so many class members put aside their differences to be associated with people they would otherwise by against... Never again will I hear the quiet members of my class yell at the top of their lungs to cheer for the class they sometimes don’t feel a part of... Nev again will I smell that bittersweet smell of sweat that fills the gym as even the non-athletes give it their all for the class... Never again will I feel that sense of belonging, that special bond that holds our class together as an inseparable and loyal unit... Never again will I taste that wonderful taste of victory as we realize what we’ve accomplished, and most of all, that we have done it together... Never again will one event touch me, my classmates, or the school in quite the same way ... These are the times I must truly remember. 112 � % i —
