Clinton Hinker Jeffrey Howard Cheryl Larson Class of 1987 makes WHS history The 10 seniors who began the 1987 schooJ year in Sep- tember made history as the smallest class to graduate from Woonsocket High School. The classes of 1922 and 1985 each had 11 members. This year’s senior class reached the eleven-member mark in April when Mark Rosenberg joined the class. The seniors involve themselves with the classes of American government, physics, computers, vo-ag, busi- ness ed., senior math, English IV, band, chorus, and shop. Extra-curricular activities are FFA, FHA, foot- ball, basketball, track, drama, and band. A long-awaited event for the seniors each year is the beginning of senior privileges. This year the students received their open-campus chances the last nine weeks, as long as they maintained passing grades. The seniors' venture to Pierre, where they visited the Legislature, proved to be a pleasant one. As part of their agenda, the seniors toured the Capital and went to the mall. There they found enjoyment in the photo booth where the girls stuffed the booth for a group picture. The chaperones were Doug Riter, Herb Tollefson, Roger Larson, and Richard Ferguson. The final weeks of the school year brought prom on May 1 and graduation, May 15. lA Deanne Larson and Lynette Steichen take stats during a girls basket- ball game. 8

Seniors Offer Improvements Vikki Tuff» works in computer class. Relying on four year's of experi- ence, this year's seniors were asked, If you were to come back to WHS, what would you want changed? Popular with the 10 students was the idea of a Jounge. Of the eight who answered the question, seven listed a place for the students to go during their free hours. It would be open to students passing in all subjects and used during study halls. Several of the seniors would also like a larger variety of classes. With six electives and two required courses of English and American government, they feel they are limited in the selection of the five required classes for a seven-period day. The only three seniors involved in boys basketball are Trent Trudeau. Lynette Steichen. and Clinton Hinker. Discipline was listed as needing change. Several seniors feel the teachers are too strict and need to slacken up. The point was also brought up that not all students are treated the same. Other changes include more room so the high school students could have a school area of their own, more spirit, lockers with locks, long- er noon period, more time between classes, and better food.
