1987 1988- The Years We Were Changing

Some things never change,
our flag flies high in front of Watauga High
Our spirit was Wild,
these times make us smile.
Or snooze a while.
Take down mat
Mountain music on stage
our heritage they played
But these were good times Lew Coffey shares his smile
Kicking high
slamming down
Cats!
Band friends
the cafeteria never changes
Our fiends and clubs

we put the first big tree in the courtyard
and sponsored a school wide door decoration
This design won, by Holly Pendergast,
I love the little elf painting the painting!
And costuming was big that year,
crayola kids
soft drink choices
costuming as coaches
a teacher costumed as a postage stamp
Punkin Sharon was soooo cute
who was that thin man?
and the alien TREY
Arts were everything for these seven stars
and this future artist had that look
Mr Ward
Mr. O'Loughlin
Mr. Knowles
and Ms. Rogers
This was the year of big hair
a few persons of interest!
note how much Steve Ward looks like his dad in the pic above!
Yes, there was something about that Hair!
