school" this year, he chose to open
the ceremony with "a moment of
contemplation" in memory of
music instructor Lyle Crofoot and
fellow classmate Raymond Tuper,

graduation.
"We lost two very close members
Of our school; Mr. Lyle Crofoot, a
distinguished and well respected
m e m b e r of our t e a c h i n g
staff...whose musical and teaching
abilites-will be missed,..and Raymond Tuper a friend and member
of our senior class...whose friendship and smile warmed our
hearts."

shoots, "Let the festivities begin.

Mr. Perkins (the high school principal) and especially to Mr. Bissell
(the class advisor) who made our
senior year an outstanding one."
Salmon River Valedictorian
Robert Rubadeau began his address to cheers and shouts of approval by his classmates.
"The Class of '88 is at a point
where they have a foot In the door
of life," Rubadeau said. "Can the
Class of '88 handle what is beyond
high school? I think so."
He said he thought the class was
ready to face the world, because he
felt they had achieved the maturation necessary to do so and had attained a positive personal image.
He attributed the development of
a good self image to the
"friendliness of the teachers at
Salmon."

breedF,'rRubadeau"said'. "Wenave '
serious .ambitions...and a hunger '
for- success," he said adding emphatically that he was confident
