This week during lunch, the pair of graduating classes that donate the most money to yearbook secure their spot in Assembly A on Distribution Day May 18.

We hope not—but anything is possible!!! Find the yearbook staffers at the top of the cafeteria all week with collection jars. (5/7-5/11) R. Byrd
