dress — a farewell given by a man familiar with most of the class during their earlier years as students at the elementary school.
Though the Class of 1989 is average in terms of size compared with past classes at RCHS, it is not representative of those classes in other ways.
Guidance Director James Futrell said this year’s class shows an increase over past years in the number of students planning to continue their education, and a resultant decrease in those planning to enter the workforce after graduation.
Mr. Futrell said that nearly 23 percent of the class will attend a four-year college or university, with an additional 27 percent planning to pursue additional studies at a twoyear institution. Two seniors will attend technical schools, and another 8.5 percent of the graduates plan to enter the armed forces.
“The rest of them are going to join the work force,” Mr. Futrell said, adding that 38.5 percent is lower than in past years. “I’ve seen it as high as 60 percent.”
Mr. Toth said that the Class of 1989 has reflected well on Rappahannock County High School, and vice versa. It is “a very good class,” one that the school has been “extremely pleased with.”
