lass meetings, parties, and
C “senioritis” all accelerated as the
seniors counted down to graduation
day on May 31.
The meetings involved ordering
graduation announcements, memory
books and thank-you notes.
Knowing it was their last chance to
participate in many high school
activities, the seniors put forth extra
effort at the pep rallies, gym
decoration, mock Olympics, and the
dances. They won the class yells at all
the pep rallies. The dances were
always packed with disco lovers, rock-
n-roll listeners, and punk freaks. For
the annual mock Olympics the class
won the gym decorating contest and
tied for first place overall with the
sophomores at mock Olympics.
It was also a first for many
occasions. The thrill of being able to
vote and of getting to see X-rated
movies were pleasurable firsts. There
was the induction of National Honor
Society members, cap and gown
measurements, the prom dance on
April 25, senior skip day, graduation
practice, party planning, senior pranks,
and, finally, graduation.
The excitement and anxiety were
always there. Seniors were ready to
plunge into the future, but were afraid
to leave the security of the friends they
had grown up with. The future held
the unknown, but the past had many
memories of parties, friends, dances,
games, and, always, fun.
