It feels real good, said graduate Michelle Druga following the ceremonies May 28 at Moody Coliseum at SMU. The ceremonies began with the Golden Eagle Band performing processional Pomp and Cir- cumstance as the graduates marched into the coliseum. Senior Class President David Patton gave the class farewell followed by an address by Class Salutatorian Edward Mao. Joyce Davis then delivered the traditional Valedictory address to the graduating class of 535 students. The Class of '85 has had an ex- cellent year, said Principal G. Tom Kelly in the presentation to honor students. Even with the confusion brought on by House Bill 72, they have continued to excel. Junior Principal Robert Todd called out the names of each Class of 85 graduates at Moody graduate for the presentation of the diplomas. Richardson High School is the only school in the district to actually hand out diplomas at the graduation ceremonies. Perhaps the highlight of the presentation was gymnast Brian Funkhouser's backflip on the stage. Donned in cap and gown, Funkhouser received a roar of ap- plause from the class and the au- dience as he continued in line back to his seat. When the final graduate, Greg Zwieacker, proceeded across the stage, the class went wild with applause. Ending the commencement pro- gram the GEB played the familiar alma mater for the last time. Then the coliseum was filled with purple as the Class of '85 tossed their hats into the air. - Amy Wolken- steinfSteve Gaut 202 f Seniors Holly Jane Sadler makes adjustments to Kathy Sattayatham's robe before gradua- tion gets underway. fScottj Raising his hands in triumph, Dandy Killeen walks off the stage at Moody Col- iseum after receiving his diploma. fMulUeyJ

ye'- f 13 if 5 .X I can't wait . . . For a senior, perhaps the most imortant thing in life is graduation. As the school year comes closer to an end, seniors every where can be heard saying, I can't wait until I graduate. Indeed, that day on which seniors receive their diplomas seems ever so glorious. When I graduate,', said senior Veronica Montero, I will feel I have done something great. Attending college fills the minds of most seniors such as Scott Ellis, who plans to at- tend Texas Tech University. I am going to Tech to study pre-med so that I can become rich, said Ellis. Senior Diana Christensen is going to Tennessee' Bryan College where she will study psychology because . . . I like to help other people. Others have different plans after they graduate. After graduating I am going into the Navy for two years and then to a school in Tulsa, said senior Tim Callahan. Also considering the Navy, senior Bryan Stinson says he will go only as a last resort. If I can't get some kind of scholarship to Stephen F. Austin College, said Stin- son, I'll probably go into the Navy. But perhaps graduation and being arf adult is not all fun. I am fearing graduationf' said Callahan. I don't think that I am ready to face the cold, cruel world. - Chip Hill Seniors X 201
