Antics of the bat boys momentarily distract Donna Crook’s attention from the Bay-Avon Lake baseball game. The baseball team finished as runners-up in the state championships. “It's always something” We discussed the things you catch. But what about the things that catch you? Like Mr. Loomis when you rip a class? Yep. A catch could be more abstract, though. Have you ever read Catch-22? Uh, I read the Cliff’s notes. Close enough. The catch in the book was the type of no- win situation where alterna- tives cancelled each other out, leaving no means of es- cape from a dilemma. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Kind of like the new Senior Privilege program. Exactly. You could still ex- cape study hall, but only if you had never cut a class or received a failing grade.

The couples, most of which had out-of-class dates, showed up for the catered dinner at St. Demetrious Hall. Music for after-dinner dancing was provided by Starfleet. People shared mixed feelings about the dance. Laura Woodburn called it “a very memorable dance, and very well organized.” In contrast, Jim Liberatore felt that the band could have been better. The theme of “endless summer” brought couples dressed in beach attire to After-Prom where gambling casinos, raffles and food entertained them until 5:00 AM. Even though prom-goers, for the most part, had only three hours of sleep, the trend was to spend the Sunday at some fun and exciting recreation area. Less than three weeks later, seniors pre- pared for their last public appearance at Bay High School. Because of rainy weather, the graduation ceremony was held inside. Class president Bonnie Griswold commented, “Having it inside created more of a feeling of closeness.” After-Grad was held at Aquamarine in Avon Lake where the new alumni could use all of the facilities.
