A Time for Beginnings, A Time for Letting Go Four years of work, dedication, and struggle. It all ended with a ceremony lasting barely an hour. The curtain opened in 1980, the stage set at Elmhurst, the cast the members of the Class of ' 84, playing the roles of freshmen. Act I commenced as they weaved their characters through the year of triumph and defeat, molded by their chosen courses of education. From there, Act II began its tedious journey. In 1981, the freshman roles evolv- ed into sophomores. The molding of educa- tion continued as the cast increased their learning and knowledge under the guidance of skilled, entrusted craftsmen known as teachers. 1982 brought Act III. The players became juniors, and slowly, a single goal came to mind. The climax — graduation. The cast grew pensive, increasing their ef- Five, foui, three, two, one.

They quickly picked up their reins, however, and began to play their parts well. The climax took place on June 5, 1984. at the Memorial Coliseum. The cast, at- tired in ceremonial robes, played their final scene with skill. Diplomas were given to the deserving mernbers, and the play end- ed, leaving behind memories, tears, and education. With the final curtain, the cast went on to bigger and better plays — college, work, marriage. As Shakespeare said, The world is a stage, and the men and women merely players. The Class of ' 84 will continue their suc- cess on their stages, in their theatres, tak- ing with them memories of four acts they will never forget. Congratulations, Class of ' 84! 28 — Graduation

That in itself is bad enough, but when you are made to actually go to class and participate . . . Yes, life gets even rougher from spring break till the end.

And you know that just one day of lying in the sun will give you back your bronzed body. Yes, the temptations are great for us seniors, but we all know that one day in the very near future we will all be walking down the aisle at the Coliseum to receive our much deserved and even anticipated diplomas.
