Climax A Hectic Year After the turning of the tassels, the strong climax to many years of learn- ing, a wave of relief settled over many graduates. They realized a major stride in life had been completed and were anxious to begin their careers. Although they had all experienced some difficult times, these problems were pushed aside when they received their diplomas on June 1, 1978. The hard work and long hours of studying will probably be soon forgotten but the good times and good friends at Elston will always be remembered. Speaking at the ceremony were Rev. George Bowie, who delivered the Invo- cation and Benediction and Mr. Bud Schaeffer. who gave the commence- ment address. The seniors then joined together for one last time to sing the Alma Mater and left the auditorium to begin on a bright future and successful life. 16 On Location
