Michael G. Mina Valedictorian Richard Rice Our thanks go to Bold men with bold dreams built this country, and each year certain Seniors stand out in the crowd because they have lived up to that ideal. These Seniors have sewed above and beyond the call of duty, and they have sacri- ficed their time and energy to work diligently for the betterment of our school and our community. By striving for the right, by seeking the truth, and by pursuing the unknown, they have shown us what a conscientious scholar is, what an honest person is, and what it takes to make Hamburg High School truly great. Each of these Seniors stands on a pinnacle: they deserve our attention, our praise, and our thanks. Each has merited this praise. In our seemingly complacent and apathetic world, 'few bother to do much, these few Seniors bothered and cared enough to stand up, look around, see a problem, and then dive headtirst towards its solution.

The elected king and queen and their court found themselves to be the center of attention at the coronation, after which every- one participated in the Grand March into the cafeteria. Here the refreshments, provided by members of the class, were enjoyed by all. As the dance came to a close crepe paper and torn decorations created a rather chaotic end to a perfect night.
