That was true for some, but for others it was quite a different story. Many girls went without a date. Going stag was easier because you didn't have to worry about your date getting mad because you talked to another person or danced with them. I think I had a better time than if I would have gone with a guy, junior Sarah Hicks commented. There were a few mishaps that will never be forgotten, according to junior Tricia Burke. A lot of people went in limousines but ours was late. We had to wait forever, Burke commented. There were some special moments that will always be remembered, according to juniors Robynn Hohert and Mike Musgrave, the prom queen and king. Hohert explained her excitement during prom, 199999 ll E hi'Ei hhgffee Seeing everyone all dressed up and looking nice was fun. According to junior Mike Musgrave, his election to Prom king was a nice perk. It doesn't give you any power or anything...it was just real flattering. The after prom party at the Holiday Inn downtown had casinos, music, dancing, food and a pool for swimming from one until four in the moming. Some thought that the after prom party was even more fun than the prom. After prom was a lot better than prom itself. There was a lot more to do, explained sophomore Angela Sheetz. Fellow sophomore Cindy Hopper thought the same thing. The whole atmosphere of after prom was more fun. With the colors as blue and silver and the theme of Heaven in Your Eyes, the prom seemed enjoyable and a fun night for everyone who participated.

WEE? msggggs As the final slides faded into orange and gold sunsets, a warm glow came from the stage. The words of Bon Jovi's song, Never Say Goodbye, died down, and the graduating seniors sat on the stage of the Follinger theatre holding their candles, waiting to tum their tassles. The Senior slide show, with the theme Never Say Goodbye, was a main part of the graduation ceremony, showing past fun times and activities of many of the seniors who donated slides from as far back as gradeschool. Many of the seniors thought that the theme and the song were exceptionally fitting for their class. People didn't want to say 'goodbye' .... Most of the people wanted it to last, no matter how bad it was at times, said senior graduate Stan Clark. During the ceremony, Salutatorian Laura Moffit, Valedictorian Brenda Hacker, and Senior class president Adam Probst addressed the audience.

Probst spoke, stressing the importance of friends, goals, and believing in oneself. When Pomp and Circumstance was played as the the Seniors entered the theatre a strong spring rain began, ending as the ceremony ended, allowing friends and relatives to congratulate the graduates outside the theatre in the parking lot. As the music faded, and the slide show came to a close, the warm orange colors from the sunsets and their candles washed over the seniors. They were able to take a quiet moment to think back on all the memories they had together, knowing they would Never Say Goodbye . Tracy Jensen- Managing Editor
