A Touch Of Wooden Shoes Comes To Hudson With youthful fervor, Juniors pitched in to transform the ordinory gym into the Netherlands for one mogicol evening. Pine trees were erected and pork benches set up. Murals of dike walls and mountain scenes were painted and a wishing well and windmill were built. Streamers flowed from the ceiling beneath the dimmed gymnasium lights. Curious students had to be locked out of the gym, but an accidental glimpse produced gasps of awe. On the night of May 5, the doors were opened and the gym was revealed for the first time to the prom goers. The band, Raggs, provided an enchanting evening of mellow rock for both dancers and listeners. At 9:00 the grand march commenced as couples began to cross the bridge to the theme song, The Netherlands. It was over all too soon, but remained a memory of our youth to be cherished forever.

Graduation — The End To A Beginning Graduation meant the end of the senior year, but if was also a goal accomplished and another step up the ladder. The class of 79's graduation was unusu- al. Due to an eleven-way tie they had eleven honor students to replace one valedictorian. A speech by class president Natalie Wilcoxson was given after the honors were presented. Natalie's wish for her class was for everyone to be happy in whatever they do. However, what people remem- bered most about her speech was that her cap kept falling off. In a burst of exhilaration, the senior class ended their ceremony with a procfice that had been clos- eted for some time. In unison they threw their graduation caps into the air, and with this a phase of their lives drew to a close. 1. A very relieved Mark Knosr receives his long awaited diploma. 2.
