Our ' 87 Prom And Graduation Led To The End Of The Beginning As we stood in line next to our friends anxiously await- ing the final moment, mem- ories lingered in our minds. Remembering every special occasion from the past twelve years, we expe- rienced every emotion in a one hour span. We were excited, sad, anxious, scared, curious, and uncertain about the future. The date was June 12, 1987, graduation night. Memories of the past few weeks were the most vivid in our minds. The Junior Senior prom, a special night at the Holidome preceded by a nice dinner at one of the city ' s most popular restaurants, made memories that will last a lifetime. Next, the Junior Senior weekend, our traditional beach weekend of good times and fun under the sun, still put a smile on everyone ' s face. Along with the end of that infamous three-day adventure, comes the end of the year. There is only one event left. The one special night finally ar- rives and the excitement mounts. Though we had numerous practices, we were still not quite sure what to do and with all the nervousness Mr. Banks has to tell us one last time where to go. Finally we hear our name, march across that stage to re- ceive our long awaited diploma, and traditionally end with the turning of our tassels. One last celebration with our friends at the Sheraton, for the gradu- ation dance, and it is all over. The goals have all been achieved and the stage is now set for the rising seniors, the class of ' 88, to set and achieve their goals, for next year it is their turn. i The stuff that dreams are made of. Every high school student knows what these things are and everyone, at one time or another, dreams of that final moment. It is now the time for the class of 1988 ' s dreams to become a reality as they experience their Senior year and finally, graduation. After . . . Graduates Burt Richardson and Debbie Smith enjoy themselves during the 1987 Junior Senior prom held annual- ly at the Holiday Inn. That special night with that special someone made memo- ries for these two that will stay with them forever.

A Motley Crew The apprehensive students sit anxiously awaiting their turn to receive their diploma. Listening attentively, their fellow students speak to them, recalling events and lessons learned from the past. Realizing now that the beginning of their lives is coming to an end, they look forward to a bright future. Arleen Song marches across the stage at Minges Coliseum to receive her diploma after twelve long years of hard work. Due to incli- mate weather, the graduation exercises were not held at Ficklen Stadium as normal. This ultimate climax of excitement makes every bit of work during high school seem worthwhile.
