Bottom Left: The Class of 1984 proceeds to their seats to the tune of Pomp and Cireumstancef' The 1984 graduation ceremony took place in the gymnasium, due to weather conditions. Instead of having one main speaker, the four class officers each gave a speech. Dawn Miller, school board president, received over 240 peanuts from the graduating class. This was also the first year the seniors asked permis- sion to toss their caps at the end of the ceremony. Ut was also the first year no one was injured by a gradu- ate's caplj And elderly people were given a special place to sit, right next to the graduates!

Bottom Right: Wendy Wilkerson spends a sad mo- ment with someone special. feelings at GRADUATIO raduation was one of those mo- ments in the life of the Class of 1984 when happiness and sorrow were felt equally, and strangely enough, neither feeling had a more negative impact than the other. The happiness was quite easily under- stood because we were experiencing the satisfac- tion of having completed one phase of a long continuing struggle. Understanding the positive aspect of the sorrow we all felt was not quite as obvious or easy for us. Having stood with our friends, hugging, crying, and laughing, all at the same time, the Class of '84 realized something we had never thought of before. Although we were unhappy, we were so very excited about everything that had taken place and we looked forward to what was to come. We had complet- ed a task, an event, a day we had been working for four years of high school. That really was something to celebrate! The world was now ours, there for the grabbing. Decisions were left to our discretion, and so were all the joys and heart- aches that came along with them. Although we all felt sad about leaving our friends and all that was familiar to us, the unhappiness that some of us dreaded opened our eyes to what laid in store. The prospect of the future overshadowed all the finality of graduation. The Class of 1984 will be remembered for the many things it gave to MHS, but more importantly, we must always remember what Mundelein High School gave us: a sound education that we hoped would make our dreams come true.
