af-vs . .swf n at Hurrah Ah, Springtime! You said to yourself, stretching your arms high above your head and yawning your best thank-goodness-it's-spring-now- I-can-take-it-easy, yawn. But soon you discovered it was not necessarily so. juggling your spring calendar to make everything fit was no easy task. Especially if you were a senior. There was the traditional flurry of spring events-all-sports banquet, junior-senior prom, senior and year- book assemblies, senior sermon, sen- ior breakfast and the final gathering of the 457 seniors at Taft Stadium May 25, at 8 p.m. Commencement speakers, Steve A NERVOUS Kip Morrison marks time as he anticipates an after party. THE FINAL MOMENT. Seniors of '78 wait patiently for their turn to graduate during the commencement addresses. NEW TREND? Noted as an individualist, '78 senior Lance Griffith wears cowboy boots and blue jeans to graduation ceremonies instead of the traditional attire. K Williams, Michelle Edwards and Bobby Peak, who stressed involve- ment and decision, also included the usual touches of nostalgia in their addresses. Valerie Guess and Doug Stewart topped some 75 senior award win- ners by receiving the Classen Medals of Honor. Underclassmen, too, kept busy selecting officers for school clubs and enrolling in advanced classes for the '79 school year. A careful countdown of school days was marked by restless students eager to scatter for summer vacation. Most everyone obtained some sort of summer job to help pay for the fun that would hopefully make '78 one of the best summers ever!

The special moments I remember best, and just hanging around the halls between classes. But no matter how the time was spent, there's no mistaking 1979 was a record year! Student Life 7
