For 345 sophomores, moving up to Skyline was a new and wonderous experience to over- come. 289 juniors were content with the thought of just being in the middle. For 280 seniors, June 1, Graduation Day was the only important thing on their minds. Education goes only as far as each individual wants to take it. For some of the 280 graduates, high school was not the end of the rainbow, but only a new beginning. Some people would be going to college while others would become a part of the work force in the real world. The end of the year for sophomores and juniors only meant three months of summer vacation and registration again in August. June 6 meant the ending of another school year at Skyline. Minus the seniors, there were approximately 694 underclassmen who had the duties of cleaning out the 300 some-odd decorated, cluttered lockers. June 6 was like most other days for the four janitors who went about their cleaning, scrubbing, vacuuming, washing and preparing for the upcoming 8th school year. This day for teachers meant the com- pletion of grades, the tearing down of classroom decorations and last dances, Theme Closing but not least, the clearing off of their littered desks, for they were anxious for summer vacation also. By mid-morning the majority of parking spaces in the east lot were cleared, for the seniors were gone and the rest of Skyline proclaimed June 6th as a half day. Throughout the year we struggled to learn, We laughed and cried. We held a year long commitment to excellence theme which shone through in participa- tion in athletics, academics, club and community achievements. Throughout all of our experiences during the year, we gained and lost so much, but the experiences helped us grow. At 10:00 p.m. on June 6th, the Final good-byes are said as students leave Skyline High for another fun- Hlled summer. four janitors finished their last duties of the day. The last of the 3987 chairs were stacked along with the tables, the lights were turned off and all the doors were locked until the fall session which was scheduled to begin in the following August. Saying good-bye for some people was difHcult, but as long as we have memories of Skyline, it will seem as though we have never left. As you flip through the pages of the 1984-85 Wing- spread, we hope you will see some of your favorite moments captured.
