Hats At Graduation June 2, 1985 marked the end of an era for seventy-seven seniors. Graduation, a special day that had been looked forward to for years, was now a reality. At precisely 2:00 p.m., the seniors and faculty members filed into the gymnasium to the sound of Pomp and Circumstance . The seniors, girls in gray robes and guys in maroon, all carried white silk roses, as did the faculty, board of education members, and special speakers. A senior trumpet trio, consisting of Amy Siekerman, Suzanne Long, and Amber Brown, gave their rendition of Bugler's Holiday , accompanied by Andrea Traster on piano. Reverend John Evans of St. Mark's Luthren Church was the special speaker. Valedictory addresses were given by the three top scholars, Amber, Brown, Timbre Brown, and Amy Siekerman.
