At the first Hillite Booster Barbecue, Tim Wressellgets ready to become a member of the Clean Plate Club.” Activities We all live many wonderful and unforgettable moments in and around our little town. The daily routine of going to school was, by no means, boring at Arthur Hill. What with sports, various clubs and whatever else the average student spent his time doing, students were kept busy around the clock. Saginaw offered a wide range of entertainment. This year students caught a glimpse of the Commodores at the Civic Center, laughed to the hysterics of “Animal House”, and were touched watching the tenderness of “Family” on television. All of these things and more made 1979 a year to remember.

In the end - It was five minutes before 558 1977-78 graduate students were to walk up the football field and sit through the graduation ceremony. Tension and nervousness were in the air. Everyone was crying and laughing knowing that this was the final step before being on their own. Waiting 13 years for this moment, was there a touch of sadness in the air? Were they afraid? What will it be like to never walk down those halls full of laughter and talk with friends? It must be what they call growing up, or should it be called a phase of life? The ceremony continued. The students were waiting for the diploma to be placed in the palms of their hands. The ceremony never changes, but the people do. a beginning The senior trip was different. The 54 students and chaperone, Mr. Gary Knight, boarded the airplane for Hawaii. Hula dancing, swimming or maybe even a little bit of surfing was part of all the fun. Senior Prom, a dance almost all the seniors wait for, was held at Delta College Commons Garden. The band which played for the 1978 seniors was Westwood. Senior Party, another activity which most seniors wait for was held at the Candlelight Inn. Students danced all night to the sound of Jammer. Graduation is a very special and memorable part of life. Approximate- ly 600 high school students graduate here yearly.Arthur Hill-a part of our little town. 17
