Seniors set atmosphere by blowing bubbles By Laura Larson On Sunday, May 20, the graduating class of 1984 held the yearly ritual, their Baccalaureate, in the Blue Ridge multi-purpose room. Ian Jackson started with the invocation. Then came a moving speech by Mr. Ken Sayer that touched the hearts of many. A special choir made up of graduating seniors then sang Tomorrow's Gonna Be a Fresh New Day , the theme song of their class. Adrienne Smith then gave the Benediction to end the service. After four days of chaos and strained brains, graduates arrived on the football field Thursday evening May 24 at 6:00 p.m. for the grand finale of their high school memories. To open the exercises, Amy Freemon gave the Invocation, followed by Don Sanders with the Pledge of Allegiance. Craig Brimhall and Laura Clayton per- formed vocal solos. Then came speeches by Salutatorian Adrienne Smith, and Valedictorian Ian Jackson. The graduation address was given by Mr. Bill Higgins urg- ing the graduates to carry on the fight against hatred and injustice in the world. Then the long-awaited moment came when each graduate was handed a diploma, sending chills down his spine. Highlights were a quartet of seniors blowing bubbles throughout the ceremony and at the end of graduation when Bob Neumann got up in front of his classmates, stripped off his gown to reveal shorts and a football jersey, and directed the class in singing Happy Trailsn. The Benediction was then given by Beth Williams and the Class of 1984 took the traditional walk, down the field and out to face the world of adulthood. li- 84 elmnuirlo

Students make flour, fun, and forevers final By Lona Rayburn This year the Blue Ridge High School students carried their flour babies, shared their fun with their BRHS pre-school and faced their future at the awards assembly. The Blue Ridge High School awards assembly for 1983-84 was held in the cafeteria on May 23, 1984. Ian Jackson was named valedictorian and Adrienne Smith salutatorian for the class of 1984. The assembly began with the pledge of allegiance which was led by Student Body President Della Webb. As the awards were given out, we were reminded of the many 1, Aa, LL, ,nm C8551 1' 9, ,J-,f . things that happened throughout the year. The ceremony ended with the passing of the gavel and so did this year at Blue Ridge but our memories will never end. Page 83. 1.
