Laughter, tears, hugs, and kisses are all scenes at a graduation, and the 1978 graduation was no different. Due to a forecast of incle¬ ment weather, the gradua¬ tion exercises were short¬ ened; however, despite the threatening skies, luck and faith permitted Dr. William Powel l and Mr. Grady Mar¬ tin to present the graduates their long awaited diplomas. Charles Vaughan, who ac¬ complished the incredible feat of maintaining a 4.0 average since third grade, was valedictorian. Karen Parker held the honor of salutatorian. For many seniors, this night symbolized an end to being governed by bells. To others it marked a new beginning, and to a few it was just “another night.’’ “Life Is Growth” Valedictorian, Charles Vaughan explains to the graduating class that the problems that face the world will create job opportunities for those who are prepared to accept them. “Growth Is Life” Karen Parker, salutatorian, tells the graduating class that they are now at the crossroads of a new beginning. 14 Graduation

Dreams of Paradise It was hard to believe that what was just a great, big open basketball court on May 1, could turn into a South Pacific Island on May 5, but it happened. The tropical scene displayed the Junior’s theme, “Dreams of Paradise” for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Rolls of bright green and yellow draped the entire top of the gym; as schools of tropical fish and bubble balloons gave the evening a touch of the Hawaiian Islands. The Junior Class put in a lot of long hours and hard work, day and night, to give the Seniors a memorable prom, which was a success and a night that all who attended will remember. 16 Junior-Senior Prom
