Graduation (tltc f iiiaI houi The final hour became a reality on May 31. After Baccalaureate Mass which was held that morning, the seniors rushed back to the cafeteria and started slipping into the carefully fitted caps and gowns, searching for a friend to find out what they were planning to do after the big ceremony, rushing to make sure the make-up was just right, and signing yearbooks of those who they knew they wouldn ' t be seeing for a long time. Then Father Hank Lemoncelli urged the seniors to get into their proper positions in line because they were about to begin the ceremony which they had practiced so many times the preceding week. That day was a culmination of activities which were unique of senior year. The realization of being a senior began to sink in when they had their formal portraits taken over the summer, which were later framed by proud relatives, placed in special photo albums, and given to best friends to carry in their wallets. These pictures were the last one taken of their high school years, and the attire emphasized the formality that accompanied graduation. Much later in January and February, the seniors faced the awesome decisions of what color, what type style, and how many graduation announcements to order. Measurements for caps and gowns followed and each student was forced to confess his or her weight, height, and hat size. The actuality of college sank in as seniors received notices of acceptance and rejection for all of the applications they had so painstakingly filled out. Groups of friends were remem- bered after the festive Grad Nite held at Disney World, but the thoughts of that special someone were cherished after Prom. During the two weeks of Senior privileges they realized that the end, or the beginning, was near. A combination of fear and pride enveloped the seniors as they walked onto the stage to receive their diploma. After the closing prayer, the graduates filed out into the cafeteria, threw their gowns aside and headed into the real world.
