Seniors pray together one last timeg For excellence in religion, Karl and Baumgartner receive Bishop's Cross Graduation activities actually began long before the day itself with the usual announcement of the top 10, valedictorian, and salutatorian, dis- tribution of caps and gowns and gold citation cords, and hours of practice. It became quickly clear to the seniors that graduation meant the end of security at the school on Pickle Road. May 50 arrived with a thrill of victo- ry in the air. Many things happened in that afternoon. The Baccalaureate Mass was celebrated by Father Richard Yost OSFS CJudy Muir's un- clej, assisted by area clergy including Father Joseph Jaros CJackie Jaros' unclej, with homily by Father Ed Paw- lowski Creligion teacher at Stritchb. A reception provided a chance for par- ents and friends to gather for pictures and grab a bite to eat. The ceremony itself included 176 graduates. JoEllen Karl and Chuck Baumgartner received the Bishop's Cross, for excellence in religion and service. As graduation came to an unforget- table close, there was a mixture of emo- tions apparent on each of the gradu- ates' faces. There was a feeling of relief knowing that four years of hard Work paid off, yet there was also a feeling of loneliness realizing that it may very well have been the last ti.me We Were all together. llld X graduation Bottom left: Leading the Senior Class as presiden as well as in prayer is Chuck Baurngartner.

To make individual plans and decisions about what to do with the rest of your life is what senior year is all about :gp I t To be a senior: a high schooler's dream, a sense of growing up and de- veloping individuality. To be a senior means doing your own thing and not worrying about the in-crowd or peer pressure. Senior year means applying to colleges and universities, planning job and career decisions, and taking a big step up the ladder of life. Do I want to be a nurse, an accoun- tant, a sports player, a factory worker, a housewife, a marine, or manager of a fast-food chain? Seniors ask them- selves such questions and many more in Search of what's right for them. Through it all, maybe the best advice for the graduating class of 1982. is: Do what's right for you, what you want to do. In other words, DO YOUR. OWN i . THING!! if Upper left: Concentrating on a chemistry experi- ment, Joe Narges and Krista Karcher pour some chemicals. Left: Clowning around, Joe Mraveo Wears a hat.
