Prom Couples iLove the Worlci Away' iiCelebrate good times, c'mon! As the band iiThe Fantastics bellowed out the familar pop rock song, the students of CHS seemed to take their advice as they celebrated before, during, and after the 1981 junior-senior prom held at the Cry- stal Ballroom in the Brown Education Center in Louisville. The evening started off for most cou- ples with dining at one of Kentuckiana's finer restaurants. The top of the Tower and Victoria Station were two popular choices for the evening agenda. After over-indulging in the vast variety of deli- cacies, it was off to the prom! After arriving, there was little time to re- lax. Signing prom booklets, taking pic- tures of friends, and boogying to the beat occupied every moment. After the clock struck twelve and the prom court was introduced, Carol Aguirre, junior class reporter, presented the 1981 royal- ty. Cindy Huckaby and Randall xiChuck were crowned queen and king. Then it was time for every one to go their separate ways to iicelebrate var- ious post-prom activities. After catching a few winks of sleep, couples were off to Clifty Falls, Kings Island, or a place alone together to iiLove the World Away. v- r i .1911 viii i ifyi 35, f l m 9 :9 99M! we ; I .9 g , t .1 g ,r r a t K f!

Commencement ttThis is it! Graduation had become a reality. The Class of '81 had finally started on their hreflections of tomorrow. On Sunday, May 31, the weather was sup- posed to be cloudless and rainless. But some- one forgot to tell Mother Nature, and Com- mencement had to be moved from the football field to the boys' gym. In the 90th Commencement to be held at Charlestown High School, there were 155 graduates. The past several years, those stu- dents lacking a few credits had been allowed to walk through with the rest of the class, but in 1981 everyone who went through the ceremony actually received a diploma. As the speeches were given, the awards pre- sented, and the tassels turned, the graduates left CHS as a group together for probably the last time. HELPING HANDS is what Mike King has, as he helps David Roberts put on his tie for graduation. lISA PHILLIPS and Eugenia Badger fix the collars ? t of their gowns while they await their big m0- is g . . i ; ment. t 3 THE 90th GRADUATING CLASS of CHS, the Class of '81, listens as Donnie Bettler gives his salutato- 9 rian speech. TRACY MC QUEEN and Ben Meredith goof-off before Commencement ceremonies. GETTING HIS HEAD ON STRAIGHT is Mark P Geller, with a little assistance from classmate Ra- chel Stice.
