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.
