Tiraduation is not an end ervous anticipation showed on the faces of students lining up in the damp evening air. Classmates straightened each other’s caps and gowns while still others searched for their spot in line. An air of dignity and deep concentration surrounded the students as they stood quietly waiting the start of the Com- mencement ceremony. Following the ceremony, it seemed that something inside the new graduates had suddenly been set free. As they turned in their caps and gowns, those same people who had been so solemn only a few minutes be- fore were changed into a state of joyfulness. Now was the time they could finally let go and cel- ebrate the completion of a major step in their lives. The Commencement cere- mony was a solemn event. Car- men Winterrowd, salutatorian, and Chris Williams, valedictorian, spoke to the class, challenging them to make the most of their lives after high school. Mr. Houston recalled honors won by members of the class before the presentation of diplomas. Once the new gradu- ates had received diplomas, Senior Class President David Jaquess closed the ceremony with the following words: ‘‘May the road rise to meet you; May the wind be always at your back; May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again; May God hold you in the palm of His hand.” a Principal Philip Houston presents the class of 1981 with a list of their accom- plishments. The auditorium was quiet as the gradu- ates waited for David Jaquess to lead the changing of the tassels. Students practiced marching to Pomp and Circumstance” on their last day of school. 30 Graduation
