Although it was cold outside, everything was warm and festive in the Fairlane Club on May second. The Junior-Senior Prom had finally arrived, and the theme: Everything in My Heart was only a hint of the excitement and possible romance that was in store. Dinner began with a chilled fruit cup and salad, followed by roast prime rib, baked potato, and broccoli Normandy. A delicious strawberry sundae was served for desert. Dancing is always a big part of any dance, and prom was L- « » sy » 4- L-% ■ m no exception. This year was L V t- I V L I I I I I g I I alittle different, though, ■ because everyone was dancing to the tunes of a D.J. instead of a live band. Senior Dave Ivinskas said, It is impossible to please everyone, but a D.J. has a better chance of playing songs to fit everyone's tastes than a live band does, and they take fewer breaks too! Although alot of people brought their own cameras, or took pictures before they left the house, it was hard to resist professional portraits. Representatives from VV.C. Linville Pho- tography were there all evening to capture smiling couples in keep-sake portraits. □ by L.

The last mile, the walk from the school to the church is long-awaited by seniors. The procession was led by junior Dave Bustamante, followed by faculty and the graduating class of 1986 The Curtain As the 25th graduating class proceeded up the center aisle of the church for commencement, mixed emotions were felt: relief that four years of high school were completed, but, at the same time, realization that many friendships would become fragmented by distance and time. The graduates walked in ninety-degree heat from the school to the church. During the two-hour service celebrated by Father Mike Mulavy, they heard speeches by valedictorian |im Hetrick regarding their success as a class; salutatorian Ka- ren McDonnell, comparing life to a basketball game; and the main speaker, Sister Christen, recapping her first four years as principal. This year's class was the first to graduate under her After distribution of diplo- mas, Sue Vaughan and Becky Lennon sang the class song, Friends, before the newest group of alumni. As the gradu- ates marched out of the church, they encountered thir- ty-degree-cooler air for bidding classmates farewell. Later that evening, the alumni attended the first-ever gradu- ation party at DRC. This event lasted well into the night, with food, dancing, tennis, racquetball and volleyball. Door prizes including a grand prize of $150.00 were awarded to those who remained until the end. This was the last chance for the class to spend an evening together. When it ended, students went their separate ways to start new lives □ by M. Wernimont Final Scene Closes on Four Years of High School 28 Graduation
