Leon Coe and Leonard Campise arrive at the field house for the graduation ceremonies. Graduation night was approached with mixed emotions. As the students displayed ear to ear grins along with tear-filled eyes, they realized that whatever the future held for them would be decided within the next few moments. Graduation. The night so many seniors had dreamt about. After waiting so long, nothing could keep them away. Tracy Harnage was released from the hospital the day of the ceremonies just so she could participate in the commencement excersises and receive her diploma along with her 540 other classmates. That was an example of the drive that pulled the seniors to Stoney Phillips Gymnasium on Thursday, May 27. The end and yet the beginning. Beginning their lives took priority in the minds of the graduates. Collegetand careers seemed to be the most prevalent choices, but marriage and travel plans also ranked high on the graduates' lists. At exactly 8 p.m., the processional began. The students proudly filed into the gym and took their seats. Laneigh Anderson gave the invocation. Frank Braden, principal, then welcomed everyone and introduced the platform guests and homeroom teachers. Dr. C. Lee Meyer sent to the podium where he introduced Laura Willars, the commencement speaker. Afterwards Braden announced and recognized the National Honor Society members, the Academic Excellence Award and scholarship recipients, the diplomas were presented by Sam Hawkins, president of the board of education. The last senior to receive his diploma was Jerry Ziegler of homeroom 12-18, and a huge sigh of relief was heard from the crowd as he shook hands with Hawkins. C. J. Leslie led the audience in the Alma Mater followed by the benediction which was deliverd by Julie Peterson. As Auld Lange Syne was played the graduates hugged and congratulated each otherg many cried while others shouted with relief. In less than two hours, the night they had all been waiting for had come and gone. 36 Graduation gg .si Q X ' St was Lit'
