With the final year progressing, the seniors waited patiently for graduation. Seventy- Seven seemed to pass quickly for most of the class. The faculty and administration appeared to be more human, (and in the eyes of the faculty, the seniors did too). It wasn’t that the seniors didn t goof off; after twelve years, they finally learned how to get away with it The seniors worked for a student lounge, and were happy to have a room after midyear. It housed some serious study, miniature golf, and a blackboard graffiti. The many activities of high school kept the senior class busy after school hours. 56 1977 Redbird [High School Annual, Ellendale North Dakota] c: £an (2omi.toc S3 e.liz I ' y !Qzian !2 aircs inJa dayman 1977 Redbird [High School Annual, Ellendale North Dakota] 57 SENIOR PARTICIPATION David Betting: Student Council 1, 2 , 3. 4.

We will no longer come back to the school that is always shined up in the fall. The graduating class of ”77’ ' is moving on to bigger and better things and say ”we are glad to be leaving this place,” but deep down we are going to miss it. After all, we have had a great time! 80 1977 Redbird [High School Annual, Ellendale North Dakota] 1977 Redbird [High School Annual, Ellendale North Dakota] 1977 Redbird [High School Annual, Ellendale North Dakota]
