An Evening of Elegance Stepping out in style, with hats and canes in hand, Juniors and Seniors ate, danced and celebrated at Ramada Inn Southwyk May 18, for the 1985 Prom “Almost Paradise.” Dinner was served buffet style, and music was provided by Town Crier. The evening’s success was achieved under the leadership of Junior Class President Lori Mika and Adviser Ms. Setmire. Following the prom, quick clothes changes were made and swim suits and racquets grabbed as everyone headed out to Perrysburg Racquet Club where the after-prom was held. Students and dates enjoyed swimming, racquetball, tennis and a relaxing whirlpool. The activities and the refreshments were all made possible by parents who wished to make prom night a safe paradise in honor of the graduating seniors.

Leaving the Package Behind A cool and overcast day dawned on June 9, as final preparations were made to have an indoor ceremony. Pride was evident on the faces of parents as they, along with friends and relatives, assembled in the gym for the greatly anticipated occasion. In traditional green and gold gowns the Class of ’85 was addressed by Senior Class President, Todd Pennington and Four County Joint Vocational School classmate Mary Garrow. Fred Duncan, a community member, urged the graduates to decide if they would “make choices” or “take chances” with their lives and futures. Selections were performed by both the full band and chorus. Senior choir members dedicated a special song, “God Bless The U.S.A.” to their fellow classmates. Graduates were presented their diplomas by the five Board Members. With much excitement, they changed their tassels and tossed their caps jubilantly. 30 Graduation
