mVVK! MB imt The senior year of high school is one of the most enjoyable years in a person's life. It is also one of the hardest years in a person’s life. With the joy of being the head of high school and close to being through with it, seniors notice that they will not ever be together as a group after graduation. Because of this, Class Night and Baccalaureate are special events for seniors. Happy Days was the theme for Class Night, Mark Foster as the Fonz. Sandra Dee (Sandra Parker) willed the underclassmen the senior pride. Sherry Neufield reminded everyone of the childhood years, while Toni Keeton led us through the future. Kara Friesen read Susan Helton a poem suited for the class of 86. In years to come it will never be the same, for everyone goes separate ways. By: M. York SUCCESS.

THE LAST REWARD: Brenda Wichert receives her diploma during commencement. Photo By: N. Wichert May 23 donned bright and glorious. As the senior class that was about to take a giant step in their lives slept, the junior class arch bearers busied themselves gathering roses. By 10:00 a.m., however, all the seniors appeared at the gym for commence- ment practice. After prac- tice many seniors went home to entertain family. Some, though, went to work their last day as “high school students.” Finally 7:15 p.m. rolled around, and the graduating class began to report in. Many could be found tear- ing into gifts and having a few last words with fellow students. With the beginning chords of Pomp and Cir- cumstance” the seniors started down the aisle. As the evening proceeded, emotions began to run ram- pant, not only through the senior class, but also through the audience. As Mark Foster and Alana Gunsaulis sang the song “Friends” many members of the class were hit by the realization of what they had been told all along. They would never be all together as a class again. Through the tears, Kara Friesen gave her speech as Co-Valedictorian. The other Valedictorian was Sherry Neufeld. Susan Helton, Salutatorian, had given her speech earlier. After Kara's speech, the seniors re- ceived their diplomas and were dismissed. As they hugged friends, loved ones and each other in the traditional after- graduation fashion, they realized that even though they might not always have each other to hold on to, they would always have memories.
