1. Dan Clark and Cheryl Biathrow, both band musicians since freshman year, perform for the last times as members of the Fermi band. 2. A clenched fist clues in on how much Celeste Amaral is glad at having finished her time at Enrico Fermi. Joining her in celebra- tion is Russ Constantine. 3.

Ken Andersen has some thoughtful words of his own as he bows his head during the invocation. 2 After graduation, the Fermi years are over. The school now has to get along without the class of ' 86. For the graduates, graduation is a symbol of the beginning of an independent life; no longer will we have the shelter of a high school covering us. As each of us leads his of her own life, let’s not forget that we do share common foundations from our days at Fermi High. In this sense, we’re one. And if we become frustrated with life, let’s remember all we’ve achieved at Fer- mi and set it as an example of growth. Let’s not give up on faith or hope. Good luck, and farewell.
