Skies clear It was an overcast day for the 1 13th Baccalaureate Commencement cere- mony held outdoors at Donnell Stadium. The date, June 2, marked the final day that the spirited class of 1985 would be together. Although it began to rain lightly as the nearly 500 graduates marched before the large crowd of parents, family and friends, it soon stopped, minutes before the Rev. Franklin Kehres stepped to the podium to deliver the invocation. Starting at the right and moving clockwise, students wait to be called to the platform, Mr. John Celebrezze leads the processional, and, the graduates sing the Findlay High alma mater.

Tears and tassels The awarding of diplomas was an emotional event. Cameras flashed and cheers were heard as the graduates walked to the stage to receive their diplomas. As they switched their tassels to the other sides of their caps smiles grew on their faces. After the ceremony parents and friends crowded around on the field to snap pic- tures and offer congratulations. For many, it would be the last time they would share laughs, smiles and tears together. 26 Graduation
