A final celebration June 8, marked the 114th Bac- calaureate Commencement ceremony and it was again held at Donnell Stadium. Despite the soaring temperatures and humidity, the ceremony was an emotional event filled with speeches from class members and musical selections from the choir. The speeches all centered around the theme, Dream Into Action. The day was exciting as the graduates readied themselves for o ne of the most im- portant days of their lives. Before lining up on the track at the stadium, the congratula- tions and good lucks were exchanged along with, perhaps, the final words among many friends. After the presentation of diplomas, Mr. Robert Shamp, principal, presented the class of 1986. And the roar of the graduates filled the stadium. The seniors' caps flew as the last official sign that all had officially graduated. At the right, the nearly graduated seniors wait to start the processional. On the opposite page, moving clockwise, school board member Mrs. Carol McMaster congratulates Mike Strunk as he receives his diploma, Tony Rofab hugs Katie Schojield following the ceremony, and, the class of 1986, toss their caps in ex- citement as principal Mr. Robert Shamp presents them to the audience.

Juniors, seniors enjoy festivities On May 23, the junior class council presented the 1986 prom, If You Leave. The dance was held from 8:30 to 12:30 at the Findlay College Stu- dent Union. The music was provided by A A Productions and featured a giant video screen which let the students watch and dance to the music. In accordance with the theme, If You Leave, hot air balloons were featured. Many small balloons were hung above the dance floor and a large, colorful balloon was displayed on top of the Union roof and donated by Findlay Ford. The hallways surrounding the courtyard of the student union were decorated with stars and glitter. And the courtyard itself provided the perfect getaway for couples as well as groups of students just wanting to socialize. For those who wanted a keepsake to remember the evening, a room decorated with flowers around a wicker chair set the scene for prom pictures. Desserts and snacks were provided by Saga Food Service, but of course not many students were hungry after dining before prom. To the surprise of all, the rainy day cleared and a comfortable evening provided a romantic at- mosphere for walks out- side and perhaps even a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The prom is a special night for all who attend, and this year's prom was no exception. 44L, . Prom 25
