The Final Touch The GHS auditorium was filled with a sea of black and gold as 387 excited seniors impa- tiently milled around, waiting for the moment they had worked for throughout their high school career. Girls in gold nervously checked their caps and whispered to their friends as the guys shifted uncomfortably in their hot suits. Suddenly, with a signal from the front of the room, the processional began. The auditorium was filled wall to wall with parents, friends, and relatives of the class of 1987, waiting patiently for the ceremony to begin. There, parents watched the children they had raised from babies pass during the processional, looking more and more like adults with every moment. Seniors Jane Albright and Mark Henderson gave short speeches-they talked about having spirit and the rewards of hard work and know- ing what one wanted out of life. Then, speaker Barb Devena gave a memorable speech in which she described the class of 1987 as Special, Kind, and Compassionate. After another brief speech by Mr. Browning, the class of '87 was ready to receive their diplo- mas. This year's Graduation was special, said Senior Chris Hoenig. Not only because it was my own, but because the speakers were just excellent. They touched on a lot of different subjects and their messages really hit home. The class of 1987 was on their way into the world, to share their talents and to fulfill their dreams-to really make a difference. Mark Henderson 28 W Graduation t,l,,,.,. . . E
