It has been said many times before ' Enjoy your senior year-it goes by fast! ' This year was no exception. Measuring for caps and gowns in January left feelings of sorrow and uncertainty about the future among seniors. There were many anxious hearts counting the days, but these hearts saddened at the thought of leaving Clark. Leaning more toward the religious aspect was the afternoon Baccalaureate ceremony. Graduation was the final step before the doors of Clark and high school life closed behind them. June 4 finally arrived, and all the ties were broken, The silent humming in the huge gymnasium set a tranquil background for the thought-provoking speeches of Valedictorian, Linda Navta and Salutatorian, Marylynn Samek. The Seniors have just emerged from four of the most wonderful, confusing and memorable years of their lives.
