or twelve long years the monotonous routine of going to school had seemed to become an al- most life time job. Most had waited for that grand moment when they would walk out on the Football field for the last time and receive that piece of paper that would open the door to a world of opportunities and reward them for their long years of hard work. Baccalaureate-Commencement exercises were held on Sunday June 5, 1988 on the Football field. The Football field was an array of black and gold capped and gowned boys and girls. Colorful beach balls sailed through the air knocking unaware student ' s caps off of their heads. While other stu- dents unexpectedly became the helpless victims of mischie- vous pranksters with squirt guns. Tiny bubbles could be seen floating about in the air and suddenly bursting; also flying in the air was orange silly string. Some adventurous senior boy also decided to have a little fun and sent his pants sailing through the air. “It was really great to see so many seniors getting so enthusiastic and making what is supposed to be a sad day into something that was fun and memora- ble, said senior Jennifer Cobb. Steve Allison was this year ' s Valedictorian and Theresa Kung was the Salutatorian. The senior class song was Here I Go Again . “Friends are friends Forever, was the class motto. A pink rose was the class flower and pink and black were the colors. Many of the girls thought the roses were pretty, but they were kind of cheap looking, was the comment made by several of the senior girls. The most immediate plans that the new graduates look forward to is-all the graduation parties. But, after all the hoopla and celebrating is over and done with it ' s time to get serious and make future plans if they haven ' t been made already about colleges, work, or going into the military. I plan to go to college in the fall. I’m kind of scared, but for the most part I ' m really excited. I think it will be great to meet and make new friends. I hope college is as much fun as everyone says it is, said senior Jennifer Schroeder. For the most part everyone was really glad to finally be out of school, but some felt a little sad about saying good bye. One anonymous said, “I ' m really glad to finally be out of school. I certainly won ' t miss all the homework, tests, or teachers, but I’ll miss all my friends. It was really sad on graduation because there were a few people I wanted to say good-bye to because their not staying in Griffith and I didn’t get a chance to with all the excitement and confusion after we received our diplomas. Seniors weren’t the only one ' s who were saddened by the day, those students who were being left behind were also saddened. I was really sad to see the seniors go. I had made so many new friends in the senior class and just as I had started to become close with some of them we had to say good-bye, said sophomore Kristina James. I ' m really going to miss the senior ' s too! But, I can’t wait till next year when I ' m a senior! It will be great! I can ' t wait for my grad, party I ' m already planning it. teasingly said junior Stacy Mahns. 26 — Graduation

ating. It is the ever complicated process of liking someone, going out with them, breaking up, and starting over again. This sometime hap- py, sometime heartbreaking cycle usually begins by the time one enters the junior or senior high. No one can for sure say which is the best age to start dating because each person is different. Some say dating at the age of twelve or thirteen is good because it gives one good experience for when one is ready for a serious relationship. Others would say to wait until one is fifteen or sixteen. By this time a person is more mature to handle situations such as breaking up. “Age fifteen or sixteen is best. I think at that age they’re supposed to learn responsi- bility. This age is when people start to grow up, become responsible, and are capable of making decisions, said senior Julie Lamprecht. Aside from the question of which age one should start dating, there is also the questions of: Should I date someone from another school? Should I date someone in the military? Or should I date someone from the same school? Long phone conversations, seeing each other only after school or on weekends is what can be expected when some one dates someone from another school. Students are mixed in their feelings on if dating a person from another school is good or not. I never got to see her and I never got to do anything with her. It ' s not really worth the trouble running around,” said junior JJ Boylan. Senior Kris Redar thinks dating someone from another school is an advantage. Your friends don ' t already have an opinion about him and you don ' t have to rely on what other people think.” Long distance romance is what they call it when your boyfriend girlfriend is in college or in the military. You can not see the one you like everyday. They can ' t always make it home for special occasions such as Prom or Birthdays. To call is usually long distance and to write-it takes too long to receive an answer. An anoymous senior said, The biggest disadvantage of having someone in the army is not having that person there all the time. You miss out on the “close- ness” you ' re supposed to share. You never know when the person is going to call or come home. When dating someone from the same school the advan- tages and disadvantages are about equal among most stu- dents. Advantage-you can see a lot of the person. Disadvan- tage-breaking up. Junior Tammy Whitfield said, One ad- vantage is because you can see him more often. One disad- vantage is when your fighting you have to see him when you don ' t want to. Senior Jenny Cobb said, You get to hold hands, see him and his smiling face all day. If you break up then there is a major disadvantage-you still have to see him. It ' s hard to get over someone when you have to see him after every class in the halls. Each person has his own idea of what kind of dating is right for them. Whether your loved one is close to home or far away most would agree the happiness and love outweighs all of the inconvenience, loneliness, heartbreak and disadvantages that dating can bring. c howing his girlfriend just how special she is junior Tony Casillas takes his girlfriend out for a night on the town. unior Earl Shreiber and his wl. girlfriend senior Tammy Childers mull over plans ,r the evening during some free time in class.
