BIDDI G GOODBYE TO THEIR I-IALLS OF REIG The quest began twelve years before, the intimate planning began months ago, the night had arrived, the quest was real- ized as the diploma was presented to each graduate of the year 1983. The evening of June 3 was truly a magi- cal night. The coliseum was filled with graduating seniors, underclass supporters, teachers, parents, and the administration. The night, balmy and promising, marked the end of twelve years of education as children and also denoted the beginning of adulthood, of responsibilities, and of col- lege, or perhaps the entrance into the We Made lt! - These senior faces reflect that gradu- ation is a truly joyous occasion. 12 Graduation working world. And the seniors sat in their caps and gowns with their tassels hanging to the right. They sat for the last time as the class of 1983 - the last time as a family. As each received his diploma, he felt a sense of accomplishment and of undeniable pride. They stood together, with fingers out- stretched, and sang finally the alma-mater of Greensboro Senior High. Their tassels hung to the left, and each smiled sadly with tears in their eyes. They were the graduat- ed class of 1983.

WE'VE GOT TGNIGI-IT Aside from graduation and being a senior the most elaborately planned, most eagerly awaited event of one's senior high years is the junior-senior prom. lt is the one time when people could real- ly take it to the limit in dress, curfews, and partying. ln preparation at least, the prom was a more elaborately planned affair for the girls than the guys. After receiving the invitation, thoughts turned to the single most important detail of what dress to wear. Every girl at Grimsley was surely searching for a glorious Cinderella dress that would make her dreams come true. The young men chose their tuxedos, select- ed corsages, and saved money for their din- ners. All dressed up and somewhere to go, couples joined each other at Bryan Park for a night of romance and of fun. Each couple shared a special dance to the tunes of Ca- bacus, the band, at the 1983 prom. They had the night and after dancing 'til dawn, couples kept it alive by going to ears ly morning breakfasts. Afterwards all that was left were memo- ries of candlelit dinners and of one's head against a muscular shoulder or perhaps the feel of one's hands on a small waist, faded flowers pressed in an age-old memory book, and the evening of ones' senior prom. Taking it easy - Beth McCracken, Scott Smith, Beth Lucas, and Alan Atwell take a load oft their after a night of fun. t--5 fee ang -Q.,
