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. Vay to go Vhirliesi Carl Henry Geschwind's favorite expression exclaimed a final time as he addresses the graduating class. gg.-gg. , z. . me . '5ff3??s: ' R fwiffffzef ,. 'T' ' 5 fit?

No one wanted to go back to school when they could go to parties, to the beach, and to the movies without the hassle of homework and early curfews. Extended curfews meant another hour or two that was well spent playing video games, seeing the 8:45 showing of Risky Business, Flashdance, Trading Places, or spending time with that special person. Many people had summer jobs which cut into the time spent at leisure although it did provide the money for the fun. When funds were collected, the beach was the place to be - the warmth of the beach combined with the gorgeous sunning bodies made for a combination that was irresistible. Listening to the strains of Def Leppard's Pyromania or Flashdance's 'LOh! What a Feeling! was enough to make everyne for- get about school and cooler weather, but fi- nally the lazy summer days drifted away with all of its celebrationg and in its place stood the 1983-84 school year.
