Oriental Affair Blackbelt, fortune cookies, and Noble Romans pizza all came together at the afterprom, which for the second year in a row was held at Astrobowl. As the students strolled in the entrance they were greeted by four custom officials. Every student received a passport to enter A Night in the Orient. As they promenaded past the officials they were then welcomed by oriental greeters. The greeters gave the girls fans and a fortune cookie while the boys received headbands and a fortune cookie. As the students strolled farther into Astrobowl they were in the midst of all the action. Bowling, games, picture taking, and socializing all awaited them. While the games were going on, many juniors and seniors were called to win a door prize. Some of the prizes included: gift certificates from various shoe stores, gas stations, and restaurants, photo albums, and various other items. There were other prizes but the students had to buy them with tickets. To win tickets in bowling they had to get a strike, spare, or hit down a colored head pin. If they accomplished any of these they were given so many tickets which could be used to buy prizes. Another activity that took place was eating. Noble Romans catered the afterprom with pizza and breadsticks. ''It was casual, said David Hancher. The food set my tastebuds on fire. I felt the afterprom was a big success. Astrobowl is the ideal place with a good atmosphere for the students. The parents did a good job organizing everything. I felt it was a great turnout. I got the impression the students really enjoyed themselves, said Principal Gene Genth. While dressed in appropriate clothes to go along with the theme “A Night in the Orient , Gary Clark and Tonya Ellis participate in the bean bag toss. Gary and Tonya pooled together 230 tickets to win a tiger blanket. Prom and Afterprom 25

The Beginning Of The End A girl tripped on stage during practice, while another leaped onto the stage to receive her diploma. One guy battled to keep his cap on during commencement while yet another shuffled up to the stage instead of walking. A guy passed out red roses to his fellow classmafes and the first row played musical chairs after receiving their diplomas. These were just a few of the incidents that marked the beginning of the end for the class of '86. The baccalaureate ceremony, held May 25, started with the class of 1986 marching in for the last baccalaureate ceremony at Hauser. The service will be discontinued due to lack of attendance and interest. During the next week seniors took their final exams while using water guns, radios, and fireworks to let off steam. On May 30, the class met in the cafeteria to make final preparations for their graduation. After the seniors were seated, Anne-Marie Ross and Amy Harker shared the duties of salutatorian. Their speech took the seniors back to when they were scared seventh graders and brought them through their high school years ending with memories of their last year together. As the class marched out, with diplomas in hand, they took with them the memories of six years of friendships, frustrations, and learning. TODAY’S OPPORTUNITY IS YESTERDAY’S DREAM AND TOMORROWS MEMORY ' «» Amy Harker and Anne-Marie Ross combine efforts to give the salutatorian's speech, about the memories of their years ot Hauser.
