The perfect evening was planned. The dress bought, the tux ordered, the tables arranged, and excitement was beginning to mount. Then the disaster occurred. Angi Miller’s date, Mike Evans, called from out of town and was unable to attend the prom with her. With only three days left before the prom, she was frantic, but Eric Miller came to her rescue. Having broken up with his girlfriend, Kathy Harlow, earlier in the year, Eric was without a date. Though Kathy and Eric were back together, she had already made a commitment to John Shaw. Another person who found herself without a date was Karmin Oldham. She had the perfect evening planned with her fiance, Randy. But the engagement was broken off, so she asked a friend who happened to be a sophomore, Mike Tucker, but only after her dad had offered to fix her up with a friend's son. When Karmin asked Mike, he was noticed by other seniors, too. Rivalry between girls developed over Mike. How was an underclassman supposed to act when these girls paid attention to him and he already had a girlfriend. Other couples found themselves with the opposite problem. They had made commitments for the prom only to have their relationship end before prom time. The couples stayed with their original dates and went as friends. Mika Henderson went with her ex-boyfriend, Brett Pittman, though she was dating Tor-rey Miller. Brett was seeing Dena Wetzel, who was going to the prom with Scott Moore. Torrey escorted Nikki Keller, even though he had started going out with Mika. This could have been disastrous, yet each couple had a wonderful time. Gi Gearhart and Woodolf Point-Du-Jour were crowned queen and king. Nominations of candidates were made and voted on by the junior class. Prom and Aftcrprom 23

The almost graduated seniors applaud after everyone has received their diploma. The seniors' class motto was “What we are is God's gift to us; what we become is our gift to God. After receiving his diploma, David Law accepts the class flower, the rose, from usher Jacki Tanner. The seniors chose as their class colors black and red. Christi Selzer and Doug Meek walk in to the tune Pomp and Circumstance. Because many of the band members were seniors, the junior and senior high bands combined for this occasion. Glad that it’s finally over. Amy Broady and Kathy Harlow exchange congratulations. Amy and Kathy wore gold tassels for receiving academic diplomas. Mrs. Reynolds places a gold rope around Amy Broadys neck. The ropes were given to three seniors who earned Indiana Academic Honors diplomas. After an estimated 15,715 hours of school the final moment had arrived . . . graduation! The seniors reached this moment with some anticipation and some regret. We now have the chance to see what real life is about. I don't know if I'm ready for it or if I want to be ready for it, said Kelby Mathis. Other students reflected the same ideas as Kelby. I'm excited about graduating. I'm glad after thirteen years to finally be able to get out of here, but in a way I wish I could stay. commented Lisa Ray. It's strange to think that we all won't be back here, together, next week. Tomorrow who knows where we'll all be, said Sandy Embry. At the actual ceremony different people and groups participated to make the occasion memorable for the seniors. The junior and senior high bands combined to perform the traditional Pomp and Circumstance. The high school choir performed two pieces which were followed by the singing of Friends by the senior members. Dr. Cenofa Point-du-Jour from Haiti gave the scripture. He also expressed many thanks to the family, teachers, and friends that had helped his son, Woodolf Point-du-Jour, through his first year in the United States. The graduates expressed many different emotions. There were smiles, tears, and hugs. Jennifer Seim tried to express how she was feeling in her Valedictorian speech by saying, I think I'm feeling iust about everything. I’m scared; I'm happy; I'm anxious; I'm sad. I'm glad to be moving on. but there are a lot of things and people I don't want to leave behind. Graduation 23
