tailgates 1986 Graduation Com- mencement ceremonies were held at the University Harry Adams Field House. Reverand William J. Kliber delivered the commencement ad- dress. Don Lawston called roll, and Ruth Card and Julie Hacker presented the diplomas. The class of 1986 made their graduation special by some people wearing dark sunglasses, others wore weird clothes under their Knights To Romombor robes, and some even changed hats completely after receiving their diplomas. Tradition was even broken when some wore different color robes. Girls instead of wear- ing yellow, wore red and some boys wore yellow in place of the traditional red robe. The graduation ceremony was a chance for graduates, family and friends to reflect on their high school years, look to the future, and say some sad good-bye’s. Are we having fun yet? - graduates Katherine Biesemeyer, Brian Betts, Brett Bessac. Tammy Bertapelle, Brad Bernier, and Christine Berger await their turn to practice receiving their diplomas. Smile, it’s your day - Hellgate graduates are waiting to be told what to do for graduation practice. 6 Graduation Spring
