Moving on just as Leon- ard Skynyrd says in Free Bird is what every high school student has to do. Ei- ther on to Harvard or on to be a professional belly dancer. lt's You Still Remember e? too bad we can't stay in high school forever. The graduating class of '81 will always leave an impres- sion on the school. They brought top honor students, sport champs, and the most creative individuals with them. With Valedictorian Dave Frey and Salutatorian Paul Kitaka speaking on behalf of the class, memories of favorite teachers, friends, sport cham- pionships, proms and aca- demic excellence throughout the four years rang in every- one's mind as special. These were special memo- ries and so was this gradu- ation, because this year it took place at the Foellinger Outdoor Theatre in Franke Park. Backstage sat 242 ner- vous, happy seniors adjusting I Y W-I 3 their tassles and saying their last goodbyes to friends. Short sentences like this is it , or we did it , filled the air backstage before the big mo- ment at 8:00. Graduate Mary Hause stated, I can't believe we're actually graduating! Graduation was a happy moment, even if you did see some people shedding a few tears. Senior Elaine Horstman said after graduating, I wish I'd stop crying, but I can't. Getting prepared for gradu- ation itself was just as impor- tant. There was the practice in the auditorium, where you wound up next to the person you've had your locker next to since kindergarten. Next there was a senior breakfast in the cafeteria. Hopefully no loose marbles came rolling your way this time!
