' e Said Hello, Goodb e' PQQI 4 f 'I e said hello, goodbye. The theme of the graduation ceremony was sketched on the program by senior Pat Douglas. The Foellinger Outdoor Theater was filled with friends, family and relatives of the seniors. At 6:45 p.m., some seniors arrived in limousines to spend their last night as a class. After the processional was completed, senior Lisa Sarpa opened the ceremony with the invocation. Then speeches were given by valedictorian Scott Ormsby, and salutatorian Mary McCracken. After the diplomas were distributed, the slide show concluded the ceremony. The seniors filed off the stage holding candles, diplomas, and yellow roses. We left a pretty good impression on the school, said senior Ron Buskirk. After Dr. Spittal announced that the seniors had met their requirements, he congratulated them. On cue from McCracken, they turned their tassels and walked down the aisle while the crowd cheered. It wasa special event that I'll never forget, said senior Doug Schenkel. Most seniors thought about high school as they left the ceremony saying goodbye to their friends and hello to a new life. lj By Christine Schleeter rf WITH LOVE.

In these next 14 pages, that is exactly what we plan to do. The Retrospect staff decided that it was high time for a time out. We wanted to break away from the normal routine of the yearbook and create a section different from all the rest--a magazine section. Senior pranks and skip days were organized breaks from the usual school day. Movies provided a break for some students from the weekly routine of classes and studies. l went to movies for the popcom, said senior Shelly Grim. Stereos, jam boxes, walkmans, radios, and tape recorders provided a break from studies and work. Different styles of music and various singers could be found to satisfy every taste. Listening to music was an enjoyable time out for most students. 28 Senior Superlatives In order to afford an occasional movie and new music, some students found it necessary to get a job. Jobs were a money-making time out from school. Job possibilities ranged from car washes to grocery stores. I worked at Peaches to get money for college, said senior Steve Crago. The news, both national and local, was an informative time out from school that affected everyone. AIDS, farmers' crisis, Phillippines uprising, spaceshuttle Challenger's fatal launch, Summit peace talks, Russia's nuclear meltdown, U.S. bombing Lybia, arms race, Star Wars, and President Reagan's cancer operations were just a few issues that made the headlines of many papers. I think that it's important to know what's going on and be kept informed, said senior Tereasa Bangert. New fashions were a break from much of the clothing that was popular last year. Forenza shirts, floral patterns, Gasoline and Guess jeans, Reebok tennis shoes, plastic jewelry, and Coca-Cola shirts were some of the new fashions that came out during the year. Spiked hair with mousse was a favorite hairstyle for some students. Weekends provided a time out from most people's weekly schedules. Rest and relaxation were the primary goals of the weekend for many students. The new teenage nightclub, Rock America was a popular place to go for dancing and fun on the weekends. A variety of time outs were available to students throughout the year. Music, movies, weekends, jobs, fashion, and news were just a few things that were a break for students throughout the year. They are covered in the following pages--a time out from the usual yearbook format. D By Janelle DeMond
