'Don't Stop Believin The floor of Hofheinz Pavilion was a sea of purple and gold forming a W to the strains of Pomp and Cir- cumstancef' The crowd was brought to its feet by the ex- citement and calmed only when Bill Reese, Salutatorian made his way to the podium to deliver the Invocation. After enthusiastic applause, a silence was formed over the crowd when Phyllis Chang's name was announced as the Valedic- torian for the Class of '82. You must find your dream and work hard to achieve it, Phyllis advised the Seniors. Then Mr. Ronnie Truitt presented the Seniors their diplomas. Not everything ran as smoothly as planned. For one thing, the carpet on the stairs was loose and everytime walked over it, it became disengaged. Scottie and Ricky Jankowiak tripped over the carpet. someone Jacobsen Tamara Jean Slater lost her shoe, and Debbie Sanders walked into a plant. Graduation also had its funny moments. Lillie Lewis waved her diploma over her head and ran across the stage shouting, I got it! Mike Slagle kissed Mrs. Smith while Scott Smith bowed. Ronnie Daniels skipped across the plat- form cheering on the seniors' enthusiasm, Todd McGee, despite crowd cries of, Turn a cartwheel, Todd! com- promised with turning his cap around, instead of tassel. Tina O'Farrell, the Senior Class President, delivered the Benediction. Then Kendra Leschper, Student Congress President, tearfully led the Seniors in the class song, which upon the conclusion, they threw their caps. The Jersey Village Band played the Recessional leading the Seniors out of high school and into a new life.

A Robert Gaidousek attempts to hold up a class with his water pistol The end of another year Paper-filled hallways, a skimpy snack bar and extremely happy or maybe even sad students were all signs of the end of school. During the last two weeks, everyone went just a little crazy. Senior Week gave those just about to enter the real world a last chance to be a little immature and very silly. Each day, during an- nouncements, Seniors were told how to dress and act the next day. As the week ended, some of the laughter died as things got more serious. Students could not understand how the Seniors could be so sad by be- ing given such relief but the Seniors had realized their time had come to break away from high school to go on to college or maybe a job, away from old friends. The following week was strange. Lunch was quiet, even dead, without the Seniors. Except for those taking exams, all that remained of them was the clock they had bought for the commons with their class money. Although everyone had waited so long for the last day of school, it came all too quickly. As usual, it was filled with craziness. Squirt guns were everywhere, the halls were covered with paper and everyone was leaving campus. The confusion of exams and schedules gave many students the opportunity to leave for lunch or the rest of the day. By the time the last bell rang, everyone was ready for summer. For the Seniors, it would mean the start of a new life, but for others it was simp- ly the start of another summer vacation! Q I A Sleeping, eating and playing cards were all ways to pass time for those exempt from exams. Closing --
