' n Mi X7 We Made It Through The Night he question is popped, the smile 7 appears, and the answer is replied. Weeks of planning occur: Picking colors, choosing the tux, finding a dress. Waiting for it (prom) was my biggest frustration; commented Traci Werner. Styles range from short, long, tight, full, sexy, conservative, tails, dinner jacket but always include flowers, bowtie and a garter. I was worried that my tux wasn ' t even ready exclaimed Rob Perkins. The romantic dinner sets the mood and is carried on throughout the evening. Just You and I established the theme for the ' 87 prom at Celebrations Unlimited. The garter has been removed, all the pic- tures taken and the last dance of the evening just finished; We made it through the night.

( fULduatc(M X7 » Stepping into a new world unday, May 31, to T many of us, was the beginning of yet another fun- filled summer and moving a step up the ladder at LaSalle. But to 309 graduating Lions, it was the beginning of a challenge; the challenge called life. And, with that came new responsibilities, and the end to best times at the Lion ' s Den. With flowing red and black gowns, tilted caps, and anxious faces, the seniors strode, one by one, into the stuffy gymnasium, ready to be met with the proud faces of friends and relatives, who were eagerly anxious to be able to say You finally made it. And as the speeches con- tinued, and the Battle Hymn was performed, emotions be- gan to play a part inside of our graduates. Tears filled up in their eyes, as they real- ized that some of the friends they ' ve made in the past four years will be going down sep- arate roads, and they will not meet during the day to day life at L.H.S. anymore. But even smiles light up, as the adventures left to the future are finally becoming part of reality. Holding the red, leather bound diplomas, the seniors realized exactly how final the moment was. Several had mixed emotions about the ceremony that lasted a mere 75 minutes. And, for the class of ' 87, a general statement about graduation can be made. Graduation, is a wonderful time. It is a meeting of the past and the future, a time we think fondly of days that are gone, reflecting on the memories. It is a time to look forward to with hopes and with plans, and to wonder about days to come. Gradua- tion is the joy of a dream come true, and one that has just begun. As the recessional played, the graduating class of 1987 walked through the doors of L.H.S. for a final time, to go forth and celebrate their ending, and look forward to a new beginning. — Louise Hold After completing tour years of high school, Catherine Watson and Terry Dokey stand at the top of the class. Catherine was valedictorian with an overall grade point average of 4.0 and Terry was a salutatorian with a 3.9. 24 Student Life Graduation ' 87
