ay 27, 1976. We arrived excited and expectant, gowns slung over our shoulders. We milled with friends, posed for quick snapshots and finally located our places in line. We waited impatiently to get started and make our mark in time. As we entered a hush fell over the auditorium. We felt a sudden pride as we marched our way down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstancef' Heads high and in the limelight, our performance began, We listened to the speakers and songs, constantly aware of our positions. Graduating Seniors. ln the years that lie ahead, may His love be your light. His strength be your courage and His blessings your joy. With this, we were ready to walk across for our diplomas. As our names were called, we received our diplomas. Along with the warm handshake and congratulations, we had a feeling of pride beyond words. Not to mention the elating thoughts of the whole new world at our feet. Four hundred fifty-four Bicentennial Seniors and one principal graduated. We paid a special tribute to Fred H. Matthys, Lanier's only principal, as he retired. We honored our own, as Richard Shepard was named Valedictorian and Terri Flock, Salutatorian Diplomas received. Pronounced graduates Tassels flipped. The tears began as we sang our own school song for the last time. Our gold and white will always live forever, the spirit of Lanier will always live. . The class yell- and it was over. It was an excitement beyond words or expression. No time to feel anything - so we felt everything. We hugged and laughed, hugged and cried, hugged and hugged. We wanted to explode. We felt power, elation, relief and strength all at the same time. We left gathering up our memories of Graduation Day, and set out for the future. The world could expect whatever it wanted from us - we were ready to live up to it.
