Farewell Friends Marking the end of their high school life, the Senior Assembly honored outstanding graduates. But, somehow it also marked the beginning of a new, more successful life. Early that morning, Seniors were treated to a breakfast hosted by the Senior Class Sponsors. After eating, Seniors lined up with their escorts and proceeded into the gym. During the assembly, the student body lis- tened to their class history read by Kim Thomas as well as a special poem read by Vice President Marci DiRenzo from the Ju- nior Class. Many Seniors were honored with scholarships and awards from the school departments, colleges, and the community. Valedictorian Alan Donley and Salutatorian Kelly Hathaway were named. The highest honor presented to a Senior, ‘Graduate of the Year,’’ was given to Many Hamner for her outstanding lead- ership and scholastic achievements. She was given a standing ovation from the stu- dent body. At the culmination of the assembly, a tradi- tional ‘‘moving of the Junior Class’ to the Senior section took place. Juniors enjoyed some of the Senior Privileges for the rest of the day. Receiving the “Graduate of the Year” award, Mandy Hamner also receives a standing ovation from the student body. 22 Senior Assembly

Time Te Day Goodbye The Class of '84 held their Senior Banquet at Fanny's at the Holiday Inn on Broad Street. The night began as the Seniors were greeted by the Junior Marshalls. They then proceeded into the dining room where they were served an elegant dinner. After everyone had eaten all they could, the entertainment began. Mrs. Eggleston started off the events by singing, ‘You've Gota Friend,” Jennifer McCloughan add- ed her talent by singing, ‘‘Memories”, which bought a tear to many eyes. Enter- tainment was also given by the Seniors themselves as many decided to place their napkins on their heads instead of their laps. The Last Will and Testament was read by Mel A lexander and Jerry Ray, accompa- nied by many laughs from the audience. The faculty got their revenge when the Teachers’ Last Will and Testament was read. The night ended with many hugs and good-byes. Listening to the Last Will and Testament, An- drea Trammel and Keith Ochoa wait for their read- ing. Laughing at the Last Will and Testament, Seniors show their joyful attitudes.
