ef. ,Q- dl X lx Tears of Joy and Sadness Accompany Graduation After what has seemed an eternity, graduation night finally arrived. When the Class of 1985 started school in the first grade most were excited about the new experience. Any apprehensions were soon forgotten as new friends were made and the world of knowledge was explored. By the time sixth grade arrived many began to wonder if the senior year would ever arrive. Grown-ups were envied because they didn't have to go to school. The long arriving graduation night began with the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance being played by the band. McNary gymnasium began to fill with red and white robed seniors who for one last time had gathered as a class. As the last diploma was handed out and the last tassel moved the doors of education at MHS would close. Even through the tears of joy and sadness most seniors realized that the piece of paper held in their hands would open doors to further education or to employment. In the not too distant future these some seniors who couldn't wait to get out of school may find themselves thinking as they see kids going off to school that it would be great to be a kid again. Thanks moml Darren Thompson lets his emotions rake over as he received a hug. For twelve years you get this. Richie Calhoun gladly accepts his diploma from school board president, Tom Murphy. Celebration time. Lori Lindley and Scott Sherrill celebrate graduation with fellow classmates. Amy Woodard expresses her joy that graduation is finally over. Anybody got a Kleenex? Deena Bishop wipes away o tear while Lisa Stinson tries to control her emotions after commencement was over.
