Homecoming 15 attended small dinner parties or went out to eat at nice restaurants, before they went to the dance. Many found their Stairway to Heaven,” which was the theme this year.

Prom, Graduation, Honors 17 fever funs Cut trying to prepare for tomorrow, but always remembering yesterday It was the time for all the activities the seniors had been waiting for. The students of M.H.S. began celebrating the minute the snow melted off the trees. But the majority of the seniors found time to spend with their class mates, for that “One last fling!” The 1977 Prom was a formal event that attracted many to the Lafayette Club, but not to the after prom, which had been cancelled because of lack of participation. We can’t forget Graduation. The day that all of the seniors had been waiting for twelve long years, finally came. Relief, happiness, excitement and fear were felt by the new graduates. All of these were a part of ’77 Graduation. So were honors. Students earned recognition for their outstanding abilities. A special night was devoted to these people, where they received honors and respect from the audience and M.H.S. So, you can see, when the snow starts melting away again, the seniors of Minnetonka High School begin to get the disease known as “Spring Fever.” Once it sets in, they seek new horizons and prepare for the many tomorrows.
