A Time To Remember mace bearer-rising senior class president, Maria Chesley, the pro- cession marched majestically in two single file lines almost in time to the music. Junior Marshalls, no doubt restless themselves finally rose to the call of duty and escorted the graduating seniors to their seats at the center of the gym. Sym- bolic light blue hoods were worn by members of the National Honor Society. As the seniors filed in, some grinned broadly others ap- peared sedately dignified with a bit more to show for 4 years worth of well-earned knowledge.

An occa- sional whoop cracked the air possi- bly serving to release the brim- ming, pent up emotions felt by ev- ery senior attending. The ceremony commenced with the audience still standing as senior class chaplain, Kristen Cobbs read the Invocation which was followed by the National Anthem.

Finally, Mr. Elliot pronounced the Class of 1985 graduated. Embraces and tears of congratulations pervaded among the elated seniors. Having complet- ed a significant step of their lives — one of impassable growth and the search for greater understand ing — these seniors were prepared to begin another yet budding stage of their lives.
