Preparations for the May 2 prom date began months earlier in March with plans for a special night at the Amfac Resort Hotel. They had four or five nights just to fold the jackets for the records, said Amy Harvey, junior. Committees were formed in order for the entire Senior Class to get involved in preparation for prom, said Mrs. Becky Allen, senior sponsor. Final set up for prom did not begin at the AMFAC until the morning of prom. Colors of peach, silver, and blue pastels were arranged to carry out the theme as the tables were set in place. Souvenir glasses were also set out for each of the couples. At long last, the evening began at 6 p.m. with the taking of pictures of couples in a gazebo. Each girl was presented with a silk rose as she entered. Dinner began at 7:30 p.m. with presentations by Mr. Steve Baker at 8:30 p.m. After the dance, prom came to an end. lt was a great success, and a beautiful evening for everyone, stated Mrs. Allen, sponsor. I think everyone who attended really enjoyed the evening, she commented. BACK IN BLACK, Phillip Robertson and Regina Roberts enter the Senior Prom. .g C2 Senior Prom

On Saturday, May 30, 1981, 457 graduates awaited nervously at Moody Colisseum to receive their diplomas. There were 89 honor graduates and 366 regular graduates. After taking their proper seats, graduates awaited their diplomas. While waiting, they heard speeches from Principal Gary Reeves, Dr. Eli Douglas, superintendent, Fthonda McDowell, class president, Carl Wester, salutatoriang and Charlie Hausman, valedictorian. Then the moment finally came and the honor grads were first to receive their diplomas. lt was really exciting for me as I received my diploma. It made me feel like I had achieved success, stated graduate Heidi Satchell. Many graduating seniors sang the alma mater with tears in their eyes as the exercise was completed. At the conclusion of the two and a half hour formal ceremony, graduates parted to receive congratulations from parents, friends, and fellow classmates.
