Seniors make a last minute adjustments to caps, roses, and tassels as they await the line¬ up. So we each drug out a chair, and listened to directions. We were all cold, tired, and upset. I was trying to think of an easy way to tell all my relatives that they couldn’t come to my graduation. We all sulked home. Once home, I had lunch and began planning my last afternoon as a high school senior. I only found one problem, when to call all the party guests to tell them when to come over. Again, I looked out the window. Ugh. I started praying for the rain to stop. I had fallen alseep. I was now, as usual, behind schedule for my shower. It was 5:15, and WPRW still hadn’t announced. “Come on, announce it, you idiots’’ kept running through my head. I was in the living room; our graduation was outside! We were lined up; I remember I couldn’t even see the end of the line. We started the procession, and I recall we girls had to avoid the puddles. I’ll never forget how nervous I was trying not to trip, and get all the timing correct. And then it was over; I had graduated. The timing had been correct, no one tripped, it hadn’t rained . . .

For Homecoming, the senior class went to the year 2000 B. C., while the other classes and clubs took the traditional route to 2000 A. D. The uniqueness of the senior float was a determining factor in its sweep of the judges to take first place in the float category. This was just one of the many climatic moments of Homecoming Week. It was held October 19-24. Special events took place each day to raise school spirit for the football game and dance. Specific events were Hat Day and Opposite Sex Day, the latter of which was well-defined by Coach “Chip” Rohr’s costume. Blus and Grey Day was held on Thursday, to keep tradition. The bonfire was that evening, Together, the cheerleaders and band made enough noise to awake anyone in the area who had tried to get to sleep early. There had been a girls’ basketball game before the bonfire to start off the weekend festivities. Stringing streamers for the junior class float entry, Alicia Aadnesen works meticulously to try to make her class ' entry the best. Work on the floats had been interrupted by lack of ideas, rain, and even sabotage. The Civilized World 14 Student Life
