The 1979 graduation exercises commenced with Baccalaureate services held May 27. The processional was led by Mrs. RosaLee Stevens. Special music was presented by Mrs. Marylin Dickey while Reverends Hastie and Ferreira were the guest speakers for the service. Then the big event came the following Thursday, May 31, in the grade school gym nasium. Graduation was held with the larg est graduating class up to the time, 72 grad uating seniors in the Class of '79. Many hon ors were presented to the class members as they were seated nervously on the new stage area. The program then proceeded with special musical selections presented to the class by Madonna Williams and Kip Nelson and the Pawnee High Stage Band. Judy Aymer and Gregg Bandy served the Class of '79 as graduation ushers, while Kim Skinner and Dave Fenelon held the position of Gradua tion Marshalls. The class members as well as the school hated to bid one another fare well, but as the recessional sounded and the graduates started off the stage, each student sadly bade good-bye to the best years of his life and looked out to the audience and their future with hope and a smile.

We turn to each other with love in our heart And before we can help it, the tears begin to start. Most of us will carry out our education While others take a year's vacation. We don't know how far we'll go or, where well get, But we do know the memories of P.H.S. will be hard to
