r . . . And the promise ahead As th(! end of second stmiester approached, chatt(!r of the need- ed CPS credit, grathiation, tht; upcoming Senior Cruise and other post high school plans filhid the hallways and classrooms. College representatives made their annual appearances with the hope of recruiting students for their institutions. The Power of the future and suc- cess could be seen on the faces of all graduating seniors. Paying final fees, receiving caps and gowns, junior-senior prom, Grad night and other ac- tivities would be remembered by everyone spending their last year in high school. Friends would be missed when it came time to go away to college, but new goals and friends were waiting to be met. Promenading down the center aisle of Bayfront Center was a dream thought of since grade school. A great sense of ac- complishment was felt by all who entered the Bayfront Center on June 6 at 9 am. It would be a day and time not to be forgotten by any senior who paraded in front of thousands of family, friends, and teachers. Donned in Red and Blue, smiling faces and walking as a proud patriot would, hearing cheers that filled the stadium, the Power Behind ' 85 made their final appearance as seniors of Pinellas Park High. The most Powerful ' class to seniors at PPHS was CPS. A- id the teachers that would never be forgotten were Mr. Joe Toumey and . ' . Ralph Egolf. They were infamo) for their most unique teaching techniques, and were definitely Ir cd by all! POWER BEHIND ' 85 293

Saying flnal Good-Byes on the last day of school was an annual event. While summer would mean vaca- tions, work and other pastimes, it would never mean the end of the Power Behind the Pride. That Power would be as obvious the first day of the ' 86 year, as it was every first day before it. Only the beginning The 1985 school year was the end for graduating seniors, but was only the beginning for everyone else. Nervous freshmen were finally able to relax in their h igh school environment, awaiting the day they would no longer be the youngest. Sophomores anticipated the time they could be as cool as the junior classes before them. While the juniors made their plan of attack as the senior class of ' 86. As the seniors departed with tear-stained eyes and cheers of happiness, the new freshman class quietly prepared to enter their new domain. They would be picked on as all the classes before them, but they, too, would some day be the graduating class. Awards were there to be won. Scholarships would be awarded. College offers would be ac- cepted, and each year a new and unique senior class would promenade down the Bayfront Center. And just as every class before and after hem, would know and reprr ent the true meaning of thr Power Behind the Pride. A. PRIDE WILL CONTINUE 295
