It was about a derailment of a train outside an almost abandoned station. The pas- sengers from the train were forced to stay at the station all the dark and stormy night where there was no food or bedding while the train was being put back on the track.

Everyone’s excited 'Cause we got out at last. We all remember The days before youth, When we were rude and crude And totally uncouth; And how all the teachers Would make you be good And tell you to straighten up and act like you should. We remember the good times And all the friends that we’ve had. We’ll treasure the special times And we’ll learn from the bad. We've made many friends And we’ve lost a few. We were the best class This school ever knew, And everyone in it No matter what future he picks Will always remember THE CLASS OF '76’’!!!!!!! —Don Bebee The End Is Here; 34 Seniors For A New Beginning Top left: Pomp and Circumstance is played as the last graduate marches up the red carpet.
