Dear Diary, As I sit here and write about my final chapter of childhood, I think of all the wonderful memories I have. This past year has been so overflowing with events that, at times, I feel like an overstuffed suitcase. The best memories, though, were of graduation. The senior assembly was so sad because it was my final goodbye to my school — my childhood. But, the whole class danced away their sorrows at the big Saturday night Senior Prom . It was so unusual to see my everyday chums dressed to kill. Sue Ballard, our class president, knocked them dead in her romantic for- mal. Every so often, people would take a break by the fountain and sit and talk. Many of my friends such as Doug Stuart, David Johnson, Cheryl Thomas, Denise McCain and Sharyn Malachi were there quite frequently. They must have been exhausted from dancing. I also saw pretty Trade Spear with her escort Kim Miller. Everyone looked great! The Prom was fun, but after was a bit more true to form. The following Sunday afternoon was Baccalaurete. Everyone was quite subdued. I started to wonder if it was caused by the solemn ceremony or the other things from the night before. Then came the final ceremony. Commencement exercise is held in the McMorran Arena. This is our final link with childhood and what a way to go! Amidst excited chattering, hugs and kisses, we close this chapter of our lives. Well, Diary, now it is college, or maybe marriage, or maybe I ' ll bum around. I can ' t believe I ' m a high school graduate. I will miss you, PHHS! GRADUATION Graduation 5
