Amid the tear and smiles the senior class of 1984 is participating in the Senior Assem- bly in the school gym. The assem- bly closed when the seniors filed out of the gym for the last time. With mixed emotions Julie Staiger, Brenda Herron, Jenny Andrewjeski, and Belle Beauvias lead the procession of seniors leaving Baccalaureate at Memori- al Stadium. The Baccalaureate ex- ercise was the second of three graduation ceremonies. Addressing the graduating class of 1984, Mr. Lyszak introduced the choir. The choir performed Sine Nomine” and “Every Val- ley”. After the Senior Assembly Dave Sickels and Jeff De Bell remove their gowns due to the eighty de- gree heat. 4 — Opening Photos Jeff Harrington

Let’s See It From Another Angle This year for the first time, RCA pro- vided us with the means of examining and reviewing all school activities at the touch of a button. Video mania swept through the halls, into the classrooms, and onto the sports field with the availability of RCA video tape recorders, big screen monitors, portable five hour recording systems, and portable or tripod mounted VHS cameras. In addition computers and computer learning centers were incorpo- rated into the business, industrial educa- tion, science, and math departments. The use of Instant Replay mechanisms has made education exciting and has made learning fun for students and teachers. New VHS equipment, a new photography darkroom, and new computer systems have brought our school a quantum leap into the 21st century. This yearbook is proud to reflect an Instant Replay of the exciting events captured in our replay of the 1984-1985 school year. 267645 PHHS an Instant Replay —

Over 3000 people attended the Baccalaureate activities on June 10th. Grads Grads Grads “Graduation was the culmi- nation of four years of high school and has always been an outstanding memory for those who participated,” stated Mr. Lyszak, assistant principal. For the graduating seniors, it was a dream come true. However, for the administra- tion, graduation can be a great logistical problem. Many details must be worked out to exact precision. These details include how many Seniors will be in the Senior Assembly and Bacca- laureate, and how to line up Seniors by height. Other details range from getting speakers to orate at Com- mencement, to renting the McMorran Sports Arena. Money must be raised to pay for speakers, workers, and decorations for the arena, and the actual rental costs of McMorran. Assistant principal Mr. Ufford feels however, “Because graduation is a school district activity, they should make the commitment to pay for McMorran.” Class sponsors Carol Ewald and Rebecca Falk breathed a sigh of relief when the graduation ceremonies ended. Both were pleased with the outcome. The Benediction for Baccalaure- ate was delivered by Rev. William T. Nichols of the New Hope Tab- ernacle. Rev. Nichols is the father of graduate Brian Nichols.
