Drawing to a Close The Class of 1985 Gives and Takes Memories Perhaps the most emotional moment of the ’84— ’85 school year to a senior was the moving of the tassle from the left side to the right side of their caps, symbolizing the end of thirteen years of school work. Together, they had sur- vived those years and all the happiness and sorrows they were faced with. In celebration of this achievement, the seniors held their prom at the SC4 student center. Officers of both the graduating and the upcoming senior class planned the details of the event together, and that Saturday morning, they all worked on the decorations. Class of ’86 President Pat Gates claimed, “The prom was a success, we all worked hard, but everyone enjoyed themselves.” The following activity was the senior assembly, preceded by four days of marching practice two hours a day to prepare for the activities coming up. The assembly, held on June seventh, was designed to honor those individ- uals who have been superior throughout their high school career. The class of ’85 paid a special tribute to the class members who were lost in tragic accidents. Wendy Wert sang the Diana Ross song “Missing You”, dedi- cated to Cheryl Pringle, Jeff Brown, and Administrator Tom Smith. “That song meant a lot to me. Not a single person in the gym listened with dry eyes.” said Rick Adams. The final ceremony to send the sen- iors on their way to freedom was Com- mencement. It was held on June elev- enth at M cMorran Arena. Judge Robert Spilliard gave an enthusiastic speech about how to become a success, a subject many parents in the audience benefitted from. After the ceremony the students turned in their caps and gowns, received their diplomas, and walked away. Indeed, they were walking away from a part of their life they will never forget. They survived them together as the Class of ’85! The former students will go on to be greater people, but we’ll never forget, and neither will they! Finally, the senior assembly! As fresh- men, sophomores, juniors, and staff looked on. 373 members of this graduat- ing class were paid tribute for their aca- demic achievements in their years of school from beginning to end.
