Together in memory Seniors At Last The Class of 1985 has always been a close, hardworking group. They began their senior year with a meager seven students, five girls and two boys, but they soon gained another body in the form of Deb Mahan. With only eight people they managed to pull off a very successful Senior Ball and many other school activities. The Class of '85' have always partici- pated heavily in athletics and other school activities. Shelly Butler, Kelle Adamek, Gretchen Stauffer, Jackie Mor- gan, and Tina Russell all were members of the Volleyball and Girls Basketball teams. Tina Russell was also the only senior girl on the Track team. Also, Kelle Adamek was chosen to be a member of the Teams Northwest volleyball tour to China during the summer. Jack Lowery participated in football and basketball, and Kelly Johnson played basketball for the first time this year. The seniors also had much to offer the school in leader- ship. Gretchen Stuaffer became the first girl Student Council President in many years. To round out the student council participating by the seniors, Kelle Ada- mek acted as Student Council Secretary and Shelly Butler was Senior Class Re- presentative. The seniors are going to miss the school and friends they love, but even though they are going their separate ways the Class of '85' will always be to- gether in memory.

Work and pleasure The Last Dance The 1985 Senior Ball was quoted by Kerry Quilhaugh to be one of the best in years . The senior class adopted a western theme and centered their cre- ative efforts around it. Bails of hay were sculpted to create an arch for the Grant March. A ceiling-high backdrop with a cowboy and horse silhouetted in the sun- set was erected to set off the surround- ings. Cowboy boots and hats, saddles, and bandanas adorned the hay-arch that set their western theme alive. Lights strung in the rafters created a starlight effect. Pony Express, a country-rock band, played until the close of the even- ing. The Grand March was unlike any oth- er Powers has seen. The seniors and their dates paraded proudly through their self- made arch with The Tennessee Waltz playing softly in the background. The couples were illuminated in a soft red glow by lamps placed in various loca- tions. Donna Wassman, accompanied by Pony Express, sang the opening song, The Tennessee Waltz , while the sen- iors put their newly learned waltz to use. The nights the seniors spent decorat- ing until two o'clock in the morning had paid off. Their final ball was a success.
