This is it 1985 Is Here The Senior Class's last two weeks of school were chalked full of activities. The two most important being the Sen- ior Trip and, of course. Graduation. For their Senior Trip the class, Mr. Quilhaugh, and Patty Adamek motored to Bandon where they went to the beach and spent the afternoon playing in the waves and strolling along the beach. By five o'clock the group was terribly hungry, as usual, and moved on to the Boatworks where they ate, as their advi- sor Kerry Quilhaugh said, the best meal of their lives. From Bandon they drove to Coos Bay to see a movie. On May 31, 1985, a little before eight o'clock the seniors sat in the library ner- vously awaiting graduation. Then Mr. Rollofson came in and said, Let's go. The seniors, the girls in pink carrying pink roses and the boys in burgundy, hesitantly marched into the gym. The ceremony only lasted an hour, but it seemed like a lifetime. Salutatorian Gretchen Stauffer and Valedictorian Kelle Adamek gave their speeches, Wen- dy Click sang We've Only Just Begun , Curt Beckham delivered the Commence- ment Address, and finally Noble Ada- mek handed out the long-awaited diplo- mas. The graduated seniors then walked off the stage; and, before lining up to receive their congratulations, they all hugged each other in joy, because they had done it!
