MAKE WAY—Here comes the fearless director, Stephen C. Vamell, to lead the band down the streets of New York. RED LIGHT!—Even a stop light could not delay the Devil banner.

Taking final step May 28, 1982-the day that the seniors of the class of ‘82 nave spent thirteen long years working towards. When that day finally arrived, they all wondered where the time had gone. On that day in May the graduates of ’82 marched across the Civic Hall stage for the final time to receive diplomas. This year’s procession marched in to the traditional strains of “Porno and Circumstance,’’ olayed by the RHS symphonic bancl and directed by Band Captain Steven E. Purtee. Speaking for their class were Bernie Price—“Together We Will,” John Miller-“But Once,” and Angela Brown—“An Ending and a Beginning.” These three students auditioned and were carefully chosen to receive the honor of speaking at the ‘82 commencement. As commencement ended and graduates switched tassles on their mortar boards to the “alumni side,” these former students prepared to make their entrance into ‘ the real world.” GETTING READY—Anxious seniors line up before making their final march. SENIOR SPONSORS Lanny Wallem and Betty Cordell make sure graduation stays on course. FINAL NOTE—Senior Concert Choir members perform a final song during Honors and Awards. THANKS!—Robby Rodandcllo proudly shakes hands with Dr. French after receiving his diploma. PARTY TIME—Graduated seniors enjoy a post-commencement party. Graduation 17
