1980 The Commencement ceremonies for the 1980 graduat- ing class took place on Monday, May 19, at 8 p.m. at Vet ' s Auditorium. But the actual activities at Vet ' a had begun around 7 p.m., when the graduates-to-be started gathering in the basement of Vets. This scene could easily be summed up as utter nervous chaos. It was a time when seniors were trying to remember what homeroom they were in, girls were trying to look appealing with those unflattering hats on their heads, boys were trying to act like they didn ' t care . . . As usual, Mrs. Hyde and Mr. Curnutt managed to cor- ral the group and get them arranged in a civilized man- ner. The band played the ceremonial prelude as the seniors marched in. Then Principal Bruce Gardner welcomed ev- eryone. This year ' s speaker was Mary Louise Smith, former na- tional chairman of the Republican Party. Mr. Earl Bridgewater, Executive Director of Personnel, presented the class for graduation, and over 350 seniors received their diplomas, representing 12 years of hard work. This thinti would be a cinch if it weren ' t for this stupid hat! ■ •«•«■ . i • i n • . j xclaims a frustrated Randy Gates. J ohn Kalainov, president of the Senior Class, presented Mr. Gardner a plaque in honor of his retirement. Susan Guthrie, winner of the Cress Hoyt award, was announced. Mrs. Hyde and Mr. Curnutt find the graduates very funny looking in those hats.
