Seniors unite one last time at graduation Thursday, May 24, it happened. For seniors, twelve years of hard work final- ly paid off. It seemed like they would never make it, like all their efforts were useless. But that night, when the stands filled, they were recognized and praised and the crowd's cheers made the twelve years worthwhile. Planning for graduation began as ear- ly as April. First they ordered caps and gowns and placed their tassels in their cars to let everyone know they were mighty seniors. Next they ordered an- nouncements and mailed them off in early May. Thursday morning practice was held, and finally the night arrived. The graduating seniors met in the main building and helped each other with their caps. Seniors graduating with honors were recognized with NHS stoles and medals of honor for having a 90 average or above. After the ceremony, even though they were asked not to, seniors threw up their caps to show their excitement at having completed 12 years of schooling.

To The Class of 1985 For Seniors soon comes graduation, The ultimate excitement of high school education We're counting the weeks until the day That sets us free to begin life's play We're ready to leave oppressive school rule, The paper deadlines, and the homework gruel We look forward to leaving, to meeting new faces, To working, to college, or to seeing new places Alas, we don't realize we'll soon miss the friends, Who will be out of touch when this summer ends Maybe we'll see them once in a while, But with time the phone grows harder to dial We'll lead our own lives and go our own ways, And sadly look back and remember the days, When we all used to panic in Woodside's room, Knowing his test would bring us to doom When everyone skipped and went to the lake, Or awaited the fall of the first snow flake The night we beat Westwood and won back our bell The unity we felt during our victory yell The pride we felt in our volleyball and band, And the others that made this Dragonland May you look back on your memories in later years With a little smile and maybe some tears And anticipate the reunion of the '85 Class, And treasure forever your Senior Prom glass May you remember old friends with a happy smile, And recall these great years that made life worthwhile Kym Rodriguez Q x 2' 's
