After Diane Emery delivered the valedictory address, each senior had his spot in the limelight as his name was an- nounced. Diplomas were issued to the seniors and immediately, the tassels were switched from one side to the other, signi- fying accomplishment. As the last graduate was seated in the stands, patience was shattered - caps were hurled into the air as hugs and tears of joy flooded the stadium.
