A Night to Remember May 9, 1981 was a frantic day for many of the juniors and seniors. The day was spent in pre- paring for the big night ahead of them, the Prom. When the couple arrived at the school, they got in line to have their pictures taken by Brad Affolder of Affolder Photography. Then the job of finding the right table began. Once the table was found, the couples sat around waiting for the meal that was catered by Poplar Restaurant. Following the meal, the group moved into the auditorium for the movie, The In-laws. Upon conclusion of the movie, the couples moved once again into the cafeteria area, which had been cleaned up by the French I class, and waited for the dance. Ice Age, a band out of Indianapolis, was the featured group. At the same time, Pete Carlson, a Christian contempo- rary singer gave a concert at the First Missionary Church. The rest of the evening was up to the couples; some called it a night, while other went to var- ious parties at friends ' homes. For everyone, it was a night to be remembered, THANKS JU- NIORS! a big smile on her face, Janet slovr nces with Roger during one of the slower ngs that the band played.

There was the usual procession- al of Pomp and Circum- stance, the normal number of camera flashes and smiles, and the traditional crying in the commons after the ceremony was ever. The speeches given by class president and valedictorian Greg Bich brought smiles to many faces as he spoke of the football game with that team five miles north. Greg also pointed out the bad times such as the coal strike and the green bananas. Remembering these MEMBERS of the senior choir sing for the last time at their commencement. WITH a look of pride, Bill and Lisa walk out together after the ceremony. particular occasions brought laughter to the graduates. Along with the reminscing, there was a growing fear of the world that lay just outside the walls of the school that had been their home for the past four years. Seth Scholer, Stu- dent Council president, spoke of reaching for goals, saying the sky is the limit. With the ceremony almost over, the class moved their tas- sels, symbolizing their gradu- ation. While walking out, the class had a feeling of pride but also began to realize that this would be the last time they would be together as a class. Tears flowed freely as friend hugged friends promising t( keep in touch. An aura of adulthood sur rounded the senior class Would they be able to stanc alone and face the challenge that faced them?
