Graduation! June 3, 1982 On June 3, 1982, at 6:30 p.m. frantic seniors will be seen rushing back and forth trying desperately to look like mature adults about to receive their di- plomas. lt's graduation night! It will be a night solely dedicated to the first graduating class. At the present, some seniors are wondering if they will graduate, but they will all pull through in the end. Graduation means different things to different seniors. For some, it is the end of a long hard struggle, while for others it is only the beginning! As some people seem to think, caps, gowns, invitations, and senior keys do not turn up by magic. The acquiring of these materials involves mea- suring heads, standing on tip- toe to judge gown lengths, and wondering how much is this go- ing to cost?! After graduation all seniors will agree that the end justified the means. We sincerely hope that all seniors will graduate and go their own way with fond memo- ries of their alma mater, for without them we would not have this firm foundation on which to build a legend. Rubena Hawkins checks to make sure that Darryl Robinson's graduation robe is the proper length while Beth Bussey and Denise Alkema wait for their turn. EDNA MARIE BRODIE JAMES F. BROWN KIRK M.

Band Members Honored One of the highlights of our band program last year was the enthusiastic attempt to raise money for new band uniforms. The uniforms were bought and were delivered just in time for the Homecoming game. Now that the marching Thor- oughbreds are dressed for the occasion it is time to place a couple of its members in the spotlight. Last year Mr. Kitchings, the band director, picked two rising seniors to apply to the McDon- ald's All-American High School Marching Band. These two sen- iors, chosen on the basis of their band honors, were Marie Brodie and Marilyn Heider. Their applications were sent to the committee who chooses the band members and a reply 34j Seniors was soon delivered to our school. Marie, unfortunately, was not chosen to audition, but Marilyn was. Since Marilyn was chosen to audition, she had been sent a piece of music which was to be played on her trombone into a tape recorder and the tape sent back to the committee. Unfortunately, Marilyn, also, was not chosen to be in the band, but she re- ceived a lovely letter from them, all the same, congratulat- ing her on her honors. We are all very proud of Marilyn and Marie's achieve- ments and wish them to know that even though they were not chosen to be in an All-American band, to us they will always be in the winner's circle. Marilyn Heider waits with anticipation before she enters the practice room to record her trombone solo for the McDonald's All-American High School Band. Y-N.
