76 h mamENT BEFDRE by Melanie Dlockwell Ir was a warm afternoon and the seniors, dressed in jeans, shorts, and hair curlers, were everywhere. Laughter rang out of the chaos as students milled around waiting for someone to take control. Slowly the banner with the class motto token from Rev. Jesse Jackson ' s speech was raised to the top of the stage of Memorial Hall and suddenly it was not just an ordinary school day. This was Graduation Day and in a few short hours Commencement would begin. Quickly the seniors found their sears, practiced mar- ching and receiving their diplomas, and then rushed home to get ready for the real thing. By 7:45 everyone had returned to Memorial Hall and along with a change in dress, there was also a change in atmosphere. The laughter was a little more sub- dued as the tension grew, and the realization set in that graduation was almost here. Teachers pinned on collars and straightened mortar boards as parents snapped pic- tures and friends reminisced about memories of school. At last everyone was in line and names were checked and tissues were passed out for drippy eyes. All too soon the music began and with straighten shoulders and heads held high, the Seniors of 1983 stepped forward for this was Graduation Day. 1.
