NDW THE PRRTV BEGIN5 by Tommy Smith As rhe hors were rossed inro rhe Qir, shrieks of joy ond loughrer were heard throughout Memorial Hall Graduation was over! After thirteen years of public schooling, the Class of 1980 was given their reward along with a lor of hugs ond pats on the back, and sudden- ly they were alumni. For some there were rears of joy and for others there were sighs of relief, but for all of the seniors, there was an excitement of ending one phase of their lives and beginning another. Some would merely rest for the summer and prepare to enter college in the fall; others would immediately begin jobs thar are the beginning of a life- long profession. Still others would make plans for marriage or prepare to enter some branch of the Armed Forces. But tonight was graduation night and the future could begin tomorrow. Tonight was the end of an era and this was a time to party. So as rhe lights of Memorial Hall were finally dimmed, families and friends drifted homeward as the new graduates rushed off to Gradua- tion parries and one last fling with fellow classmates. 1.
