. ----. -vv --wg..n-.u.m g This yearls senior class was ready to g i get out into the world and on their 3 own. uWetve waited a long time? Sharon Bralner sighed, llbut it a e seems like these past four years ; have all gone so fastft Preparing for It graduation and having fun during ' their final year of high school kept them pretty busy. .1 The seniors were a very unique 4 class, having developed various l H techniques to make schoOl exciting :f and spontaneous. More students attended the vocational technical school than ever before. Having diverse interests, the class was usually divided about the direction in which they were going. Many seniors felt that the only time the'class was united was during the football season. tlAlmost all the guys in the class played, and the girls came to the games to show their support. That,s the only time during the year that we were really together? commented senior 7 . w'h'EKf'; . W, ' -- 't-.a ---u.. wry em . Look Out World! Ronny Michael. Many of them enjoyed driving trucks and going to 199, others wanted to play sports, some would rather study, and a few managed to do all of these things. But whatever the seniors enjoyed doing, they seemed to have one thing in common - they were going to miss all their friends at school, although they were ready to try life without high school and meet new and different people.

We Honor Graduates Senior Trip remained only a memory. Exams completed. An- nouncements all sent out. Gradua- tion clothes bought. Mortarboards tried on for the tenth time. Tuesday morning, May 19 at 8:30 am was the first time to put on the caps and gowns and process as a graduating class. The occasion was the school Mass celebrated by Fr. Dan Drinan of the Ecumenical Center at SMSU with the student body in atten- dance. Fr. Danls homily was so appropriate for the graduates as he talked about fears and joys of this transitional period of life. He was humorous and thought provoking as he related many of his feelings fifteen years earlier when he was a graduate. Following Mass the seniors took off their caps and gowns and took off for the cafeteria. The mothers of the class along with Mrs. Margaret Collins and her staff prepared a scrumptious breakfast of scrambled eggs, sliced ham, orange juice, assorted rolls fresh from the oven, fried potatoes, coffee and milk. After breakfast Sr. Raynald assist- ed by the senior sponsors, Mr. Moncher and Mrs. Meese distribut- ed momentos. One more activity before a free afternoon - practice for the big nights. So for about an hour details were worked out and rehearsed for Baccalaureate and Graduation. One could feel the tension begin to mount as the end grew so much nearer. Upper right To the words of Holy Hon Holy the graduates show reverence as they raise their voices in song.
