Let ' s Dance! The 1988-89 Junior-Senoir Prom was definetly a Night on the Town. For those who attended it was a night to re- member. It was held Friday, April 28 at the Century Cen- ter. The music was provided by The Groove who proved to be a big hit. This year a man- datory dinner wasn ' t enforced, and students dined at the many restaurants around town. Vikki VanOverberg com- mented on the prom stating, I thought the Junior class did an excellent job with the decora- tions and the turnout was great. It was successful in bringing unity between the Junior and Senior classes. Mary McNeill feels, This was a big improvement over last year in making it a night to remember. Overall, the atmosphere of the Prom was perfect. The ro- mance, the friendships, and the unity of the evening will offer many memories in years to come. Mike Palmer was excit- ed about prom saying, It was truly the best Prom I had ever been to, and went on saying, It ' s the only Prom. 22 Prom

And It Was Over! For the Class of 1989, it all came to a close this year. Four years of high school at St. Joe culminated the evenings of May 24 and May 26, Bacca- laureate and Graduation, re- spectively. The senior Mass was held at St. Matthew ' s Ca- thedral this year. It featured a Homily presented by Bishop D ' Arcy and readings by mem- bers of the senior class. The Baccalaureate ceremony rep- resented the last time the sen- iors would be all together for Mass as a part of the St. Joe community. The graduation ceremony n pm u m took place at the Notre Dame A.C.C. and began with the tra- ditional procession of the sen- iors in front of parents and friends. The event started off with a prayer by Mrs. Jemie- lity. This was followed by speeches from the Saludator- ian, Don Cho, and the Valedic- torian, Adam Jones. Both speakers addressed the topic of the purpose of high shcool. Don mentioned the develop- ment of the inner self as the purpose, while Adam used Truth in the Bible to reveal the point of high school. Next, Mrs. Jane Syburg, the guest speaker, gave a speech on the attitudes of students on high school and education. After all this, the time final- ly came for the members of the Class of ' 89 to receive their well earned diplomas. One by one, the names were called and each walked up. And with a click of the camera, a flash of the bulb, and a cheer from the crowd, it was all over. Four long, hard, but enjoyable, years at St. Joseph ' s High School came to an end . . . and it was good! Trade-in.
