Night of memories The 1982 Junior-Senior Prom held at Mary Baldwin Ballroom on April 23 was very successful. The Juniors worked very hard to make this year’s Prom successful. The theme was ‘Castles in the Air” and the colors were pink and silver. The decorations were great and the Juniors worked hard on Thursday and Friday afternoons to get ready for the big event Friday evening. The music was provided by the band, Headwinds, and everyone throughly enjoyed the music. During a break in the music, Ricky Bragg was crowned Prom King and Nancy Norman was crowned Prom Queen. The court con- sisted of Steve Ratchford, Renee Lav- ender, Scott Wellborn, and Tammy Da- meron. Above: Jill Garvey urges the nervous Kelly Purdee to go ahead with her pictures.

All the senior girls re- ceived pink silk roses as they descend- ed the stairs during the senior prom- enade. Memory books were passed around to be autographed and for dates to sign. The time passed quickly and before everyone knew it, it was II:00. Some people went to midnight breakfasts, and others went to parties. Still others went up on the overlooks to stargaze. When it was time for evryone to go home, they went regretfully. Right: Working hard at keeping everyone happy, Headwinds rocks on at the 1982 Prom held at Mary Baldwin ballroom.

Grads Graduation night was atime for smiles and a time for tears. A night to be remembered by all. The night you fi- nally realized “this is it” and tomorrow you would face the world. It was a night for ‘Thank You’s” and apprecia- tion for all the wonderful people who helped you make it that far. One hundred and fifty seniors re- ceived their diplomas that night. The gymnasium, packed with relatives and friends, listened as Alta Nobles told the graduates that their lives would be a series of beginnings and ends. “Tonight is another beginning,” she said. “You are entering young adult- hood with its responsibilities. Some of you are already beginning to feel a lit- tle scared.” “The graduates, who are going away separately to jobs and colleges,” she said, ‘‘will be faced with new responsi- bilities, but they should continue to grow.” “Keep the wisdom and responsibility you gained at Stuarts Draft High School,” Ms. Nobles said. ‘Don’t forget your responsibility for yourself and for other people.” “Have the courage to grow and change appropriately. | wish you an excellent beginning, full of work and play and joyful endings.” Right: Bruce Layman and Scoti Wellborn pose with the painting Diane Romagnoli presented to the school Below: Mrs. Layman is a proud mother on this special night.
