I r h I Friday, June 4, 1976, once again brought both Seniors and underclassmen to the gym to participate in Class Day. The class history was read by Robin Collins, Frank Arena, and Donna Harrison, followed by an original song for the class composed by Mary Jo Smith, Lynn Larson and Robin Smith. The Last Will and Testament was next by Mary Henkel, Richard Evans and Margie Sarver. Senior Superlatives were accented by the appearance of Mike Wirt wheeled in in a wheelchair and Mike Spencer wearing a mask. Darlene Thomas continued to sing The Way We Were,” even though the pianist stopped playing and Phoebe Quaterman recited a comedy skit on the rising costs of graduation. The program ended with a skit by the Senior Band Members with several featured dancers . . .J. W. Simpson, David Nuckols, Ricky Stanley, Mike Spencer, Siggy Jones, and Lee Jennings. Classday . . .

Graduation • 00 The third annual commencement exercises were once again held in the Tabb gymnasium. School officials felt that a planned program in the gym was better than a last-minute switch from outdoors because of rain. The Class of 76 is, as everyone knows, the first class to complete four full years at Tabb High. While this in itself brought a cenain sense of excitement and joy, there was still a small amount of doubt and sorrow. While many graduates were thrilled that they would never again have to set foot in Tabb, others were tearfully telling friends and teachers good-bye. To quote C. F. Kettering, We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.” Top Left: Beth Miller, Margie Sarver and Sandy Hancock seem to be a bit nervous . . . Top Right: . . . as do many of the faculty members. Bottom Left: Frank Occhiuti checks his tassel before entering the gym. Bottom Right: Mr. Roach’s gavel has a calming effect on many graduates. 154 Graduation
