GRADUATION Inclement weather forced the 235 graduates of 1979 to abandon outdoor ceremonies at Legion Field on Sunday afternoon, May 20. Instead the diplo- mas were passed out in the Bryan Tay- lor Sports Arena. The class chose Every person's life lies within the present: For the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain as its class motto. Red and white silk roses were pinned to the graduates by class sponsors, Mrs. Buckman and Mrs. Scott. For the first time the school used disposable gowns which the students were allowed to keep. Heading the class scholastically and delivering the valedictory was Kim Tay- lor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Tay- lor. The salutatory was given by Andy Hollinden, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hol- linden. Following a tradition set by previous classes, the seniors choose not to have a commencement speaker. They elect- ed to hear from classmates. Delivering speeches were Kim Fischer, Jeff Gof- finet, Kathy Sibrel, and David Ward. David Ward presents his speech during the graduation ceremony.

On May 27th, 1979, students from Tell City High School filed into the National Guard Armory for the annual Junior Senior Prom. The Student Body voted against the usual live band music, and voted for Disco records. So, with lighted floor and fog makers, the Prom was a wonderful success. The 1978-79 Prom Queen was Christine Riggle. Her escort was Tracey Karney. The other queen candidates were Barbara Bennett, Martha Fortwendel, and Christy Voges. Obviously having a wonderful time. Annette Ev- rard and Stuart May dance to a slow tune. A night to remember .. HINTON’S STORE PROM 19
