CLOUDS AND ’77 GRADUATES GATHER Graduation was a cold farewell for the Seniors with temperatures that evening ranging in the 40’s. The new gowns did not offer much warmth against the chilly evening wind. Many of the faculty and spectators left before the ceremony was completed because of the unusual spring weather. Kurt Sonnenburg and Mary Jean Gorse gave the Valedictorian and Salutatorian speeches respectively, while Lee Sullins, President of the National Honor Society and Jon Waters, Senior Class President, passed on their words of wisdom. With the turning of the tassels and the tossing of caps, Mr. Crump concluded graduation with his best wishes and the Seniors ended their reign at Thomas Dale. Expressions of doubt are shown by Sheri Rue as a fellow graduate helps her prepare for commencement. In this familiar scene before graduation, Teresa Phelps helps Sue Lees with her gown. Thrilled about graduating, Charlie Fletcher lifts Mr. J. C. Lawson. 28 Graduation
