May was full of events associated with our impending Graduation. In looking at the following documents and associated pictures, it is hard to figure out how we found time to study for those dreaded Final Exams, but study we did and finally we were able to enjoy these various activities.

So first, we sent out our Graduation Announcements to family and friends. Did you keep a copy? Well, we did so see the full Announcement below. One interesting thing to note is that Susan Bicket Jones reports that Mr. Cox, Assistant Principle, didn't like that our class chose the BHS Logo from the old High School Auditorium for our Class Ring as well as the cover for the Graduation Announcement. He felt that moving into the new school merited an update to the logo.

Graduated at last! But wait, yet one more activity before we head off to the rest of our lives. Several parents went together and invited the full class to an After Graduation Party at the Bloomington Country Club. While many of us no longer remember all of the many events of this month, here is copy of the invitation we all received.
