Planning began back in the fall of 1989
Gleaned from letters & articles in The Montclair Times 1990 a team of parents and students formed a committee to celebrate high school graduation. They proposed a chaperoned evening of activities giving the seniors a gala farewell without alcohol, drugs or the dangerous partying that could follow graduation. With help from all in the community $17,000.00 was raised to fund the event that ran from 9pm to 5am. On return a farewell breakfast sponsored by the Montclair Kiwanis Club was served before sending them out into the world now that high school days were over.
