Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, June 7, 1994 -- 11 a 'Grads enjoy special party at Sheraton Hotel Last saturday evening, a group of students, in their final year at Port Perry High School, enjoyed their own graduation dinner and dance at the Sheraton Centre in downtown Toronto, an event that was completely independent of the school.

Students would be able to stay overnight at one of many accommodations, thus eliminating the possibility of driving home in the wee hours of the morning. And the big city seemed to have that magic appeal to everyone.

Of course, the Sheraton had stipulations which had to be followed, such as having two 'on duty' metro cops patrolling throughout the evening and having seven adult chaperones. Several parents, older brothers and sisters of the graduates were more than pleased to act as chaperones. Speaking to the Citizen last Saturday evening, the DJ and officers thoroughly impressed with the attitude gnd behaviour of the young crowd and would be happy to chaperone at a Port Perry student function again. Various awards and door prizes were given throughout the evening.
