Valedictorians address 411 members of '82 Breaking a school tradition two valedictorians were chosen to address the graduates because their grades, the criteria for selection, were identical. Michelle Garfinkle and Carlene Archibald were given this dual honor. Principal Al Hawkins explained, To make this decision we first looked at those with a 4.0 GPA and then we considered those with a heavy academic load. This year the Ioth, 11th and 12th grades were pulled. Nine students had a 4.0 GPA so we pulled the 9th grade records. It turned out that two students had almost identical grades. They were too close to decide between so we chose two valedictori- ans. Innocence walks freely. Proud secure and refined is his highway, he need not wander beyond his limits . . . Life, the road we travel, is indeed difficult, was part of the message given to the graduates in poetic form by the co-valedictorians. They urged the graduates to contribute something to the world. We have been given family and friends, teachers and mentors who love us and who we love and thank in return. We have been given the world, use it well. r.
