Baccalaureate Ministers Plan Program A departure from past years, the baccalaureate service was admin- istered by the local ministerium. It was held in the Lutheran Church, rather than the audito- rium, on May 9, at 8:00. The processional and recession- al were played by Mr. Ben Oswalt on the trumpet, accompanied by Mrs. Jan Marks on the organ. Rev. Orland Sloat gave the invocation. Thea Johnson, Steve Vilhauer, Tigh Cowan, Karla Kerr, and Randy Houdek took part in the program. Pastor Edmund Youngquist gave the sermon, “A Gift of Life,” to the seniors. Music was provided by the high school choir, under the direction of Miss Lola Lee. The choir per- formed two numbers, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and “Walk Along Beside Me Oh My Lord.” Rev. Hilmore Williams ended the evening with the benediction. ABOVE: Kevin Griese and Steve Vilhauer prepare to hang up their caps and gowns for another week.

Senior Breakfast Another Rainy Day Shows Rainy days and senior breakfast seem to go together. For the sec- ond year in a row, rain greeted the seniors at Wesley Hall. The Unit- ed Methodist Women took the re- sponsibility of preparing scram- bled eggs, cinnamon rolls, orange juice, and coffee for 45 seniors, class sponsors, and guests. The table prayer was given by Reverand Orland Sloat. Superin- tendent John Biegler spoke to the seniors about doing their best and making the most out of their life. Counselor LeAnn Suhn gave a farewell speech which touched the hearts of many. Entertainment followed with Frankie Rineheart. Seniors acted out commercials and participated in the band. Graduation practice and the an- nual car chase followed the break- fast. Honking horns and shouts of joy filled the air as proud seniors announced that the time was near for the class of 1982.

Com m en cem en t Sunday Afternoon Ceremony A Change Of Pace Sunday afternoon, May 16, 1982, marked the day when thirty-seven seniors of High- more High School ended an- other chapter in their lives. “Pomp and Circumstance” was played by the high school band as Junior class President, Rob Hale, led the seniors in for one of the most important days of their lives. The stage was decorated in the class colors, light green and yellow. Spelled on the stage was the motto, “The future is inno- cent for we know not what it holds.” The girls carried long stem yellow roses and the boys wore yellow boutonnieres. Rev. A1 Cinnamon gave the invocation afetr which Supt. John Biegler introduced the guest speaker, Sen. Larry Pressler. Sen. Pressler chose to give his speech on the topic, “The Work Ethic.” Principal Roger Hansen in- troduced the class of ’82. The students received their diplo- mas from Phillip Kusser, Chairman of the school board. Max Wortman, a senior class member, wrote and sang the song, “Now Is The Time To Fly.” The song represented the feelings and challenges the classmates would meet in the future. The graduates stood, turned their tassels, and became alum- ni of HHS. Rev. Cinnamon closed the ceremony with the benediction. After the recessional, the graduates formed a receiving line to receive congratulations from family and friends. 16 Commencement
