Roger Wiles, Kirk Emig, Kevin Munger, Patricia Henning, Marc Tassone and Kristine Smith presented their thoughts on the end of their high school careers. Betsy Musgjerd performed a saxophone number entitled “Aria,” and then special awards were given including nu- merous scholarships. This year’s honor graduates included Kirk Emig, Kristine Smith, Mary Beth Musgjerd, Patricia Henning, Kevin Munger, Jochen Ammenn, Denise Duever, Patrick Dettmer, Kurt Meisinger and Kathy Ulrich. Also graduating with honors were Susan Elworth, Mike Dorzweiler, Lori Meier, Norm Schoch, Dave Foss, Vicki Frazier, Deb Moore, Richard Boettcher, Doug Carroll and Joe Warga. Some people would argue that athletics have no place in school, that they interfere with academics. But we. the class of '83, feel that athletics help develop a person physically and emotionally. These two aspects of personal development are essential for the development of a sound mind.” — Kevin Munger. honor graduate.

BELOW: Aaron Lemieux was one of the many schol- arship recipients. “The advice I would give any new student or freshmen would be to get involved and not to go through high school without trying as much as possi- ble. Academic and vocational areas of study, organi- zations, athletics and activities all offer excellent opportunities. ’ — Marc Tassone, student council president “We have just reached a huge goal that four years ago many of us may have thought to be unattainable. But. as we well know, this is only the first of many achievements in our lives. Each goal we set is a plateau, and when we reach one goal, we immediately set our sights on another higher goal.” — Kirk Emig, co-valedictorian “Plattsmouth has given us its best with opportuni- ties to develop our own areas of interest. The great diversity of the high school comes from the diversity of the community. This allows Plattsmouth to get up-to-date ideas while keeping stability from those who have lived here for many years.” — Kristi Smith, co-valeditorian LEFT: Graduates Peggy Young, Les Dexter and Tri- sha Stout finish up a high school career.

But now we all know and understand that what we were told was true.” — Tricia Henning, honor graduate.
