SNEAK TRIP Last stop — Look what we bought. Sneak trip was great! The Seniors pulled together their last SI.800 and went to Des Moines. It all began Thursday night and into the wee hours of Friday morning when the Seniors painted the streets after their shove-off party at Barney's Bottom. After a sleepless night the Seniors boarded the bus bright and early Friday morning and began their quest for fun. Theyarrived first at the Botanical Garden in Des Moines. Living up to their rowdy reputation they dutifully destroyed every plant in the garden. FIA! HA! Not really. Well kind of, maybe a little. Then, after a brief lunch and a trip to get water guns, it was off to the Salisbury 'Steak' House, „ where they made a bold entrance by busting down the door, no Rhona, it's not a steak house, it's just the Salisbury House!, an English Tudor mansion worth about $25 million. The Iowa State Capitol was next on the agenda. The Seniors were all tired of touring, so they didn't have much fun there. Finally we made it to the Adventureland Inn. After a brief dip in the pool, 19 year old Troy took a walk to a local store and when he returned, the fun began. After Friday night's great meal at Spaghetti Works, the Seniors returned to their motel where they met the Fruit of the Loom Guys. Knock, Knock. Who is it?” Easy!!! Easy Who? Easy Seniors! (Guess ya had to be there!) On Saturday morning the Seniors ventured to Adventureland. It was truly an adventure! We were all wet!, but it wasn't rainy, (have to be there again.) The Seniors to their regret, then left for home. Their quest for fun had not been completed until Waddle dropped em' on the bus. Then we were glad to be home. s

GRADUATION Not since the first graduating class of this century has graduation been outdoors on the football field. Perfect weather was the highlight as the 19 seniors filed to the front of thr rows of filled seats, to theirs, the center of attention. Proud parents, relatives, and friends sat anxiously listening as Pastor Gerkin opened the evening with the invocation and closed it with the benediction. Pat Akins, salutatorian, and Rhonda Grone, valedictorian, represented the class with speeches on hopes and memories. Mr. Stewart's choir along with the seniors were set Flying Free”, filling the air with sounds of promise and desire. But words don’t express the emotion and magic of the night. A tear-filled reception line followed the proceedings, which according to seniors was highlighted by Mr. Brown and Mrs. Nottlemann handing out diplomas. Relief, regret, joy and elation were among the emotions felt as the night broke into receptions and parties that lasted well into the morning. Typewriters, luggage, watches and stationery were common items littering gift tables, in hopes to send each senior well prepared into his or her future.
