 Graduation is not the end nor the beginning. Instead, it is the end of the beginning, Mr. Langley quoted in his address to the graduates. This end was presided over by Ken Jessen, senior class sponsor, for the last time. Speakers included Sherry Molohon, class president; Mr. Roberts, principal; and Mr. Lanley, Superintendent. Valedictorian Melinda McKim and Salutatorian David Ryan also spoke, invoking memories of their last thirteen years. Mr. Roberts then asked parents to remember ... their first smile ... first step, first word ... first request for car keys. Jim Edwards, Board president, then presented the diplomas. It was an evening full of laughter and bittersweet tears. It was also a night for winners ... the top ten and three scholarship recipients. Bill Cinnamon gave Roy Groeper the Tom Harmon Award. Ray Ekhoff awarded the $1000 Bank Scholarship to a surprised Rick Miller. Jane Snow gave the BEA Scholarship to Mark Mueller who plans to make a career in education. Amid the final march, graduates left the gym for the last time. Their beginning over, their future just starting. 24 — High School Graduation
