The final traumatic moment for the class of '72 was that of graduation. On May 28, the seniors became alumni instead of students as they received their diplomas. For the first time, Baccalaureate and Commencement services were combined into one service in the afternoon. Rosalie Kesler and Kim Carder gave the Valedictory and Salutatory addresses respectively. The invocation and class sermon was given by Gary Reeves and the touring chorus provided the music. Charles Meeks, president of the board of education presented the diplomas to the 61 class members. Fourteen of the members graduated with honors. Chip Carder, Junior Docker, Mike Merritt, Pam Myers, Gene Recker, Darlene Sheaks and Cindy Troyer graduated Cum Laude. Walter Flanefeld, Jim Houck, Angie Tracy and Margaret VanDemark graduated Magna Cum Laude, while the valedictorian and salutatorian were graduated with highest praise, Summa Cum Laude. 27
