Speaker tells students to try new experiences The ninth annual mid-term gradua¬ tion was held January 22, 1982. The ceremony began with the invocation by Amy Kilburg. The class welcome was then given by senior class president. Bill Lewis. The Reverend Roger Box, pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church of Crown Point gave the baccalaureate message. The number of mid-term graduates was cut in half from last year. Only forty-five students graduated in January this year. Miss Marilee Thanholdt, Crown Point English teacher, gave the com¬ mencement address, “How to get the most out of life, and unique qualities in¬ volved in it.” Miss Thanholdt urged the students to be unique and to retain their individuality. She also encouraged the students to try new experiences and to live life to the fullest. The evening ended with the Benediction given by Kim Raybuck.
