Among these were: outstanding boy, Rusty Muenster, outstanding girl, Laura Kiolbassa, Salutatorian, Torsten Louis, and Valedictorian. Stacy Wyrwich.

As the last five graduates re- ceived their diplomas, all the graduates stood in unison and hollered the countdown, ftve-four- three-two- and finally number OnE.

Many of the seniors played volleyball after lunch to work off all the good food they ate and maybe to get some sun. The games were watched by many seniors wanting to relax.
