Grads Commencement inside For the second year in a row, due to rain, the commencement exercises were held in the gymnasium. May 16 was the memorable day for the 45 seniors who walked down the floor, all in thoughts about their high school years. Salutatorian, Rita Robl, gave her address to the seniors on how they should cherish their years past, but continue on towards their goals in life. Cheryl Oberle, valedictorian, spoke on class memo- ries and how much the senior class had grown together. Father Gilbert Herrmann of the Catholic Church delivered the com- mencement speech, followed by Don Caffee, principal, who presented spe- cial citizenship awards from the Kansas State High School Activities Association to Lorri DeWerff and Dale Hogg. Mr. Caffee proceeded in presenting the class of 1982. The Board of Education gave the diplo- mas. Seniors elected to the National Honor Society were Robin Buckbee, Nancee Dannebohm, Lorri DeWerff, Phil Feist, Dale Hogg, Cheryl Oberle, and Rita Robl. With the money left over from the class fund, a single white silk flower was bought for each senior girl. Striving for future goals was part of salutatori- an, Rita Robl’s. address to the seniors.

Academics Mr. Tony Furse, yearbook adviser, points out to Sheryl Whittaker the place where she is to lay down her borders for the yearbook page. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) Academics is the reason we’re here at school in the first place, whether it be visiting the State Capitol on a field trip or cutting into a frog in biology. We may prefer the excitement of a win- ning free throw or the fellowship of a German Club member. But in the end we’re really here to learn. Shaping the clay into the form of a head, Scott Strobl concentrates his interests on hol- lowing out the inside.
