Having finished exams more than a week before, seniors return- ed one last time, June 7, for graduation ceremonies. It was a warm windy day as they gathered in the cafeteria. A harried Mrs. Schmidt separated seniors from family and friends and sorted them into proper order for their march to the football field. Guests found positions in bleachers or folding chairs as the band and choirs took their positions. Several youngsters, unaware of the inpor- tance of the event, scampered through the crowd eluding paren- tal discipline. Board members and administrators joined speakers Ms. Ogden, Shannon Wallace, Mary Jo Kreuz and Greg Hoffman on the stage. Once the seniors arrived it was parents’ turn to scamper throughout asiles and seats vieing for the best positions to photograph their favorite graduates. In only an hour, speeches were given, music had played, evrey senior had received a diploma, and the Class of 87 became alumnae.
