Ending With a Commencement Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not? This quote by Robert F. Kennedy centered the theme of 1978 graduation ceremonies. Sunday, June 4 was the red letter day for 630 FHS sen- iors. The 106th Baccalaureate-Com- mencement graduated the students under the sunny skies at Donnell Memo- rial Stadium. Ann Redpath was the class valedictorian and Sara Ringle was the salutatorian. Rev. James Foster of St. Andrews United Methodist Church gave the first and last words as he presented the invo- cation and benediction. Father Frank Kehres of St. Michael's Catholic Church delivered the message. The class speak- ers each gave their own speech in fitting with the theme. Friends and families gathered to wit- ness the event, as these graduating sen- iors commenced their new lives as adults.
