This followed the invocation given by Rev. Marlin K. Ressler. The High School Choir sang 2 selections which included No Man is an Island” and Ava Maria”. Music was provided by the Garrett High School Band. Father Robert Hoevel of the St. Jo¬ seph Catholic Church gave the minis¬ terial address with the theme Com¬ mon Sense”. He emphasized the use of common sense and wisdom in our daOy lives”. He stated, A person with good common sense is responsible, and responsibility is a cherished qual¬ ity in any person. A person with good common sense is usually a well moti¬ vated person who demonstrates pru¬ dence in daily life.” In closing he added, You pilot your own ship of life. The difference between a step¬ ping stone and a stumbling block is how you use them.” The Valedictory Address was presented by Dennis Hull.

Decent weather, water, and frisbees make picnic Storm clouds with a threat of rain didn’t spoil the fun at the Jr.-Sr. pic¬ nic at Pokagon. Not one drop of rain fell but almost everyone rode home in wet clothes, even some of the teach¬ ers. This was because of a water battle between the guys and girls. It started out with squirt guns and then ended with everyone grabbing empty pop cans and filling them with water. The finish looked as though everyone had gone swimming. Mrs. Tim Albert, Dan Kinsey, and Kim Oster found them¬ selves ending up in mud puddles. Along with the water battles were games of football, softball, frisbee, and red rover. A mishap occured during the soft¬ ball game. Pam Kinsey pitched the ball to Bob Kruger and he batted it right into her chin. She fell to the ground gasping for breath. An imme¬ diate crowd formed around her and she was carried off to the pavillion. The senior class provided ham and each Jr. and Sr. attending brought a dish for a potluck dinner. Mr. Frog” Wiant almost wound up in the lake as a mob of Jr. and Sr. guys grabbed him and decided he should take a swim. Quick action by Mr. McFann and Mr. Hutton saved him and the idea of someone being thrown in the lake was forgotten. 24 Jr. Sr. Picnic
