GHS awards II4 diplomas As the high school band un- der the direction of Mr. Paul Marlow played “Pomp and Circumstance,” junior class president Robin Clauss and vice-president Sally Hile led the procession for Garrett High School’s 103rd com- mencement ceremony. The program began with the invocation by senior Kim- berly Leeper, followed by sen- ior class president James Brown welcoming parents, faculty, and students. Under the direction of Mr. Gary Gerke, the GHS choirs performed two songs, ‘‘Go With a Song in Your Heart” and ‘‘You’ll Never Walk 22) Commencement Alone.” Valedictorian Teresa Smith centered her address on a seminar she attended in eighth grade. The theme of the seminar was “‘If it is to be, then it’s up to me.” Teresa said, ““We as individuals pos- sess the ability and opportu- nity to create a better world around us, and we must take hold of that challenge. ‘As we strive to achieve the goals we set for ourselves, there may be many obstacles that we will experience and we must conquer. Not all will be successful. But even if the solution is invalid, the learn- ing process will be beneficial. “‘As we leave these familiar walls, adults or not, we will be faced with the adult world. We must now close one book of our lives and open another. I challenge each of you to find inscribed on the inside cover of your new book, “If it is to be, then it is up to me.” Principal Gayord N. Toll presented the class of 1987 to Superintendent Kermit D. Weddell, who awarded diplo- mas to 114 graduates. Benediction was given by senior Jennifer Wolf, fol- lowed by the recessional played by the GHS band. —Julie Wells Waiting in the gym commons, candlebearers Anne Demske and Michele Baker prepare for commencement ceremonies.
