It was a time to recognize all the many years of hard work, learning, studying, and dedication. As the friends and relatives of the graduating class began filling the gym- nasium, the seniors, who met in the study hall, were putting on their caps and gowns. Many thought about the ceremonies and for the first time, real- ized that in a ,matter of just minutes they would be graduates of Grain Val- ley High School. With these thoughts on their mind, the seniors started down the hall to- ward the gym. The audience rose to their feetkas the graduates filed in by couples amidst clicking cameras and the band playing l'Pomp and Circum- stance. After everyone took their places on the stage, Rev. Tom Boyce led the invocation and Mr. Burns welcomed everyone as well as introduced the school board members who accompanied him on the platform. Special music was then provided by David Walker, who sang a solo, and Elaine Mann, who played a flute solo accompanied by the band. This was followed by the salutatorian speech, given by Tom jones, and the valedicto- rian speech, given by Rhonda Dunn. ' Mr. Burns proceeded to announce the seniors. Before they descended the stairs to the gym floor, Mr. Rupp, school board president, presented the seniors with their diplomas and Dr. Hightower, superintendent, gave each senior a red rose. Turning tassles and rings made the ceremonies official and complete as the audience applauded the now graduated class of 1982. After the recessional, as in Grain Valley style, the graduates formed a re- ception outside the high school building where they shared special thoughts and received congratulations. GRADUATIONX69
