The almost graduated seniors applaud after everyone has received their diploma. The seniors' class motto was “What we are is God's gift to us; what we become is our gift to God. After receiving his diploma, David Law accepts the class flower, the rose, from usher Jacki Tanner. The seniors chose as their class colors black and red. Christi Selzer and Doug Meek walk in to the tune Pomp and Circumstance. Because many of the band members were seniors, the junior and senior high bands combined for this occasion. Glad that it’s finally over. Amy Broady and Kathy Harlow exchange congratulations. Amy and Kathy wore gold tassels for receiving academic diplomas. Mrs. Reynolds places a gold rope around Amy Broadys neck. The ropes were given to three seniors who earned Indiana Academic Honors diplomas. After an estimated 15,715 hours of school the final moment had arrived . . . graduation! The seniors reached this moment with some anticipation and some regret. We now have the chance to see what real life is about. I don't know if I'm ready for it or if I want to be ready for it, said Kelby Mathis. Other students reflected the same ideas as Kelby. I'm excited about graduating. I'm glad after thirteen years to finally be able to get out of here, but in a way I wish I could stay. commented Lisa Ray. It's strange to think that we all won't be back here, together, next week. Tomorrow who knows where we'll all be, said Sandy Embry. At the actual ceremony different people and groups participated to make the occasion memorable for the seniors. The junior and senior high bands combined to perform the traditional Pomp and Circumstance. The high school choir performed two pieces which were followed by the singing of Friends by the senior members. Dr. Cenofa Point-du-Jour from Haiti gave the scripture. He also expressed many thanks to the family, teachers, and friends that had helped his son, Woodolf Point-du-Jour, through his first year in the United States. The graduates expressed many different emotions. There were smiles, tears, and hugs. Jennifer Seim tried to express how she was feeling in her Valedictorian speech by saying, I think I'm feeling iust about everything. I’m scared; I'm happy; I'm anxious; I'm sad. I'm glad to be moving on. but there are a lot of things and people I don't want to leave behind. Graduation 23

Back To The Basics In some bigger schools, it is hard for teachers and other faculty to give each student the individual help and attention needed. At Hauser that is totally different. Our school is small enough that everyone can and does get that attention and feel -ing of self worth. Back in the times of the one room schoolhouses, the teacher had time to care for each student. The faculty at Hauser is like that one room schoo house in that they have the time to care for the basic needs of each and every student. Hauser could be said to be back to the basics with academics and the school as a whole. You take that picture and I’ll ... The man himself, Mr. Jordan is doing a poor job of getting out of this picture. Air. Jordan taught sophomore and senior English and senior high challenge. Yeah-yeah-got it!” Cadet teacher David Law is learning all the tricks of the trade from Hope elementary teacher, Mr. Webster. Cadet teachers had the chance to teach many different grades of elementary during their year long class. 26 Academics
