Graduation is a nostalgic time Graduation is a memorable experience. It's a time which the seniors will never forget, states Shawna Stegman. John Carlin, governor of Kansas, spoke at the Thursday night event. The governor's speech centered around the values of learning from the failures in life. Building on the lessons of failure makes failure a valuable stepping stone. It was a privilege to hear the governor's advice, notes Donna Littrell. Some seniors felt that the highlight of the evening was the receiving of the diplomas. After 1 received my diploma, the feeling hit me that I would never be in high school again, comments Janet Gray. Even though the time has come to follow our separate ways, the seniors will have many graduation memories to last a lifetime, says Debra Oliphant. Shane Shanks and Kathie Maley were declared co-valedictorians. Doug Hirsh and Cheryl Kersting were the junior ushers. Teresa Domme was the junior piano player.
