The event, of course, marked the end of four years of high school for over 200 seniors but it also marked a return to an older tradition giving the afternoon a new, more tradition¬ al aspect. The honor of being vale¬ dictorian, was bestowed on Nadine Brindley and Melissa Scheidt for having earned the highest grade point averages over four years. Sandi Woodke was honored as sa- lutatorian for having earned the sec¬ ond highest grade point average of the graduating class. For many years, Lowell only designated an Honor Section, seniors earning a 3.5 grade point average or above for years, and did not award the top honors. The tradition of senior speeches, however, did remain with Nadine Brindley, Brian Moser and Melissa Scheidt being chosen to address the crowd. The topics of their speeches centered on the future now stretching before each gra¬ duate. In addition to the student ad¬ dresses, Pastor Roy Reaber of Range Line Community Presbyte¬ rian Church gave the invocation and benediction. Reverend John Wortinger of First United Meth¬ odist Church was the Baccalau¬ reate speaker. The Class of 1988 left behind their mark on LHS, even down to the final ceremony.
