The world is filled with places to show off smiling faces, some may come and some may o . . . but all in the heart, the friends we know, the past. Undergrads, upcoming they take over Homecoming, Prom, and find- ing the bands and when we are gone we leave it in their hands. Of dances, sales, responsibility to do a better job the only way for them to be. And yet something's missing the graduates. Student life the core of the school of books and work the Writing tool. of friends and jokes the morning cokes the closeness of God miles of knowledge we trod, and yet something's missing the future. B.R. III Each of the four years we've been at Martin Luther brought us new adventure, but now comes the biggest adventure of all - meeting the real, outside world. After Spending four years together, now we say goodbye. We have so much to look for- ward to . . . and so much to remember. In these pages is preserved what we used to be and what we have become - the way we are right now - so that in the years ahead, when we've all gone our separate ways, We will not forget the way our high school days were, the way our good times were, the way our friends were . . . the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, smiles we gave to one another . . . the way we were.

Dear Members of the Class of 1977: Christ came into this world for a very specific purpose. He put it this way, The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost fLuke 19:1OJ. Seeking and saving the lost meant keeping all the commandments which We had broken, paying the penalty for our sins, and overcoming our triple enemy: sin, death, and the devil This required steadfastness, poverty, suffering, death, agony, and resurrection. His greatest accomplishment was man's deliverance from the old life of sin and slavery to a new life in God here and in eternity. Christ made this our primary purpose in life also when I-Ie said, As my-Father hath sent me even so send I you . He explicitly tells us that we are to be His witnesses and make disciples of all people. No matter what voc- ation we choose what college or university we will attend, or what situation we will experience next year, we are given the directive to spend our lives contributing directly or indirectly toward seeking and saving the lost. We are to be a people for others. Your high school, Martin Luther, with its dedicated faculy, has attempted to equip you for this life's task. Your experience in theology classes, worship services, personal communicadon with teachers, and shared relation- ships with fellow Christians have provided a setting for this kind of equipping to occur. Whether you take seriously the challenge God places in front of you is dependent upon your relationship with Christ. Since the Holy Spirit has led you to look into the loving face of jesus and accept Him as your personal Savior, you do have the power to follow Him and be His witnesses. You are different now. You can love even those who don't love you, forgive those who don't forgive you, say no to sin in which others indulge, say yes to Christ whenever He asks you to serve Him and witness of His love and forgiveness. Like St. Paul, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. The success of the future lies in His hands. How comforting to know that He assures us of His divine prescence when He promises, Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age . fMatt. 28:2Oj Congratulations, dear graduate! May God's abundant blessings be upon you and keep you in His loving and protecting care. May His kingdom continue to grow through your witness. Yours in Christ, Roman C .
