Graduation Day: A Brief Moment One That The graduating class of 1977 was the first class that went through the Norris School system. Tim Conway, valedictorian of the class also received Norris' first 4 year regent's scholarhip to the University of Nebraska. Representing the class as salutatorian was Kyla Walvoord, who spoke about the winding roads which each graduate would encounter. Chosen for the class motto was Not the briefest moment-yours or mine-will ever come again. Colors were blue and white, the flowers that were carried and worn were carnations. Special music at Baccalaureate and Commencement was provided by: Mrs. Nancy Crabtree, the mixed octet, Ianet Graves, and the Barber Shop quartet. Will Never Come Again Senior sponsor Iudeen Oelling and Principal Rex Pigg direct graduates Tim Conway and Steve Cooper at the morning practice which was held the Friday before commencement. Graduates to be Larry Lucus, Dave Hartman and Bruce Docter talk as they put on their robes in preparation for the commencement exercises.

Mr. Citron, the radio and television personality, mixed puns and reality together to bring across his message. He spoke on failure and commented, Failure isn't trying and failing, it's not trying at all. He stressed the need for continual self-improvment. He mentioned that the most important fact was not to get into a rut but always to move ahead, never being content as you are.
