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.

Looking Forward As Seasons Change Steve Rolfsmeyer shows his true feelings about graduation as he files into the gymnasium where his diploma is waiting. You are richer today than you were yesterday if you have laughed often, given something, forgiven even more, made a new friend, made stepping-stones out of stumbling blocks: if you have thought more in terms of thyself than myself or if you have managed to he cheerful even if you were Weary. Senior Honor Society members Dean Lesoing and Rick Hartwig leave the ceremonies with relief and determination.
