Sun Shines On ’83 Grads After days of cloud-filled skies and rain, the sun ap- peared for the Class of 1983’s Baccalaureate Service. Held at the football field on Sunday, May 22 at 3:00, the service began with an invocation by Father Paul York of Holy Spirit Church. Sandy Richardson and Valerie Thompson sang for the audience of graduates, parents and friends. Reverend Paul Iverson served as the main speaker and the services ended with a benediction and the recessional. Each year the junior stewards serve as an honor guard for the graduates. Included this year in the group were Jeffrey Hild, James Ulrich, James Garnett, Keith Pecha, Mike Rasmussen, Joseph Harris, Gerald Dilliard, Dorothy Thiessen, Katherine Rossow, Alicia Green, Kris Beaty, Julie Strouf, Laurie Flockhart and Rhonda Edmonds. “As 1 stand before you tonight, my graduating class of 1983,1 can see and feel the last 13 years of our lives. We have grown up together, faced the good times and the bad, suffered through the pain and struggles of being young adults, and we have shared with one another our accomplishments and defeats. — Roger Wiles, senior class president TOP: Dawn Eaton and Bill Krejci were two of the 121 graduates of the 1983 class.

BELOW: Aaron Lemieux was one of the many schol- arship recipients. “The advice I would give any new student or freshmen would be to get involved and not to go through high school without trying as much as possi- ble. Academic and vocational areas of study, organi- zations, athletics and activities all offer excellent opportunities. ’ — Marc Tassone, student council president “We have just reached a huge goal that four years ago many of us may have thought to be unattainable. But. as we well know, this is only the first of many achievements in our lives. Each goal we set is a plateau, and when we reach one goal, we immediately set our sights on another higher goal.” — Kirk Emig, co-valedictorian “Plattsmouth has given us its best with opportuni- ties to develop our own areas of interest. The great diversity of the high school comes from the diversity of the community. This allows Plattsmouth to get up-to-date ideas while keeping stability from those who have lived here for many years.” — Kristi Smith, co-valeditorian LEFT: Graduates Peggy Young, Les Dexter and Tri- sha Stout finish up a high school career.
