Floyd Beckmann re- ceived a Board of Governors Scholarship and an Athletic Award; Marlon Hennig was awarded the Valedictorian and Citizenship Awards. A Regents Scholarship, UNL Honors Program, and a Scholar- ship Award was presented to Dana Reil; and Kim Smith received the Rosalie Faculty Association and Community Scholarship and the Salu- tatorian Award. The big moment came when Board of Education President Larry Ahlers presented the graduating class with their diplomas. After signifying their achievement by switching their lassies, the graduates left the school for the last time. A combination of tradi- tion and changes made the 1979-1980 school year one to remember. The winning Basketball team, piling on each other at noon, and day dreaming through class in the Spring will soon just be happy memo- ries. As we look back .... WE'RE LOOKIN' GOOD!
