St. Clair addresses '78 graduates Deal in straight lines, admon- ished Mr. Randy St. Clair, a direc- tor of national program with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Kansas City, as he addressed the 285 members of the Class of 1978. I need you. You're not listening. I love you . . . Leave as little unsaid as you possibly can. St. Clair spoke of the necessity of endings for beginnings to occur. He continued: People malke life worth- while . . . Our relationships matter most. - Following the invocation by the Reverend Norman Walter, Princi- pal Harold Vopat welcomed the guests and introduced the members of the School Board, the Superin- tendents and the speaker. At the conclusion of the address, Mr. Vopat presented the class to Mr. Russell Myers, president of the Board, with the recommendation that its members be granted diplo- mas. The green-cased certificates were awarded by the School Board: Mr. Myers, Mrs. Gerald K. Palmer, Mrs. Fred D'Albini, Mrs. A. J. An- dersen, Mr. Pat Bolen, Mr. David Hanson and Dr. C. L. Olson. The Reverend Norman Walter gave the benediction. The band, directed by Mr. Rob- ert Harder, played the processional and recessional. Q, ra., . 1

Principals direct Staff, students Early in the year, Principal Har- old Vopat began preparation for the April, 1979 visit of the North Cen- tral evaluation team. He appointed key personnel to organize and con- duct the internal evaluation of the school. Faculty, students and par- ents were asked to define the objec- tives and philosophyg they also ex- amined the curriculum needs. Mr. Stanley Lauer, assistant prin- cipal, kept the school calendar scheduling all interscholastic activi- ties. Attendance and discipline for the juniors and freshmen were also the responsibility of Mr. Lauer. He shared with Mr. Weidmer the duty of attending school activities such as dances and games. Mr. John Weidmer, also an assis- tant principal, was in charge of the enrollment process. He had general supervision of students and ar- ranged transportation for field trips. He was also responsible for the sophomore and senior attendance and discipline. Mr. Vopat assumed final respon- sibility for the smooth operation of the school, coordinating all phases of the instructional program, deal- ing with the day to day problems as they arose. f 4 f 'i ff in Nea e i.
