Some seniors think of graduation as finally getting outfy Others think of it as being their chance to finally start striving for their goals. Ever- yone has different outlooks and goals they want to accomplish in their lifetime. Graduation is always a happy time and this years seniors were a class that always knew what they wanted. They knew they were ready for this special time. This class was the last class of the tlturnaroundll our school had a few years back. They were leaders in our school and will be rememberd as the class that did what they felt they should. As their gallant four years came to an end, out came the happy tears of realization that every- . one was going in different directions. All the happy times can only be reminisced and all the arguments forgotten. Those final moments were sad because you realize what really good friends you have had. You wish that you could be with a little longer. Now it was time for making new friends, seeing places, tryout out different occupations and, it seemed just like, starting over again. Graduation was held in the high Like Starting Over school gym on Thursday evening May 21. The graduates processed in followed by the faculty to the music of the concert band. On stage were Vito Sisto, Class President and Master of Ceremonies; J ohn J abusch and Sean Hyde, class speakers; Fr. Edward Eftink, Superintendent of schools, Bishop Bernard Law and Sr. Raynald. The keynote speaker orginally scheduled could not attend due to an illness so Bishop Law stepped in to make his tiClosing remarks longer but not that much longer? He gave statistics of St. Agnes High Schoolls early graduates. We have grown and changed considerably. The Bishop stated that the ,most important thing the graduates should have learned was that they had been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and this should make a profound impact on their lives. The welcoming speech was given by Salutatorian Sean Hyde and the commencement speech by Valedictorian John Jabusch. Sr. Raynald presented the graduates to the Bishop who conferred the diplomas as Sister announced each personls future plans.
