Grads Graduation night was atime for smiles and a time for tears. A night to be remembered by all. The night you fi- nally realized “this is it” and tomorrow you would face the world. It was a night for ‘Thank You’s” and apprecia- tion for all the wonderful people who helped you make it that far. One hundred and fifty seniors re- ceived their diplomas that night. The gymnasium, packed with relatives and friends, listened as Alta Nobles told the graduates that their lives would be a series of beginnings and ends. “Tonight is another beginning,” she said. “You are entering young adult- hood with its responsibilities. Some of you are already beginning to feel a lit- tle scared.” “The graduates, who are going away separately to jobs and colleges,” she said, ‘‘will be faced with new responsi- bilities, but they should continue to grow.” “Keep the wisdom and responsibility you gained at Stuarts Draft High School,” Ms. Nobles said. ‘Don’t forget your responsibility for yourself and for other people.” “Have the courage to grow and change appropriately. | wish you an excellent beginning, full of work and play and joyful endings.” Right: Bruce Layman and Scoti Wellborn pose with the painting Diane Romagnoli presented to the school Below: Mrs. Layman is a proud mother on this special night.
