Seniors Honored At Graduation Forty-eight seniors participated in graduation exercises on Sunday, May 16. The rainy, windy day prevented the ceremony from being held on the football field, where it was originally planned. The final school activity for Seniors started with the procession. Rev. Clifford Reynolds gave the message to the Seniors. The valedictorian for 1976, Vicky Boone, and Diane Chritton, salutatorian, gave short speeches. Principal John Reimer presented scholarships and awards. Superintendent Richard Brommer and Dr. Keith Shuey, school board president, awarded the diplomas. Attendants from the Junior Class were Jeff Brommer, Steve Hutt, Debbie Bartels, Julie Faris, Jackie Weakland, Kim Bucholz, Tim Halverstadt and Tom Baum. Waiting for the first down beat of the band and counting the minutes before the procession into the gym, where a large crowd waited, were the most anxious moments for the graduates.
