ANEW CHALLENGE On May JOth, the Tekonsha High School Seniors paraded anxiously down the gymnasium aisle. They chose as their colors maroon and silver. The class song was Turn the Page by Bob Seger. The invocation was given by Lynette Selby who was followed by Frank LaFond welcoming parents, friends and underclassmen. Toni Reimer then gave the traditional Salutatorian's speech. Everyone then heard from the Tekonsha High School Band playing Cimmaron. From there, Kim Myers took over with the class motto; If you can imagine it ... you can achieve it. If you can dream it . .. you can become it. The past thirteen years were recalled by Cathy Flynn and Nina Meiring as they read the class history. Once again the Tekonsha High School Band was heard, this GRADUATION time playing Celebration. Tony Jenkins gave the Valedictorian's speech followed by Dr. Joseph Serra recognizing and presenting awards. Frank LaFond returned to the podium in recognition of the senior class advisor, Mr. Kevin McMullin. School superintendent, Mr. Roger Carlson took ovet by presenting the class of 1982 to School Board President Mr. Roy Spires, and the diplomas were handed out. Rick Kostrzewski closed the services with the benediction and the recessional followed. Baccalaureate services were held on May 28.
