On May 29, 1988, 48 seniors were official Tekonsha High School graduates of the Class of 1988. Commencement started at 3:00 in the afternoon in the THS gymnasium. The day was hot, sunny, and most of all, filled with tears of excitement, joy and sadness. The Commencement exercises started with a prayer given by Michele Hall, thanking our Lord for bringing us together on this day. Holly Hunt, class president, then welcomed everyone here. We were then given a salutatorian speech by Nicki Ritter. Nicki’s message was about the friends we will have forever. As the ceremony moved on, the senior band members played in the Senior High Band. They played the son “Tocatta for Band.” Our Valedictorian Linda LaMee then gave her speech. After her speech a very unusual event happened. The entire class stood up and sang the song “Hand in Hand. ” It was a very touching moment and we, as a class, realized that this was it. Recognition of the class advisor was given by Leslie Nagel. Mr. McMullin received a plaque and a silent thank you from every member in his class. Then the most important part of Commencement happened. It was receiving our diplomas. A closing prayer was given by Jeff Coffman and the graduates marched out of the gym to “Pomp and Circumstance” played by the band. It was a day every senior will always remember. It was a time for us to move on and make something of ourselves. As our class motto says, ‘‘We will not follow a path, but rather make our own and leave a trail. ” Graduation 23
