Valedictorian: Barbie Carpenter This past year al Trinity has been one of tremendous learning and growth both for my classmates and myself. Academically, we've learned more than we've ever learned before. We've learned to think and to interrelate the things we’ve discussed in- side and outside of class. Socially, we've developed much stronger friendships. We’ve reached out to people of all different types. Because of the busy year, the time we had together was quality time. Spiritually, we've learned a lot about Cod and what He wants from us. C. T. Studd once said. If Jesus Christ be God and died for me. then no sacrifice is too great to be made for him. The greatest gift we can give to Him is ourselves, unmold- ed. and ready for Him to use. We've learned this year that life is most fulfilling when lived with Christ as head over all areas of our lives: academic, social, and spiritual. Salutatoriam Wendell Harry I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith: In the future there will be many more courses to run. and fights to fight: yet the one I have now completed, my high school experience, is the most unique. In this time I have grown to know Cod. learned of how to learn, and discovered the benefits of diligence. I have seen, acknowledged, and absorbed countless pearls of wisdom from a faculty super-saturated with Godly, intellectual, and wise people. The difference between these past four years of growth and the future ahead of me is that yesterday. I was being reared by these Godly and wise people: tomorrow, it is my responsiblity to become one. Note: Autumn Getz received recognition as salutatorian in both the awards assembly and during the graduation ceremony. In the final tabulation of grades, however. Wendell Harry’s grade point average was .005 points higher than Autumn's. Therefore, both Autumn and Wendell are worthy of scholastic recognition. 209
