Commencement 1979: WE SHALL NOT PASS THIS WA V AGAIN Hugs, Tears, Smiles Ingredients of Graduation II was with a variety of emotions that the 1979 graduating class of W- V HS entered its last assembly together. To the moving strains of Elgar's Pom arul Circumstance, the 54 graduates moved proudly into the gymnasium which was decorated with while roses tipped in blue, and with the class motto, It matters not that we burn our bridges behind us, for we plan not to take this path again. The invocation was brought by Rev. George Hickok of the Walton Christian Church. The W-VHS band provided a rendition of Bernstein’s Overture From West Side Story. After the addresses by the Salutatorian Deana Poore and the Valedictorian Mary Ann McLoney, Superintendent Mr. John Grubbs introduced the speaker, Mr. Robert Knauff, Director of Public Relations and Community Affairs at Northern Ky. University. Mr. Knauff spoke to the graduating class on the subject Death by boredom, or getting involved. Mr. Knauff's point was that learning goes on forever, and vehther or not the learning is fun depends on us. ” It is for all of us to find that area of service that will benefit mankind. Mr. Knauff said. We must get involved in mankind; we must learn to commit ourselves to something important. After Mr. Knauff's inspirational words, the 54 graduates rose together to receive their diplomas, presented to them by Mr. Grubbs and Board of Education Chairman, Mr. J. B. McCubbin, and to symbolically turn their tassels, signifying the step they were taking from one way of life into another. Hugs, kisses, smiles, tears, and handshakes were the ingredients that made up the concluding moments of Commencement 1979. Saying good-bye to their friends and classmates was almost as difficult as saying hello to the new life which each graduate must discover.
