Graduation Held Outside Graduation exercises for the class of 1978 were held on John Wall Memorial Field, May 21st at 2:30. The day was warm and sunny with just enough breeze to make seniors hold on to their hats. Seniors marched in to the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance" played by the high school band under the direction of Mr. Bill Henley. The coalition and senior choir members also performed two selections and the Alma Mater, directed by Mr. Russ Price. Senior class president Brad Britcher served as master of ceremonies. Other class officers were vice-president Marcia Jensen, secretary Jane Castek, and treasurer Tom Kemmerer. Reverend Gordon Freeburg, father of graduating senior Merrilee, gave the invocation and benediction. Pam Riggs was the selected senior class speaker and Roger Green, 1969, also addressed the class. William Boland, vice-president of the school board, awarded the diplomas to the seniors. Pastel rainbow colors were selected as class colors and pastel daisies were the class flowers.
