Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Harrison Honors Many Studonts In Bicentennial Yoar At-the Harrison school eighth grade Bicentennial class graduation ceremonies on Wednesday, May 26, the in­ vocation was given by Rev. Roger Olson of Nativity Lutheran church, followed by the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Donna Berlin. The speeches given on the class of 1978 by Mary Gibbons, "The Past", Barry Anderson, "The Present" and Dee Sturm, "The Future", were amusing, enlightening and well done. "Theme From Mahogony", the eighth grade class song, was sung by the students, directed by Mona Brown, Harrison music teacher, and accompanied by Eileen Ahern on the piano. Tom Frett and Maria Warren were presented with the American Legion awards by Legion Commander Jim Hales. Robert G. Howe, representing the Kiwanis, gave the Kiwanis awards to Anne Bazan and Barry Anderson. Student council President, Dee Sturm, enthusiastically presented the Honor Student award to Eileen Ahern. James Golden, Prin­ cipal of Harrison, explained that the Principal's award is given to the "nicest student" of the class and selecting this person is no easy job, but his choice was the "clumsiest ten year old," the "clumsiest eleven year old", the "clum­ siest twelve year old" and also the "nicest" eighth grade student, Tim Rowley. Superintendent Ray Jones address to the graduates reflected on not choosing the "easy" way of life, but choosing the rewarding way of giving and doing things for people. He then affirmed the certification of the graduates. President of the Board of Education, Dr. S.L. Ruggero, introduced his fellow board members, Gloria Cqughlin, John Bazan, Jay Cristy, Joy Dass, Henry Setzler and Patricia Sullivan. In behalf of the board, Dr. Ruggero presented Superintendent Dr. Jones with a personal gift in recognition of his exceptional contribution to the school in the past year. Dr. Jones returned with this quip, "I hope it's money - the school needs it!" In his brief remarks, Dr. Ruggero mentioned the very real financial problems at Harrison. He said that action must and will be taken by the board this year. He also en­ couraged each and every adult member of District 36 to con­ sider running for the school board in next year's April elections. These serious moments were followed by a few inspirational remarks and Doctor's usual "joke", (carefully censored by board member, Coughlin). Diplomas were then presented to the sixty-one graduates. A reception was held in the school gym, where the graduates, their families and friends were served^ punch and cookies.
