THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAY The Class of 1973 graduated from Clinton High School. We were the first class to graduate from the new building, and therefor, graduation was a little different this year. There were 149 graduates. it seemed to go faster this time but maybe that was becasue we were the ones graduating. Many of the mid-term graduates came back to attend the formal ceremonies with the rest of the class. Several of our class hadd graduated earlier and were already working and attending other schools. The graduation exercises were crowded with all the seats on the floor taken, and most of the bleachers filled.
The program included songs by the band and chorus, and special number requested by the senior class by Sara Jenkins "O Bless the Lord My Soul." The welcoming address was given by Maureen Krueser.
Chris Weikel, our class president, then looked by on our four years in high school.

| Paul Gregor as student council president gave his thoughts on the council accomplishment this last year. |

| Mr Futrell was the main speaker of the evening. He admonished us to look ahead and fulfill our goals. The diplomas were then awarded by Mr. Carl Troxel, the school board president. The class then sang the traditional "Alma Mater" and turned their tassels. |
