Clemmons, of Supply, remains
hospitalized in New Hanover
Memorial Hospital in Wilmington
after surgery. He was struck and
critically injured in a May 21 accident.
Special music by the West
Brunswick High School Band was
dedicated to Lancaster, just named
the band's outstanding trombonist,
who remains in critical condition in
New Hanover Memorial Hospital in
Wilmington following an aneurysm
in his brain. His older brother.
Eugene Wilson lancaster III, was
one of graduates.
"He is in our thoughts and our
prayers." a band spokesman told the
audience.
As seniors held on to their caps and
tassels in gusting winds, their friends
and relatives filled several bleachers
and overflowed onto the sidewalks
and the lawn of the courtyard.
Because of continuing difficulties
with the public address system,
many in the audience heard only
fragments of the commencement
program.
Speakers in addition to Corley included
senior class officers on the
class motto, "We've Only Just
Begun," Superintendent of Schools
John Kaufhold and Board of Education
Chairman James Forstner.

If you only remember one thing
from high school, let it be a willingness
to learn new things,"
Forstner advised. "1 don't want to
hear about any of you just getting
by." he continued, urging students,
Whatever you do, do it well. You
will be judged by your work."
In a brief inspirational message,
Kaufhold told the graduates, "You
are special," and advised them not to
let others set limits for them.
"Don't let anyone tell you you can't
do something," he urged. "Believe in
yourself. If you believe in yourselves
you can take control of your lives."
Dannielle Bettinger, secretary,
welcomed guests, telling parents that
the graduates "not only welcome, but
we thank you."

somewhat inseparable family."
"We've laughed together, cried
together, and most important of all,
we have made memories together,"
she said. "We will use these experiences
to shape our futures, to
mold what we will become."
"And though physically separated,
we will remain one at heart."
President Felicia Stanley, close to
tears, told classmates, "We will
never say goodbye."
Noting its members' independence
and aggressiveness, she proudly added,
"I know my class will never have
a problem making our stamp on the
world. We've only just begun."
