Town Talk II

The FHS Class of 2014 graduation was hastily moved from the football field to the junior high auditorium Friday night. A rain storm blew in around 6:00 p.m. and was still raining at 6:30 p.m. The decision came about one hour before the 8:00 p.m. graduation and was quite a scramble to move people, graduates, diplomas, sound systems, etc. But it all worked out and the students still received their diplomas.
