Next President Scott Smyth gave a welcoming speech to all the students. Sammy Graham and Nancy Cornelius presented the topics to be talked about in the program and who would read each one of them. Kris Wesson stood and led the class in "I Can See Clearly Now", with music provided by Dwain East, John McWilliams, Jeff Watson, Dan Fincher. The wills, made by the students, were read next by Joan McKinnon and Gwen Gulley. "I Can See" (as printed, actually "Now We See"), the Class Poem, was written and read by Sandy Graham. The prophecies were read next by Dwain East and Debbie Butler. The closing of the assembly was given by Vicki Henry. Then everyone stood and sang the Alma Mater led by Donna Avery and Terry Spearman.
