moving our entire new and
used inventory and a
majority of our personnel to
our new home.

Fair weather was on tap
Monday evening as parents,
re la tiv e s and friends
overflowed the Warwick
High School athletic field to
witness the 25th Warwick
High School Commencement
exercises during which the
262-member 1981 graduating
c la ss re ceived th e ir
diplomas.
After the invocation given
by the Rev. Ross M. Goldfus,
the four student speakers
discussed the theme,
“Striving for Success.” The
four orators are: valedic­torians
Kurtis Long and
Kevin Erb, Connie Mellinger
and Jon Beamesderfer. The
four students were among
the top award winners at the
graduation ceremony.
Kevin reminded his
classmates that “Nothing
can take the place of per­sistence.
When combined
with determination, per­sistence
can lift the un­skilled,
unintelligent, and
uneducated from the plains
of mediocrity to the heights
of prosperity.”
Kevin is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ronald Erb, 527 W.
Marion St., and in addition to
receiving the Valedictorian
Award, which is an engraved
wristwatch presented by the
Warwick Township Lions
Club, he received the Lititz
Lions Club Academic
Award, a check for $25, as
the outstanding math
student, and an Honor
Graduate Award.
Kurtis Long, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Long, 135 S.
Cedar St., discussed
“Genius” and told his fellow
graduates that “Genius, as
well as talent, does not
guarantee success, for
unrewarded genius is almost
a proverb. In today’s
technological society, genius
seems to be almost com­monplace.
We are constantly
being bombarded with a
w e a lth of s c ie n tif ic
knowledge that would have
seemed incomprehensible
several decades ago. ’ ’
In addition to receiving the
Valedictorian award, an
engraved watch, he received
the Lititz Lions Academic
Award, a check for $25, as
the outstanding science
student. Kurt also received
an Honor Graduate Award.
Connie M e llin g e r,
daughter of Mrs. Evelyn
Mellinger, 542 Golden St.,
«poke on “Education.” She
said “Education does not
im p ly in te llig e n c e .
Education covers only one or
a few subjects; intelligence
embraces all.” She noted
that “Education does not end
on graduation day, as many
students believe, but it
continues to exist and
flourish with each day of our
lives in everything we do.”
Connie received the Lititz
Woman's Club Scholarship
Award, a stipend of $200
each year for the four years
of college; the Warwick
Education Association
Award, a $280 gift given to
the student who plans to
continue her education
through college or trade
school, and who has given
service to Warwick High
School during her past four
years; and one of the ten
Honor Graduate Awards, a
pin from the National Honor
Society.
Jon Beamesderfer spoke
on the theme, “Talent.” He
told his classmates that
“Indeed, talent is void,
unless continuing in the face
of opposition, one proves he
has it. Talent is in a man’s
power to transform it, to
build upon it, and to utilize it
to the best of his abilities.
The capitalist system of the
United States permits this,
in c o n tr a s t to th e
unrewarding communist
systems throughout the
world.”
The son of Mr. and Mrs.
Glenn Beamesderfer, 23
Green Acre Road, Jon
received the Lititz Lions
Club Academic Award as the
outstanding social studies
student; and an Honor
Graduate Award, a pin from
the National Honor Society.
Also receiving a Lititz
^ions Club Academic
Award, as the outstanding
English student, was Carl
Petticoffer, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Petticoffer, 107 E.
Race St. Carl also received
the Selina Cox Eshleman
Poetry Award and a $3600
SICO Foundation Scholar­ship.

Jon Beamesderfer...“Success also depends
upon self-worth, the value one places upon his life,
and where one expects his talents to lead him."
Connie Mellinger...“Nothing in the world can
take the place of persistence; Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.”
