Students honored at MLHS Senior Night

The Class of 2004 and their families and friends gathered to remember the laughter, tears, and bumps along the way that has molded them into adults at Senior Awards Night June 2.

Seniors starred at the night honoring their accomplishments. A musical piece by Sara Manuel characterized how the soon-to-be-graduates felt about reaching this milestone in their young lives.

In an emotional moment, Barb Schneider presented the first Christopher Schneider Memorial Scholarships which reminded the Class of 2004 of their two fallen classmates whose presence is greatly missed.

Senior choir members lightened the mood with the ‘Grease’ classic “You’re the One That I Want” which had senior girls swooning over Maple Lake’s John Travolta, Tim Leahy. Their classmates laughed as they danced while performing the number.

Other events included a welcome by senior class Vice President Tammy Wenzel and the reading of the Senior Prophecy by Elyse Malherek, Marie Peterson, and Brittany Pesch while the senior video played, drawing laughter from the crowd.
