Owen County High School graduated 116 seniors in ceremonies Saturday
afternoon. Above, Tiffany Kemper, Kyle Bruener, Candace Osborne,
George Kramer and Trey Knoche flipped their tassels at the end
of the ceremony. Right, Teena Lynn, Jessica Wright, Joe Osborne
and Anthony Pinson posed for a picture. Valedictorians, Megan
Minch and Kayla Meadows gave speeches during the ceremony. Joshua
Mears was also a valedictorian. Seniors Lauren Marston, Andrew
Gilbert and Salutatorian Ian Gunkler also spoke during the ceremony.
Ceremony
a time for reflection
There’s nothing
like a graduation ceremony to bring on the waterworks, and that
is precisely what happened Saturday afternoon. As another class
of seniors imparted on what will be — cliche, I know —
their next great adventure, graduates couldn’t help but
look back on the last 12, 13, or more years together.
Traditions
still include prayer
Fifty-four years ago,
the class of 1952 was the first to graduate from Owen County High
School. More than half a century later, the class of 2006 proudly
marched as the newest installment of Owen Countians ready to set
the world on fire.

Owen County is in
the process of upgrading the 911 emergency system to provide
better and more complete services to its residents.
It has been over a decade since the county underwent a massive
911 update, and this newest upgrade will take Owen Countians
“to the next level of addressing,” says Judge-Executive
Billy O’Banion.

museum closer to completion, open house being planned
About
$10,000 still needed to bring house up to desired level
It has been
a long time coming, but the Owen County Museum —
operated by the Historical Society — plans to be
open for business by Christmas. That means a significant
amount of work has to be completed during the summer and
fall months.
