For many schools, the month of June means graduation season, and all of the festivities that come with it.
In 1980, Marblehead High School graduated 292 seniors at the Stanford W. Hopkins Stadium. Presenting the seniors with their diplomas was School Committee Chairman Dexter Bucklin.
A June 10, 1980 article in The Daily Evening Item said that “Essay presentations by Robert Wolf and William Sigler, class members, highlighted the program.”
MHS Principal Michael Waring presented awards and scholarships to dozens of seniors, ranging from arts and science awards to scholarships given out by local organizations and businesses.
