22 receive diplomas at Tigerton graduation

Tigerton High School held its 105th commencement exercise Friday with a graduating class of 22. “Welcome to the cross roads,” Principal David Battenberg told the class. Autumn Pingel, salutatorian and class president, noted that she became a student at Tigerton in eighth grade, but it didn’t take her long to fit in. Valedictorian Erin Robbins encouraged her classmates to meet the challenges that lie ahead. Class memories were presented by Savannah Mauritz. Diplomas were presented by Superintendent Wayne Johnson, Battenberg and Cary Robbins, School Board vice president. Paul Tober, Class of 1965, who died in 1969 while serving in Vietnam, and Randy Kauffman, Class of 1983, senior budget analyst for Veterans Affairs, were named to the school’s Hall of Fame.
