Salina Central celebrates graduates in weekend ceremony
Salina High School Central had its commencement at 5 p.m. Sunday at Tony s Pizza Event s Center.
Salina Central s graduation featured addresses from two alumni, former Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and astronaut Steven Hawley.
Hawley, who spent over 30 days total in space, recalled his own graduation ceremony, and the keynote given by Senator Bob Dole.

In a few more years, on a day like today, one of you may stand before this podium addressing another graduating class, Dole said in 1969. Whichever one of you that speaker is will have gained, hopefully, something more than wrinkles and a few gray hairs over the years, and will have something more to pass along to the graduating class.
