DENMON Staff Writer The Dallas High School Class of 1991 began their 30th Com- mencement Program in the stadium, Tuesday night, but sharp flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder and a sudden rain- fall moved the program inside as Valedictorian Jeri Searfoss hurriedly completed her ad- dress. Following remarks by Su- perintendent Gerald Wycallis, Class President Matthew Buss, competing with the strong winds, said he had enjoyed the years he went to school at Dal- las. “I didn't always enjoy going to school until I was in the higher grades, then I looked forward to going. I will never forget the fun times I had in senior high. “The size of our class made it possible for us to know every- one in our class. I don’t know what I will be doing or where I will be 10 years from now but I will always have the friendships [ made.” Salutatorian Meagan Wega then welcomed relatives and friends to the commencement. “We were an unusual class,” said Meagan. “We entered school at the time of the Viet- nam Conflict and we're gradu- ating at the end of Desert Storm in the Middle East. We experi- enced the flooding of the school library and experienced many other unusualincidents. Com- ing as the ‘Me’ generation, now it's the ‘We’ generation.” Searfoss began to speak as the rain fell and thanked the teachers for their help and inspiration and as the storm grew worse ended quickly, reminding her classmates that they held the keys to the fu- ture, “Wisdom of the Past and Dreams of the Future.” School director Thomas Landon wished the Class of 1991 success and thanked the seniors and the Dallas resi- dents for their support while he was serving in Operation Des- ert Storm. The seniors and the crowd then moved into the Middle School auditorium where the 153 students were awarded their diplomas and the ceremo- nies were concluded. Cross Valley Expressway slated to open Oct. 15 By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer The state Department of Trans- portation (PennDOT) said itis right on schedule with work on the sec- tion of the Cross-Valley Express- ' way that will link Route 309 from the Back Mountain directly with Interstate 81. A spokesperson for the department said that mother nature has played a big role in assuring. that the project will be completed by October 15. “The weather has been super,” said PennDOT spokesman Rolly Keisling. “The winters have been mild and we haven't had much rain to slow us down lately.” The last phase of the project, connecting the Back Mountain and Wilkes-Barre to Route 81, will cost nearly $50 million. The total cost of the expressway is more than $105 million. Crews are cintrently working at the intersection of Routes 115 and 315 making a cloverleaf system which will help motorists heading to I-81. Keisling said that work should be completed by the end of July and the crews will then complete the connection to the Back Moun- tain. “If things go as planned then we should have most everything done by mid-October,” said Keisling. “Right now it does look good that we will meet that mark.” When the work is done there will be three additional access points to the Wilkes-Barre area from 1-81. One of them will head through the Back Mountain towards Tunkhan- nok. Keisling said that PennDOT is expecting additional trafficand will monitor the situation. “We know it’s coming,” said Keisling. “We just don’t know how much so when the work is done we will be watching and making any changes that we feel necessary.” “Whether it will be lower speed limits or more traffic signals, we will do what we feel is necessary,” he added.

If you do not have proper storage traffic, Keisling is excited about the work on the expressway. “It was a Herculean task to get this done on time and it looks like we will do it,” he said. “And once the work is done I'm sure motor- ists are going to love the fact they won't have to deal with all the intersections to go from the Back Mountain to Wilkes-Barre orI-81.” “The final phase is a big one for all motorists, but the people in the Back Mountain must think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread,” he added.
