Moniteau’s Class of ’23 tosses caps
CHERRY TWP — Except for the faint buzz of conversation that seemed to grow louder from around the corner, the hallways of Moniteau Jr./Sr. High School were mostly quiet — and empty — on the last day of school early Wednesday evening.
Behind gymnasium doors, Moniteau seniors stood with their friends as they had before lunch or between classes. They took pictures, fixed their hair, secured their tassels and snapped pictures.
A little over an hour later, they would gather one last time on stage in the auditorium as a graduating class.
“It’s hard to believe it went by so fast,” David Yeager, father of Moniteau senior Emma Yeager, said.
Yeager graduated from Moniteau in 1998. He entered the workforce shortly after graduating from high school. When asked if there was a piece of advice he would impart to his daughter as she embarked into the “real world,” he said he would tell her to follow her dreams.
