Armstrong, who joined the Scaly
force in April 1988, alleged in his
suit that was filed in U.S. District
Court last year that Chief Martin
had attempted to remove him from
his employment by remarks regard-
ing Armstrong’s age and heart
surgery he underwent in June 1991.
Armstrong has asked for a trial by
jury.
If parents and other relatives of this year's crop of
Scaly High School graduates are worried about what
will or will not happen at commencement exercises,
they can rest easy, at least for the time being; every-
thing was worked out at the May 11 school board
meeting.
1 he question Tuesday revolved around die principal
of separation of church and state in general and of
prayer in school in particular.
To be more specific, may prayers be offered at
school functions, and to what degree may clergymen
be involved?
A side issue was “will there be a speaker at this
year’s commencement?" Carolyn Bilski asked the
question during the “open forum” part of the meeting.
What it all boils down to is that all of the above can
happen just as long as the graduates themselves make

By unanimous consent they can choose someone
other than a minister to offer the invocation and bene-
diction and someone to deliver the commencement ad-
dress.
The Supreme Court decision governing the matter
reads, “The Board shall not permit clergymen to de-
liver invocations or benedictions at promotional and
graduation ceremonies for secondary schools; nor shall
school officials direct the performance of a formal re-
ligious exercise at such ceremonies.”
Although the law docs not specifically forbid a
minister from speaking, it would be difficult, as High
School Principal Wayne Lincecum observed, for a
clergyman to completely ignore religion as it would be
for him (Lincecum) to not mention education in a
speech he might make.
