Eagerness and hope mark the class of 1963. □ At 5:00 P.M. on Saturday, June 1, the 287 members of the Senior Class of 1963 assembled for the last time. Their feet seemed suddenly un¬ sure, their hands slightly unsteady, but their heads were held high and proud under their stiff mortar¬ boards as they filed into the Hammond Civic Cen¬ ter for Commencement. Valedictorian Vicki Koczwara and Salutatorian Tom Burke reviewed the four precious years at Bishop Noll and previewed the years to come; the Most Reverend Andrew G. Grutka congratulated the graduates on the four years which had made them strong in body, mind, heart, and soul. The graduates then received their long-awaited diplomas from Brother I. Conrad, F.S.C. They looked to the world with eagerness; the world looked to them with hope H Solemnizing a Pontifical High Mass for the intentions of the Class of 1963 was our Most Reverend Bishop Andrew G. Grutka. They looked to the world with eagerness — the Class of 1963. 20

□ Senior Week for the graduates of 1963 began on Monday, May 27, as the seniors struggled through their fina l exams. On May 28, the last scholastic effort over, they enjoyed fried chicken and barbecues at the Class Picnic at the Indiana Dunes. Threatening rain did not dampen their spirits as they raced, danced, sang, played ball, played cards—“one last time together.” At 9:30 A.M. on Wednesday, May 29, the gay fri¬ volity gave way to solemnity as the seniors filed into St. Joseph’s Church for the celebration of the Baccalaure¬ ate Mass. After Mass, the seniors and their parents attended a Communion Breakfast at St. Stanislaus Hall. The air of solemnity continued on Friday when the Senior Class Holy Hour was held at St. John the Bap¬ tist Church. After the Holy Hour, the seniors read the class will and class prophecies at the Class Night cere¬ monies in the Marian Auditorium; then they were for¬ mally inducted into the Bishop Noll Alumni Associa¬ tion. At 5:00 P.M. on Saturday, June 1, the 287 seniors filed into the Civic Center for Commencement Exer¬ cises. For them, the activities of Senior Week were at an end; so, too, were the activities of four wonderful years at Bishop Noll ■ The perpetual clown Fred Mleczko amuses the other seniors with his zany antics. The Holy Hour provided the last few minutes of spiritual inspiration for Boh Fabian, Joe McBride and Dennis Balka before graduation. Seniors spend their last week together. At the Baccalaureate Breakfast the graduates discuss the approaching day.
