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
