Seniors Get Honorsg Provide Entertainment After a breakfast at the Eden Church, the graduating seniors reported at school for the morning session of Senior Day. Noted for out- standing citizenship and achievement, seniors were awarded for their high academics. Scholar- ships were presented with Phil Beetley, Rick El- lis, and Peggy Carnal receiving the Storer Scholarship. Added variety was given to the morning portion with a ballet and several musi- cal numbers. Entertainment was conducted by the seniors for Senior Day afternoon. Skits mimicking the Emmy Awards, teachers and their classes were the highlights of the afternoon. Rock and kazoo bands provided the music. David Owens, impersonating Mr, Jolliffe, tries to direct his unruly band in a Senior Day skit. Rick Cooper adds to his many high school records by breaking the breath holding record.

Seniors Unite Baccalaureate to Commencement Harold Fruit, one of six speakers, delivers his speech at the Graduation exercises. 30-student life The first combined Baccalaureate and Com- mencement exercises were at Emens Auditorium. Six seniors were elected to give a speech on key words in life. The first letter of each key word spelled a most important word to many seniors, Dreams . At intervals between the speakers, the senior members of the band joined with fellow bandsmen for a last number and Robed Choir seniors sang a last song together. Rick Ellis as valedictorian and salutatorian, Phil Beetley were congratulated for their outstanding work, while students with an average of B or above were noted. The first class to go four years at Delta then received their diplomas and became graduates. After Graduation exercises, Seniors wait in line to return graduation caps and gowns. Mr. Stebbins congratulates valedictorian Rick Ellis and salu- tatorian Phil Beetley.
