May 26th turned out to be the day seniors had been looking forward to for the previous four years of high school study. The graduation ceremony con- sisted of the baccalaureate and com- mencement combined. Beginning promptly at 5:00, the seniors, clad in navy caps and gowns, silently filed into the gymnasium to the beat of Pomp and Circumstance . The stage was set with vases of red roses, the senior class flower; the backdrop displayed the class motto; Know Thy- self . Speeches were given by the vale- dictorian, Donald Walker, and the co- salutatorians, Tonia Schmidt and Gary Simmons. The guest speaker was Dr. George Swafford from Ball State Uni- versity. Awards were given by Mr. Heniser previous to the presentation of diplomas.
