M. Mrs. Almon Galloway played the processional and the recessional and accompanied the Methodist Choir in Hear My Prayer and Song of Peace . Rev. S. T. Bottrell conducted the Baccalaureate service. Class Night The Program presented June 1, 1954, by the Seniors was a mock class day when the new teacher takes over the class. Jim Pretzer has quite a time on his hands with his newly aquired position as teacher. Taming this group of students, (little devils), who would rather play then study turns out to be some job. In the end everything turns out ok and the students go home with their newly tamed teacher. Honored students, Donald Anaman, James Pretzer, and Frank Rauchholz were presented with pins at this time by Mr. Harry B. Donaldson, for their outstanding work. Mr. Harry B. Donaldson also presented Judy Rockwell with a scholarship to Michigan State College.
