151 Girls, 158 Boys Receive Diplomas A banquet and dance at the Jefferson Hotel on May 20 began Graduation activities for 309 seniors. On May 28 at First Baptist Church, white and blue robed seniors could be seen marching in to hear the Commencement Sermon, “What Are You Good For?’’ delivered by Dr. Theodore F. Adams, pastor of the church. The following Tuesday, the Class assembled in the audi- torium with the juniors to hear the announcement of awards and the traditional Class Day speakers. Soon, how- ever, examinations brought seniors back to reality and provided an end of the year challenge for all students. ‘“‘Computerizing Life’s Choices’”’ was the topic of Gradu- ation speakers, Karen Bonner, Carol Ekhaml, and Polly Sheffield at the Graduation ceremony in the Mosque on the evening of June 6. With mixed emotions, each senior gratefully received his diploma from Mr. Reid and went back to sit with his class for the last time. 27 At Baccalaureate, seniors (ABOVE) enjoy the excitement of wearing caps and gowns for the first time. Sandy Swanson (LEFT) ponders the future as memories of the Senior Class fade into the background. Harvey Ber- man and Dan Kirkpatrick (BELOW) arrange a bull skull to help Nancy Kirby predict the future for the Class of ’67. URES ASR TIS eer Nope

WE REACH OUT to teachers for new interest in learning Although sometimes boring or routine, classes were often made interesting, even on Mondays, by teachers who were excited about their subject matter and were able to transmit this enthusiasm to us. Sponsoring our clubs and publications, they added new dimensions to classroom teaching and furthered our growth. Moments snatched between classes or during activi- ties period found us seeking advice concerning prob- lems, getting help with homework assignments, or just enjoying conversation with teachers willing to listen. Members of the faculty did more than direct our plays, approve our page proofs, and instruct our classes: they stimulated our intellectual curiosity and caused us to ex- amine our values and ideas, thereby expanding our thought to include new concepts. To them we reached for guidance and knowledge.
