A map of the country with flags marking seniors’ college choices hung on the front wall. Later, seniors and dates danced to the music of Mike Harris and the Imperials. Senior Day, May 28, began with class pictures. Excited and anxious seniors, dressed in traditional white for girls and contrasting dark for boys, then filed into the auditorium for the reading of the Prophecy, Last Will and Testament, and the Class Poem.

Bermuda Day Heralds Vacation Restlessness increased as summer vacation drew near. Bermuda Day on May 22 assured Huguenot of having an exchange student and provided the opportunity for students to be comfortable. With the final assembly, activities drew to a close. New SCA officers were installed, Merit Awards given and the Club of the Year Honor awarded to the FHA. Examinations for all students and graduation activities for Seniors heralded the close of a changing year. (ABOVE) Liz Albrecht responds modestly to the deafening applause of her classmates.

P PEACE: GOODY TOWARD (MES. Graduates Receive Diplomas at Mosque Attired in caps and gowns for the first time, the Senior Class took their places at the baccalaureate service, held at Reveille Methodist Church on May 25. Assisted by class chaplain Sallie Brush, Dr. A. Purnell Bailey spoke to the congregation about the gift of gratitude. Graduation at the Mosque on June 5 was a combination of anticipation and regret for a majority of the participating seniors. The commencement speakers selected for their topic lines from Robert Louis Stevenson’s “El Dorado.’’ Having received their diplomas, the Class of 1969 filed out of the Mosque with many happy memories of completed high school years. (ABOVE) The Class of 1969 finds the solemnity of the impressive baccalaureate service a memorable part of graduation. (BELOW) As Dr. Bailey and Sallie Brush lead the recessional, they feel the personal satisfaction gained from the meaningful and inspirational commencement church service.
