Graduation - an Laughter filled the halls before graduation as happy seniors antici- pated the arrival of their final school days. When these days came upon them at last, there was little laughter at the school and many tears. All the seniors awaited the moment when the class averages were announced. Lucille All was chosen valedictorian and Frankie Deisher, salutatorian. However, the laughter and the tears are in the past for the senior, and with commencement came the responsibility of adulthood. Then is shown the true worth of these individuals— their associations with others. The girls hurried to get ready. Mr. Sprinkle presented awards to those Seniors who had a record of perfect attendance. 160 At last the big moment for the seniors had arrived.

by “Dazzling Diamonds” Mrs. Hedgebeth, a junior sponsor thanked all those who had helped with the prom. Prom night, with its unique and un- usual theme and casual atmosphere, greatly contrasted with the activity that had preceded the opening dance, for juniors had hurried, as they had never hurried before, to finish decorating for Dazzling Diamonds. Juniors, seniors, and guests spent an evening of conversa- tion and dancing to the music of The Invadors . The Juniors chose the king and queen as the highlight of the eve- ning. All seniors and their dates were called forward individually so they could see the crowning of the king and queen. Danny Bryant and Carolyn McAllister were crowned king and queen of the James River prom. | 59
