Graduation Opens Door to Future Helping the principal ' s secretary, Mrs. Doris Willis, is good secretarial experience for senior, Sandy Ade. With a misty eye and a reminiscing heart, the class of 1967 of Jefferson High School filed into the gymnasium on June 8, for Com- mencement. This event climaxed three long years at Jeff and opened the doors to an un- known future. Vesper Services were held the previous Sunday afternoon, where the students finally realized that their high school careers were near an end. At the graduation ceremony, the graduating students processed in their long gowns into the gym to the playing of Pomp and Circum- stance. As they marched to the stage one by one, members of the Lafayette School Board presented their diplomas. After flipping the tassels on their mortar boards, those graduated joined the multitude of the alumni of Jeffer- son High School. The top ten members of the class wore gold tassels. The traditional Battle Hymn of the Repub- lic was sung by the A Cappella Choir and the graduates left the gym to the tune of Sons of Jefferson. Participating in the solemn graduation exercises in May marks a stepping stone in the life of senior Joy Good.

The committee chairmen were Joy Good, dec- orations; Marjie Glenn, band; Francis Van- Dermay, pictures; Marsha Kennedy, invita- tions ; John VonKannon, publicity ; Connie Underwood, tickets ; and Pat Kienly, programs.
