June Seniors Connie Dyrcgrov, salutatorian Jim Kruskopf, valedictorian Sally Furber, salutatorian When the June class of 1947 marched down the aisle, the familiar strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” were the only resemblance to previous commencement exercises. The class adopted and presented “The Holy Grail of Happiness, an entirely new graduation service which was written by I larold Gregory, speech teacher here at Southwest. The new service made it possible for a large group of seniors to participate. The revolutionary commencement program had been preceded by another “first” for the class. Their play, Miss I. QJ' presented on May 1 and 2, was so new that the third act was incomplete at the time of its adoption. 1 lowcvcr, even with script writers changing scenes at 7:45 the evening of the performance, the play proved to l)c a big success. The much-relieved cast celebrated with a riotous party at Sally Corl's house after the play, an occasion which will remain as one of the outstanding memories of the senior class. Class Day was another gala afTair with a senior auditorium in the morning and a picnic in the afternoon. Thus the June class of 1947 set forth in search of that I loly Grail of I lappincss, leaving behind them an unholy trail of good times.
