1954 Awards XVith the tune Pomp and Circumstancei' set- ting the pace, 495 members of an outstanding class walked down the aisle of the College of Puget Sound Memorial Fieldhouse to receive their diplomas in Stadiums seventy-first gradua- tion exercises. Maintaining a 4.0 straight A record through- out their three high school years, Pete Swan, Lois Needham, Dave Long, and Shirley Green were honored as valedictorians. They took their places on the platform along with the class officers, and each valedictorian took one line of this poem as his topic and addressed his classmates in the final assembly: YVhatl you have not a star, and you are going to the seal lnto battle without music! On a journey without a book! XVhatl you have not love, and you talk of livingl The words of this poem were written by Alfred de Musset. Scholarships are based on grades, leadership, character, achievement and aptitude tests, per- sonality, need, and special abilities such as music, dramatics, and public speaking. A student who sets a goal to earn a scholarship should begin in the ninth grade by taking the correct courses for college entrance. He should not spend all his time in study, but have a well-rounded school life, taking an active part in extra-curricular activities, and developing his personality suflici- ently so that he holds elective offices. The larger scholarships to the respective col- leges were presented to the following students by Miss Forbes and Mr. Christie: Rose Mary Bacina, Seattle University, Patricia C. Berg, Lin- field College, Susan B. Cranberg, Colorado Col- lege, james C. Hamilton, VVestern YVashington College of Education, Beverly bl. Karola, YVash- ington State College, Darrell XV.
