GRADUATION HF rom Tonight to Tomorrown The Class of 1965 held their graduation outdoors for the first time in many years on June 3, 1965 at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. On the bright spring evening, the seniors filed by the large assemblage in their blue and white gowns. It was easier to accommodate parents, relatives, and friends in the grand- stand than it would have been in the high school audito- rium. The choir under the direction of Mr. Richard Loy performed after which Richard Kozarek, president of the class, spoke on the accomplishments of the class during their four years and what they could accomplish in the future. Valedictorian Joan Schmitz and salutatorian Roselyn Heath expressed the theme F rom Tonight to Tomorrow' in their ad- dresses. Principal Mary McAdams distributed scholarships to mem- bers of the class and superintendent Kenneth Curran pre- sented various awards. Attorney Victor Brietcnfield, presi- dent of the Board of Education, presented diplomas to the 246 graduates. William Mellin's Senior Band closed the con- vocation by playing the Tomah High School song.
