With solemn faces the Commencement speakers, Tom Yoder, Margaret Wolf, Jim Zolman, Jackie Schlemmer, Tim Richard, Mary Ann Kafoure, listen as Mr. Myers presents the class. Those attaining the highest scholastic average in the 1964 graduating class were Margaret Wolf, valedictorian, and Pat Bennett, salutatorian. In unison the graduating seniors turn their tassels signifying the completion of their commence¬ ment. 5

The End Yet the Beginning Baccalaureate and commencement marked the end of an era for the 1964 graduating seniors. Seniors listened to a sermon entitled The Road Not Taken” at baccalaureate. At graduation exercises members of the class took part either in the musical aspect or in the speaking part. Five class members expressed their ideas in keeping with the theme A Better Life.” After the presentation of the class, the seniors received those long-awaited diplomas. After all had received their diplomas, they turned their tassels and marched out— some with a little reluctance—to face whatever the future may hold. Led by class president Tom Yoder, the seniors proceed into the auditorium at the beginning of Wabash High School’s ninety-third commencement exercise. Seniors talk among themselves to help relieve pre-graduation nervousness. Putting on their caps and gowns, the seniors prepare to pro¬ ceed in. Looks as though Steve Armie might have something in his eye. 4

A Time to Pass Out Bouquets At the end of each year students are honored for their achievements at the awards convocation. Repre¬ sentatives of local groups come to present scholarships and awards to seniors, while people outstanding in athletics or many other fields are honored. Some are surprised (they stumble out on shaky legs to receive their award), and many know of their honor before the convocation. It is always a rather suspense-filled program, and many will never forget. Whatever the case may be, it is a program which serves to recognize all who have in some way qualified to receive an honor.
