Graduation Reports of the last important convocations in a senior's life, class night and commencement, and the special all-city baccalaureate service held this June for the first time. It is the night of January 30, 1936, and we await the start of class night, formally titled Looking Back into the Future. The band opens the program with Glory of the Gridiron. The march is started but never finished, for Di- rector Howland is pounced upon by a mysterious gentleman in black, the house lights go- out, and into the spot- light steps Class President Earl Mit- chell to give the traditional address of welcome. He, too, is removed by the mysterious gentleman. Then follows the first scene of the Nightmare, laid in the school-room of Professor Henry Allen. A unique program of recitations, skits, dances, and musical numbers is presented. The second scene is in a slave mar- ket. Pomarnke entertains, Roebuck does a bit of magic, and Thelma Al- len prophesies. Betty Cockrell ap- pears with the Camel Caravan, load- ed with the Class VVill made up of the usual ingredients and a few too obvious slams. The cave man scene contains some sort of a game, a few taps on the head with a club, the presentation by Betty Cockrell to John Clark of the traditionalsshovel Ca snow shovel this yearj and then-the mysterious gen- tleman in black appears, reveals him- self as Jack Sylvester, and gives the senior farewell, strangely free from tears and sentimentality fthey'll be back as post-gradsj. Commencement-Uanuary 311 . . As the orchestra swings slowly into the strains of Pomp and Circum- stance, 55 gray-gowned seniors, the eleventh graduating class of West High, march slowly down the aisles. After the invocation by Reverend Ermil Frye and music by the a cap- pella choir, the salutatory address, The Pioneer in Wisconsin, the class oration, An American Prob- lem, and the valedictory address, Youth and Leadership, are pre- Page Fifteen sented by john Rundell, Robert Tot- fingham, and Carol VVard respective- y. Mr. Glenn Stephens, school board member, presents the diplomas as the orchestra plays Rubenstein's Ro- mance. After the benediction by Reverend Frye, the 55 gray-gowned seniors march out, as the orchestra plays the inspiring Stars and Stripes For- ever. Baccalaureate, June 7- Late twilight on the Sunday after- noon preceding graduation week finds seniors of East, Central, and lfVest high schools taking part in a bacca- laureate service at Camp Randall sta- dium. The ceremony is ia somber and ef- fective pageant of educational accomp- lishment. After talks by various city and state dignitaries, each of the high school principals presents the gradu- ating class of his school to the super- intendent of schools, Mr. R. W. Bard- well, who, in turn, presents the 800 young people to the community in a gesture indicative of modern educa- tion. The bands and a cappella choirs of each of the three schools also take part in the service, altogether a mem- orable one for the seniors. Class night is held on Thursday night, June ll, after the senior ban- quet. All plans are secretg not even yearbook editors are informed of what the performance will bring. Commencement, June 12 Mr. Volney Barnes, distinguished- looking white-haired principal, comes onto the fern-laden platform and sits down with Rev. Ermil Frye and Dr. R. NV. Huegel. His ruddy face wrink- les with pleasure as he scans the audi- ence. The orchestra begins their open- ing musical number, and West High's fContinued on page 55D
