Ada High School - We Yearbook (Ada, OH)

THE VITALIZED COM ENCEMENT In former years, when that particular time of the year rolled around for another class to go out from Ada High School, we have, from force of habit, pulled out the traditional commencement program, conf sisting of an address by an outside speaker, the valedictory, musical numbers, and the presentation of diplomas. In the entire history of our high school, this year is the first in which the old program has been left on the shelf and a new one has taken its place. This new program dispenses with an outside speaker, the result of course being a program complete with student participation. In this way we hope to vitalize our commencement exercises--to make them mean more to the studentg to make them more interesting to our parents and friends. We feel justified in making such a radical deviation, if these ends can thereby be gained. A student committee has developed a theme about which they have built the program. With the idea that our seniors will henceforth sail upon the sea of life,our stage has become the home portg our diplomas, the passportsg our guiding principles, the compass, our experiences, the cargog our trials and tribulations, the clouds and tempests. So we have thrown tradition overboard, and drafted new plans. UOUTWAHD BOUNDW Processional .... . . .... . High School Orchestra Port of Graduation . . .....
