The occasion . . .Commencement. Asthe first strains of Pomp and Circumstance drift through the door, I hurriedly ask someone whether my hat is on straight. Before very long I have entered the gym and with the first glimpse of my friends, neighbors, and classmates, tears fill my eyes. Suddenly I look up at the basketball net . . . Yea! I made a basket! Here I was, back in my freshman gym class. I was really exuberant at making that basket! It was only the second week of school, and the memories of the first hectic days were still vividly marked in my memory. But fortunately, before the year was up, our class was becoming quite adept in high school ways. Our sophomore year proved even more exciting than our freshman year. Some of our boys even got to play on the varsity football team! I suddenly came back to reality as I saw my parents and relatives sitting at my right. I smiled. Then . . . Hey! Give me some more tape! It's the night before the prom, and we still have some more decorating to do. Re- member how we had to work to make enough money for the prom? Boy, did we have to work! We had several dances, bake sales, rummage sales; andwe even entered a con- test to see which school could get the most bottle caps and bread labels. After drink- ing Canada Dry for three months, we lost. Oh, well, we were good losers and kept on working to have one of the nicest proms ever. The theme was Apple Blossom Time. Of course, this was also the year that we got our class rings. Our class play, I Was a Teenage Dracula, was a great success, too. Finally came our senior year. Shirley Wells was chosen Homecoming Queen. Our class play, Father of the Bride, showed our great dramatic talent. We said good-by for the last time to our bus rides, football games, school dances, pep assemblies, and English classes. Of course, we had the time of our lives senior night. I'll never forget the . . . Someone was handing me something. My diploma! I smiled and, on the verge of tears, said, Thank you. As I accepted my diploma, I realized how grateful I am for my education, my good times, and my wonderful memories. HALL'S DRIVE-IN Leatherwood Road Barnesville, Ohio
