GRADUAUON This is a day of days- Not one that merely comes along, Not just another day To taste and throw away But one that wakens into song. . . These words do describe the spe- cial day of GRADUATION. Each senior realized the fulfillment of his first main goal-and each stood ready to create and pursue new ones.

Senior honor students Mary Wheeler, Nancy Brodin, and Ed Holloway talked about making goals and planning for the future. 92
