We then had to settle down and make some money for our trip. We sponsored bake sales, proms, suppers, shows, and had a hypnotist show. “Cinderella’s Ball, the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, made us all realize that uation was not far away. The annual swingout program held on Monday, May 26, when Seniors first donned their caps gowns for the first time and march- down town behind the high school band. On Monday, June 1, we left on our Senior trip. We got on the boat in Detroit, on Monday morning. Then we went to Mackinac Island, and then on to Chicago. From Chicago we took a train back to Detroit, on Thursday, June 4. On June 7 our Baccalaureate services were held with Reverend Porter of the Methodist Church as the main speaker. On June 9, we all assembled, for the last time, in the auditorium for our Commencement exercises. Dr. John Stanley Harker, President of Alma College gave the main address of the evening. Bob Fox and Faith Parrott represented us as co-salutatorians and Joan Holmberg delivered the valedictorian address for our class. When eighty-eight Seniors clad in caps and gowns marched across our high school stage to receive their diplomas we then realized our happy high school days had come to an end. 21 Nearing the end of high school days--Baccalaureate
