ONE GRADUATION CLIMAXES FOUR YEARS SCANNING college information on scholarships is senior Audrey Jasas in the guidance office. NOT TOO SAD, 1963 graduates await the final moments of the evening when they will receive their diplomas. This year at CPHS as in the past, there were activities planned to give students the opportunity of discussing their futures. For the college bound there was College Night on March 5 at which representatives from many state universities came to the school to an¬ swer questions and assist in decision-making. Most students looked forward to Career Day, not only because it meant a day of no classes, but also because it provided a chance to get an inside view of future occupations. This year it was on April 8. With four Career Days and two College Nights behind them, the seniors neared and finally realized the end of high school days on Commencement Day May 29 — a day of many mixed emotions. STEPPINC INTO THE FUTURE, Arlyn Czimer happily proceeds down the stairs with her newly acquired sheepskin.” 19

ACADEMICS T t jifttnrfr JMope It is true that the Excalibur made Arthur King. As a young member of the Royal Court, he first encountered it stuck fast in a rock by the roadway. Being on a mission to obtain a sword for a fellow courtier who had forgotten to take one to a jousting game, he immediately hoped for the nearly impossible —to draw the sword from the stone. Unknown to him was the fact that whoever could do so was the true king, there being turmoil in the land concerning this matter. Arthur with great effort released the sword and thus became king. The Excalibur became to him a source of hope and confidence. In the study of academics hope is an essential. Students of CPHS find that knowledge gained in the classrooms of science, math, language, and history widen the vistas of future opportunity and success. Thus, to CPHS students the Excalibur is hope, hope increasing with each added bit of knowledge.
