Students walked into classes to find peculiar, professor type fel¬ low students. The day wasn ' t strictly fun and games, though. Strangely enough some classes reflected a resemblance of order, and dull, routine learning took place. ABOVE RIGHT —Taking over a World Lit. class, Doug Banham gives instruc¬ tions to his class.

Baccalaureate was the beginning of the end, the first step in the process of graduating. Reverend Deaver spoke to the grads and the entire choir sang, with senior choir members singing a special selection. Yes—the end of a long, hard climb. Because of con¬ struction commencement returned to the gym, after two years of exercises on the football field. Even with the cool weather, the gym was stifling due to the standing room only arrangement. Lawrence T. Filosa, presi¬ dent and Executive Director of St. Anthony Medical Cen¬ ter, drew chuckles and inter¬ mittent applause from stu¬ dents and family alike with his address. As he ended, Mr. Filosa announced that his honorarium would be donated to Mr. Johnson ' s missionary trip to Africa. Diplomas were distributed with the usual ease, until Doug Courley surprised all with a swift move, he whip¬ ped a camera from his sleeve and snapped a picture of his fellow classmates. He brought an ease to the ten¬ sion with laughter and applause. The band played The Entertainer , and the ending was over. l FF J —Humoring the graduates and guests, Lawerence T.
