march out of Duncan High The days to go were gone; final tests were over. Sen- iors had played in their last games, sold their books. It was the smallest class to graduate from Duncan High since I960; it had gone to high school during the worst flood Duncan had had in 25 years; it had survived two principals and two superin- tendents; it had spent less time practicing for gradua- tion than any other class in many years. It had been the first to decorate and stage a a Ball in the new gym more than three miles away. Leading the class academ- ically were Melody Jones, Kirk Hooper, Sue Shreve, Norma Crockett, Dale Howard. Others participating in Bac- calaureate and Commencement exercises were Bill Cuth- bertson, Julie Dozier, J.B. Lunt, and McKay Pugmire. What to do with those tassels? To think that such a little thing could make S.Wilker- son speechless! C.Herrera, N.Lunt are luckier than he or B.Lunt. All have received diplomas. Now tassels are turned from left to right; seniors are alumni, will sing the Alma Mater they have so carefully practiced. Past board members march graduates ).B.Lunt, N.Crockett, M.Pugmire, A.Thygerson; and tired choir stands to watch. 23
