GLADYS WESTBERG Valedictorian We Prepare for The inspirational Baccalaureate Service June 13 in the Edison auditorium further prepared us for the duties and responsibilities awaiting us upon our graduation. We were reminded, by the more serious nature of the service, that although graduation is a happy occasion. it is also a solemn one. The Reverend Howard Conn of the Plymouth Congregational Church delivered an inspiring address. The Choral Club and Choir, directed by Mr. Sodergren, gave the finishing touch to an already beautiful service. Thus, after such an appropriate and thoughtful start, the train of graduation activities began to roll. The banquet, held at the Radisson Hotel. June 10. furnished the perfect climax to our school days. We will all be eternally thankful to our social adviser, Miss M. Simmons, and to the hard working committees who made this important event such a success. We wish also to express our thanks to our senior advisers for the helpfulness and consideration which they extended to us at all times. The theme of the banquet. Gone with the Wind , reflected our feelings as the close of our school days drew near. We will always remember this event as one of the gayest and most entertaining of our school careers.

World Citizenship DELORES PELTIER Salutatorian The Commencement exercises, held in the Edison auditorium June 17, marked the end of another era in our lives. The ceremony was a fitting climax to the four years of high school that we all enjoyed so well. Our class president. Lawrence Lawman, presented the class to Mr. Reichard after a short Invocation by the Rev. Reuben H. Ford. The program, with Delores Peltier acting as narrator, consisted of a series of interviews on World Citizenship, the theme of the program. Those students who participated in the interviews were Douglas Pratt, Delroy Gochnauer, Carol Williams, Loren Lucke, and Gladys Westberg. After a short address, Dr. Robert Gilchrist of the Board of Education, presented us with our diplomas. Mr. Reichard, our principal, presented the special awards and scholarships. Having completed the prescribed high school course, we feel prepared to take our places in the ranks of the adult world. It is on our shoulders that the responsibility of maintaining world peace and good International relationships will fall. It is up to us, then, to be good and worthy world citizens, so that we may do our share in promoting good will and friendship between ourselves and among other nations. Those who are already doing more than their share to promote good citizenship are the 12A class officers: Larry Lawman, Roger Hesselroth, Virginia Parlow, and Douglas Pratt. The future holds opportunities for these fine class leaders who to make our last days as seniors so C L A S 8—0 F F I C E R S Roger HeMolroth. V. Proa.; Lawrence Lawman, Pres.; Virginia Parlow, Sec.
