To correspond with the theme, the dining rcom was decorated with gay paper objects representing designs ot the pres- ent and the future. Happiness was reflected in the smiling faces of us, seniors, as we assembled in the school auditorium for Commencement Exercises on Iune 15. The theme of our program, World Understanding, was carried out in the talks given by the Valedictorian and Salutatorians. Diplomas were presented to the students by Mr. Samuelson, and special awards were announced by Mr. lanes. Music for the occasion was pro- vided by a group of mixed vcices, a solo by Carole Gallick, and our school hymn which was sung by the entire senior class. SALUTATORIANS Upper left: lean Eide.
