f K ex R. Seniors Show Tears, Laughter Seniors went through commence- ment exercises on May 29, 1971, and received their high school diplomas. Caps and gowns, symbols of graduation, were returned by the graduates immediately after the ceremony. The graduates exhibited mixed emotions and reactions to graduat- ing. A few tears were seen and more than one saddened face was evident. The majority of graduates were happy at passing this milestone in their lives. Smiles and wishes of good luck were exhibited by most of the graduates. After two senior boys came too late to participate in commence- ment, and after commencement one young lady lost her diploma, Fal- furria's 1971 Seniors seemed unsure that their high school years were finally finished. Students walk hurriedly off stage after receiving their diplomas from Mr. Strong, relieved that its finally over. Ricky Waters folds his gown, and Don Haynes checks with Miss Holt as they return their caps and gowns after graduation. Disrobing, handshakes and con- gratulations are seen amid the con- fusion im m e diately after commencement.
