GRADUATION This year the Graduation program and the Christmas pageant were joined together in one beautiful ceremony. A happy combination of groups of white- robed graduates in their processional and colorful scenes depicting the Christmas spirit as observed by children of many lands and climates was a brilliant and interesting spectacle to watch. This thrilling Graduation spectacle was made possible by the efforts of our faculty. Without the aid of the faculty, we should have been unable to have carried this program forward to success. We are particularly indebted to those teachers who directed the Christmas plays of foreign lands that were given great success. This Graduation, which was held on December 21st, ended the three joyous years at Garfield for the High Nine Class. In these three years, we graduates have learned many valuable things besides our academic studies. We have a better insight into many other fields — citizenship, statesmanship, fair play, honor. We are now ready, we feel, to begin our Senior High School work at an advantage as compared to students who have not had the privilege of a Junior High School course. We leave Garfield with joyous expectation of good school days to come. In addition to the formal graduation, a dinner was held exclusively for the graduating class. At this wonderful turkey dinner, the Garfield mothers waited on their sons and daughters — the gradu- ates. A dance, too — given for the High Nines — afterward in the cafeteria was en- joyed by them to the fullest. For this, too, we must thank the faculty. We graduates feel that we must express this thanks to the faculty. The teachers do many things while standing in the back- ground — which the students not only do not appreciate, but for which they reap all the glory and credit. Thus, as the High Nine Class leaves Garfield, they express through me their deep, sincere appreciation to the teachers, advisors, and counselors who have taught and advised them during these past three years. BOB NUCKOLLS, Editor.
