The excitement and expectation of the preceding weeks reaches a peak as graduates await the start of ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ before entering Dogwood Dell and commencement. Graduation Terminates Exciting As the hour of six o’clock on the evening of June 6 drew near, graduates experienced mixed emotions— relief and tension. The excitement of commencement brought anxieties, but one problem was erased—it wasn't going to rain. After the graduating class had proceeded into the beautiful amphitheater at Dogwood Dell, the voices of the concert choir swelled in the open air. Billy Black- well, class president, introduced guests and the three outstanding seniors who would speak on the past, pres- ent, and future. Lawrence Boyce related “A Journey From The Past’ to the audience. As he recalled the progress through the years in man’s search for knowledge, he presented the need for our progress in the future. Diane Cox discussed “A Gateway Into The Future” telling her fellow gradu- ates the responsibility they had in uniting the world. “The World of Tomorrow” was presented by Jay Hold- dren who urged graduates to make good decisions now for their position in the world of tomorrow. As they walked up the aisles of Dogwood Dell to the strains of the recessional, “You'll Never Walk Alone,” the graduates had been inspired to walk into a greater world of their making. Robed in dark gowns, the dignitaries, led by Mr. Fary, proceed into the amphitheater to take their places on the stage. 202 Seniors
