' Evening In Paris ' Sets Mood For Ptom Evening in Paris ' the 1965 Prom, set the mood for an unforgettable eve- ning. Corky Teegargen and Holly Riggle performed their last official act as reigning king and queen by crowning their successors Dave Welch and Pat Hartely. Highlighting the dance was the music by Buddy Presnor and his Or- chestra. The weekend was completed with the traditional beach party on Sunday. French paintings artistically ar- ranged on the wall and sidewalk cafes with crepe paper awnings added to the already romantic setting. Because of the hard work and ingenuity required in planning the decorations, Carol Mer- cer, decorations chairman, was present- ed with a dozen white roses as a token of her classmate ' s appreciation. Queen Pat Hartley was presented with a dozen red roses and King Dave Welch a crown of flowers. Their court included Jean Godlewski, Jenny Vajda, Bob Siurek, and Mike Goffredo. Corky Teegarden and Holly Riggle crown Dave Welch and Pat Hartley King and Queen as their court of Mike Goffredo, Jean Godlewski, Bob Siurek and Jenny Vajda look on.

Class Of 1965 Graduates In ' New ' 6HS Graduation for the Class of 1965 spelled uniqueness. The class chose to change the traditional color of robes from black to gold. It also had the honor of being the first class to gradu- ate from the new school. The graduation ceremonies were held in the auditorium with Fred Hanak and Jean Godlewski escorting the class down the aisle to their seats. Reverend Hamilton was the main speaker of the evening. Following his address Mr. Sheely and Dr. Schilling also gave short speeches. Lynda Jens, Valedictorian, and Lida Rygas, Saluta- torian, added to the evening with their short addresses. Each student then walked on stage to receive his diploma, finding it hard to believe the toils and joys of his high school days were at an end. As the class advanced their last tossels, the door to a new life was unlocked and they walked out of the auditorium for the last time with their fond memories of GHS going with them. Class of 1965 walks down the aisle of the auditorium as students of GHS for the last time. Doctor Paul Schilling gave each of the graduating seniors his diploma. Rev.
