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. Hamilton, St. Luke ' s Methodist Church in In- dianapolis, delivered the main address. 16
