The week was full of activities as the Senior Class of thirteen left early Monday morning for their Senior Trip.

The auditorium was filled as the group marched proudly down the aisle to the sing- ing of Ancient of Days by the Harding Academy Chorus. Elected Most Likely to Succeed , Victor Boone and Sandra Herndon gave very impressive salutatory and valedictory addresses respectively. The main speaker for the evening was John Noble, author of the well- known' 1 BACCALAUREATE SERMON SUNDAY, MAY 3l, i959 7:00 P.M. PRocEssioNAL, O God. our Help in Ages Pan ............

book Back From the Dead . Mr. Noble gave a stirring speech that touched the emotions of everyone present. The terrible dangers of Communism as well as the urgent need for Americans to wake up to these dangers and become prepared were thoroughly im- pressed upon minds of all present. Mr. Noble told his attentive listeners that America as a whole needed to turn to God. Only in Him can world peace be accomplished, was one of his most powerful statements. ' When the time had come for the diplomas to be given out each Senior sat nervous- ly in his chair awaiting his turn. Dr. Clifton L. Ganus gave the Seniors their official document and as they marched away to the soft notes of Lead On, O King Eternal , tiny drops of tears could be seen falling from the eyes of many. Suddenly it was all over, Twelve years of hard work had quickly and abruptly come to a halt. This was the final chapter. This was the climax to a glorious and wonder- ful episode. Only the memory remains. GRADUATION EXERCISES THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1959 3 azoo PM. PROCESSIONAL. Ancient ot Days ,.........,....,..................
