Knowledge comes , but wisdom lingers expresses the spirit of graduating seniors How very quickly that last year had rushed past. All too soon, gradua- tion had arrived for the seniors, climax- ing the end of their high school career. Fond memories of an activity-filled four years were vividly recalled as the Class of ’65 gathered together for the last, official time. Even the most animated faces became sober as the significance of the occasion was realized. Ambitious and eager to meet the future, yet hesitant to give up the past, the seniors approached a new phase of life. Entering upon the threshold of adulthood, each contemplated the chal- lenge that lay ahead. Pensive, satisfied, Lon P. Monbeck bestows the congratulatory handshake upon one graduate. tearful, smiling, and anxious expressions depicted the varied emotions of the alumni-to-be. Proud parents and congratulating friends watch with esteem as the seniors entered the gym and took their seats. Intent concentration was apparent on every face as speeches were delivered and addresses given. As each graduate stepped forward to receive his diploma, he felt a surge of pride. The final goal had been reached. Students no longer, the new alumni would now enter the adult world. They would seek individual op- portunities and develop skills. Opening Section 19

Provid- ing an opportunity to exchange ideas with students from many different schools, these encouraged the free use of imagination, as well as furnishing basic information necessary to spark creative thinking. Boasting the largest number of institutors again this year was the jour- nalism department.
