Thompson Once lb a lifetime With 'LPatriotism striking the theme of Senior Week, commencement became a longfawaited actuality to Penny and Pete. How proud they were of their commencement speakers, Marjory Simundson and Harry Peltzer, whom they had helped to choose, and Hans Thompson and Carol Freeman, the faculty's choice. They found the general topic of commencement, Youth's Program, Today and Tomorrow, a question in which they had a vital interest, with Carol and Harry presenting the immediate problems, and Marjory and Hans discussing the future. Harry Peltzer, Senior Class president, appointed Beulah Anstey and Dolly Michailoif cofchairmen of Class Day. Later, the chairmen of various committees were announced. They were Harold Latourette, Class History, Phyllis Walsworth, Class Prophecy, Verna Porn, Class Will, and Pete Hill, Master of Ceremonies. Cofchairmen of commencement were Joan Hackman, Joyce Harris and Ethan Austin. Penny bought a new pastel formal for this longfawaited climax, and Pete appeared in all his sartorial elegance. When they had actually arrived at the building on June 2, and stood in line waiting for the ceremony, Penny felt a strange tug at her heart when she thought how soon it would all be over- friends separated, faculty gone and corridors deserted. She wondered if the future could ever be as happy or profitable as these past five years. But Penny still had the Prom to look forward to. Jerry Crlob and Jean Foster were cofchairmmen of this affair, which was held at the Highline Spanish Castle. This was the second year Highline had sponsored a Prom and because of its glorious success, Penny and Pete hoped to insure it as an annual event. A spiritual inspiration was offered to the graduates at baccalaureate as a more serious contrast to the hilarity of J . l Senior Week. Pete was extremely uncomfortable during the y 4' 1 ceremony because his new shirt had such a scratchy collar, ,ilf 1 fn f , , XX nevertheless, he sat so still that Penny watched him with i A Q llfill concern. l ' T if 'My When Mr. Lemon, head Senior Class adviser, an' f 'Qi 'fl nounced MarjorY Simundson and Bob Henwood as valedicf 'l llff X 1 ll l torian and salutatorian, respectively, Penny was glad their diligence had been rewarded so fully.
