COMMEN CEMENT SPEAKERS CLASS DAY . . . BACCALAUREATE . . . COMMENCBMENT-and in five short days the seniors of 1950, by donning their navy blue caps and gowns, were transformed from high schoolers to adults. Increased enrollment made it necessary for Class Day ceremonies to be held in the new gymnasium. Janet Usher and her committee planned the prophecies, bequests, history, and entertainments for that Friday in June, Chosen by the seniors were Joan Mathews, Rick Anderson, and Chuck Tucker as soloists, the rose as class flower, and the class colors-silver and rose. Speaker Dr. L. David Cowie, assisting ministers, graduate soloists, A Cappella Choir, and Senior Crchestra joined their talents on Sunday afternoon to pay tribute to the graduating seniors. Besides the service, the Baccalaureate Committee, with Muriel Weber as chairman, assembled programs and decorated the auditorium. Friendship was the theme for the senior activities, and so it was that Tuesday evening, June 6, found commencement speakers Jean Browning, Ray Parr, Elaine Daverin, and Bob DeWitt lauding friendship in the home and community, in educaf tional institutions, in the nation, and throughout the world. Adding their own tireless efforts to graduation ceremonies was Margie Tobie's committee, which tallied votes for speakers and the soloists-Lillian Manzo and Joe Paolino, assembled the program, and performed the thankless task of seating the nearly three hundred seniors. Cther committees were on the job throughout the year, not just planning Senior Week activities, but also the many other phases of graduation. Agnes Schindler was in charge of taking orders and fitting caps and gowns. Orders for pins and rings were handled by Mona Beers, the traditional gift was selected and purchased under Betty Mustoe's leadership, and the demand for cards and announcements was supplied by Anne Johanson's committee. Connie Little officiated over Senior Prom arrangements. COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS ' Ray Parr, Jean Browning, Elaine Daverin, Bob DeWitt. .240
