New social studies courses included Economics, Gov- ernment, Sociology, and Ancient History. In senior-year English, the new choices involved Com- position, Journalism, English Literature, and World Lit- ature. Other new electives, including half-day courses at East Aurora High School, were Cosmetology, Auto Mechanics, and Data Processing, all offered to prepare students for a particular occupation after high school. The ICS guidance department reported that these elect- tives allowed more latitude in a student ' s curriculum. According to research, the department said, students are more interested in classes they have chosen themselves. Cosmetologist Barbara Zieziula sets a customer ' s hair. 18 Academics

Commencement denotes goal-line, Mr. Bartoo points out My sincere congratulations to you, Class of 1968, upon your graduation from the Iroquois Central High School. Commencement, as we know it, denotes that thin line between immaturity and maturity. It is a goal- line reached only through a systematic action of study, participation, decision-making, perseverance, etc. You were assisted most of the way by the guidance and counseling of parents, teachers, clergy, and friends. After commencement comes maturity and independ- ence. Each decision will be your own with the ever- resultant consequences of gain or loss, happiness or sorrow, right or wrong. The wise will learn to convert reverses into gainful growth through tolerance, logic, and careful planning. There is no limit on success. The answer rests with you. America guarantees you the right to make decisions for yourself as a mature individual. It also demands an equal responsibility for that right— that your decisions will function within the laws of the land. Best wishes, dear friends— Do not abdicate your rights to any group, nor fail in recognizing your responsibilities. —A. Donald Bartoo Miss Joan Albarella, English Gene Beckwith, music Mrs. Eugenia Bender, French Robert Bowen, English Mrs. Dorothy Ceranski, dental hygienist Mrs. Elizabeth Clack, Latin and French Mrs. Sally Cleesattel, English A.

Plan your memories, advises Mr. Hickey Memories can be beautiful, pleasant and satisfying. They are vital to the well-being of any person. I like to believe that, as bread is to flesh and blood, so also are memories to the soul. If we investigate the reasons for derelicts, both young and old, existing in our society, we find that they have been overwhelmed by unpleasant memories. Memory of unfortunate associations, if nurtured by constant recall, has been observed to warp the mind and life of him who will not forgive. Please allow me to counsel that memories can be plan- ned. When you have been wronged, the act of commiting a kindness in return for harsh or inhuman treatment will live in your memory as an experience. By planning, you can prevent the storing of unhappy memories. I hope that your association with Iroquois Central has provided you with pleasant memories. Congratulations. — Robert J.
