'4 FIFTY-SIXTH COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM THURSDAY, JUNE 10,1943 cLAss or 1943 C09 Because of the scarcity of materials together with the lack of manpower in our printing industry, The Panther has to go to press earlier this year than formerly. At this time only the probable program of commencement activities is avilable. The averages of the seniors are as yet not computed, therefore the high school authorities have not designated the oration awards. The program printed at the time of commencement will make up for this loss. The class is fortunate, however, in knowing that its commencement orator will be Dr. Don Bate. He is an outstanding author, traveler, commentator, and newswriter. With his background of travel in practically every country of Europe and Asia he is well equipped to speak of a World Ablaze. His understanding of youth and its problems makes it possible for him to place youth in this World Ablaze. Commencement exercises prom- ise to be indeed an event long to be remembered by the Lunsford Community as well as by the class of 1943. C00 AMERICA . . . . . Audience INVOCATION ..... . The Rev.
