But Many lmportant Events Page Six The most important of these is Com- mencement, not requiring o ticket but serv- ing as a ticket to tomorrow. On that night solemn boys and girls in long double tile enter the well-known Berry Bowl for the last time as students, To the strains of a familiar processional, they take their places, The invocation, delivered as are the speeches and the benediction by a mem- ber of the graduating class, begins the for- mal ceremonies, As these student speakers express their views-often of Tomorrow , sometimes of What My School l-las Meant to Me , their voices tremble with sincerity and fright, for they realize theirs is the responsibility of representing their class well. Following the speeches the high school band again contributes its share in blend- ing the whole ceremony into a memorable occasion. One of these memories is the pre- sentation of diplomas by Mr. Carl Zim- merman, superintendent of city schools Then the principal of the high school, Mr. Harold Mertz, takes the floor, He presents, with a cordial handshake, the awards and scholarships. These range from small gleaming medals awarded to husky sports heroes to 5200, 5300, and S500 scholar- ships presented to outstanding students, close to tears with the realization that their dreams of college can now be attained. En- thusiasm mounts as honor graduates are rewarded for work well done. Proud, happy, and maybe ci bit regretful the students rise tor the benediction, they turn to greet their friends, Commencement is over.

Friends And Fun, On one of two stormy November nights rain-soaked students present their tickets and are admitted to the Graves apartment, There, eavesdrop- ping on Judy and her confused por- ents, they agree that Mr. Embry's tirst production, Junior Miss , is a hit. The warmth and gaiety of the old gym welcome tired, hoarse football and basket- ball fans. As a blare of music resounds, the dance floor becomes a moving pattern ot reds, yellows, greens, and blues. x .QR pg,- i K Page Five

Came Without Ticlcets Sitting silently in the auditorium too engrossed even to chew bubble gum, leading the grand march, listening to the campaign promises of aspiring, perspiring candidates-these VOTE!! are the big and little Berries, participating in events which L, , need no passports. Liv-. X ln this assortment of school affairs open to any student, one perhaps finds the meaning of school spirit-evasive when one attempts to define it, but there, behind the gaily decorated tables at the prom, in the crow's nest at audi- ' toriums, in guidance groups on election day, Even in the classrooms there is a unity, a school spirit that could well be the S in L.H.S. Monsignor Schall ot St, Vincent's Church presents the message for the annual Christmas program.
