Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows ... but live your todays. POEM: -------- Live each day to the fullest. Get the most from each hour, each day, and each age of your life. Then you can look forward with confidence, and back without regrets. Be yourself—but be your best self. Dare to be different and to follow your own star. And don't be afraid to be happy. Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul. Believe that those you love, love you. Forget what you have done for your friends, and remember what they have done for you. Disregard what the world owes you, and concentrate on what you owe the world. When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible--then forget it. The moment of absolute certainty never arrives. And above all remember that God helps those who help themselves. Act as if everything depended upon you, and pray as if everything depended upon God. ------ -----Author Unknown CLASS DAY HIGH SCHOOL LITTLE THEATER 1:00 P.M., THURSDAY, MAY 15 1975 Master of Ceremonies Class President........................................................Jeffrey Lee Keeler Class Will.....................................................................................Ronda Andrews Catch Another Butterfly .................................................................Sr. Mixed Ensemble Class Prophecy....................................................................................Myma Imler Student Council Report.........................................................................Michael Snyder Follow Me .......................................................................................Senior Class Giftorians ......................................................................................Senior Class Awards and Recognition....................................................................Principal and Faculty 73 COMMENCEMENT HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM 8:00 P.M., SUNDAY, MAY 18, 1975 Prelude........................... ♦ Processional...................
