Seniors At Graduation ... So Little Time ... So Much To Remember. A misty eyed senior, in her white cap and gown, crosses the stage to receive her diploma. As she returns to her seat, memories of her four high school years flood her mind. She remembers her freshman year when everything was exciting and new. She recalls freshman day when, al- though she wouldn't have admitted it, she was just plain scared, and how welcome she felt when the muumuu clad upper classmen took charge of her. At the Freshie Frolic she met her senior sister and really got to know a senior. She remembers when they changed the bells and how noisy they seemed at first. Before the year ended, Hootenanies were introduced and proved to be a huge success. Her sophomore memories include the first Fine Arts Week and club activity schedule, and the growth of the class of 68's spirit until it hit its peak with the winning of the class competi- tion trophy. The novelty of being an upper class- man and the experience of meeting the new vice-principal were part of being a junior. She then begins thinking about the year which has just passed, her senior year. The ex- citement of the prom, banquet, baccalaureate, and graduation are still fresh in her mind and she dwells on them for a few moments. As she joins in the singing of the Alma Mater, she recalls from each year the flurry of prepar- ing for Spring Show, the Mother-Daughter teas, Harvest, Welcome Sweet Spring, April Show- ers, and Graduation, the Dad-Daughter ban- quets, and the awards assemblies and talent shows. She remembers Cotton Dress Days from each year when the May Queen was announced and the yearbooks were presented. Her four books, Profile of a School, Operation Big Change, Ladders to Learning,'' and A Good Name is Rather to be Chosen That Great Riches, will always bring back fond memories. She looks back on the new majors which have been added during her four years, medical assistants her freshman year, and legal secretarial, nursery school, and two-year manual shorthand during each of the next three years. As she files out of the auditorium, she ends her high school life and enters the adult world, but she will always carry with her the memories of these four years.
