Class of ' 65 Enjoy s Banquet, Senior Week During the last week in May the class of 1965 par¬ ticipated in Senior Week. Monday through Friday the seniors wore the special outfit of the day which ranged from Bermuda shorts to Dress-up apparel. While their participation in senior week allowed seniors to endulge in some fun before facing the mountainous task of studying for final exams, it also served to remind them that their final high school year would be drawing to a close in a few days. It was the Senior Banquet, held on May 8, which paved the way for final activities. Scholastic achievement and service to the school was announced and rewarded accordingly when out¬ standing seniors were recognized at the awards assem¬ bly. Aside from personal recognition, seniors were able to review with pride and satisfaction their record of the past four years as students at M.H.S. The 1965 graduating class left behind a legacy of high scholastic, moral, and social achievement. Commencement and baccalaureate climaxed four years of fun, homework, and growing pains for Mor¬ ton’s 1965 senior class. Baccalaureate was held in Tech Auditorium while the Hammond Civic Center accommodated the Governors and their parents for commencement exercises on June 10th. UNAWARE of the impending confiscation of his toy, ber- muda-clad senior Tim Summner enjoys one of the privileges of senior week. Mr. W. Volk, Assistant Principal, apparently has another thought on the matter. CONFERENCES such as these were held often during April to plan the Senior Banquet. Here Chris Brown, John Gero- vac, Paul Scott, Chris Toth, Sharyn Barynes, and Jim Tomsic form a committee.
