Senior Week, Baccalaureate, Graduation Exercises STAIRS lead to the future for the graduates of 1966. Finishing the last final-examination of their high school career, seniors looked to the Baccalaureate service which was to take place on the following Sunday, May 29, at four o’clock in the Hammond Tech auditorium. The Reverend John Eastwood of the Covenant United Pres¬ byterian Church gave the sermon while other area clergy¬ men offered the invocation and benediction.

MHS seniors participated in the final and most impor- taint event of their high school life, Commencement, on June 2. Held in the Hammond Civic Center, the exer¬ cises commenced at eight o’clock.

Seniors End Careers as High School Students with Addressing the 1966 graduating class, Mr. R. Moore- head, guest speaker at the Senior-Faculty Banquet, told of the many perils and faults of love. Morton seniors and faculty members, numbering 260, gathered at Mama Puntillo’s Restaurant in Highland for the banquet. Leav¬ ing an array of relics and good wishes to future graduat¬ ing classes, the seniors drafted the 1966 Class Will. The Class Prophecy, also written by the seniors, predicted their occupations in 1976. The Citations, a local band, provided entertainment with popular music before and after the banquet. Some seniors stayed to dance while others departed for home or parties. Seniors donned clothing styles ranging from one ex¬ treme to the other during Senior Week. Celebrating Kindergarten Day, seniors wore cut-off pants, short skirts, and decorated shirts, as well as suspenders and knee socks. To complement their attire, seniors sported eyebrow-pencil freckles and pony tails. Shades and Ber¬ muda Day found the class of 1966 hiding behind sun¬ glasses and wearing summer clothes. On Wednesday, seniors wore their senior cords for the last time. The class of 1966 celebrated their final day of school by at¬ tending the Senior Awards assembly where they re¬ ceived special awards for their four years at Morton and scholarships from various universities. They also dressed for the day by wearing special finery including heels, fancy party dresses, suits, ties and white shirts. 20
