Class History - f The final musical event of the year was the second annual band concert on May 24. The com- munity has been greatly interested in the growth and development of this fine band, and the large audience was happy to see them perform in their gay red uniforms and to hear their stirring music. There remained a few more days of toil and struggle to master that last proposition of trig, one more rule in English grammar, time for a final argument in P. O. D., a last typing assignment, a hurried finishing of shop, home ec. and ag. projects. Ah! Now we can relax. Oh, no, we must practice our class song, rehearse for Class Day, learn to walk for Baccalaureate and Commencement. The class night program on June 2 proved to be a delightful presentation of humorous scenes from the history of our class, interspersed with an entertaining variety of musical numbers, irnitations, and dances. This was one last grand display of the talent of our class. The performance was given in the afternoon for the student body and in the evening for parents and other friends and relatives. On June 4 we soberly marched up the aisle of the Cedarville Church to hear Rev. Adams preach an inspiring sermon. June 6 - Commencement! With happy hearts we received our hard--earned diplomas. Our honor students - Janet Christman, Joyce Swinehart, and Joseph Smith - delivered fine speeches, and we returned to the auditorium to receive congratulations upon our completion of this, the first step in our preparation for the future. June 7, as Norco alumni, we sat upon the st age and witnessed the last assembly in our high school days. Many poignant memories will center around this day, with its farewclls, tears and good wishes from underclassmen and teachers. We hope it will be au revoir, and that we can often return to see class after class going on to even greater heights of achievement. -an- 2 FAVORITE SONGS Lee Batdorf-t'Dearie John Belman- Count Every Star Eleanor Brannan-t'Baby, Won't Yo Love Me?
