Cli- maxing the final year of preparation for the World of work and higher education, gradua- tion night symbolizes an accomplishment, a milestone in the lives of these people. As students describe it, graduation is a time of happiness and of sadness, a beginning and an end. Speeches by classmates and admin- istrative officials ring in the ears of all pres- ent, and the minds of seniors are crammed full of relief at the completion of a lengthly task, ambitions to meet future challenges, and fears of failure. Yet, amid this conglom- eration of ideas there emerges hope and a faint tingle of excitement as the future is seriously considered. The graduated seniors rise reluctantly and go forth to meet their Worlds. A S: A 1 - diss S .r1's.e.5 As 'the Class of '67 goes toward grad- uation new doors of the future open.

VVhile Seniors dance to the music of the Aqualads, Mr. and Mrs. Yates hop to their thirsty cries. Senior Banquet is Given by Juniors The Days of Wine and Roses left many memories with those who attended the 1967 Junior-Senior Prom. Red roses, candlelight, and music by the Aqualads provided the essential atmosphere for a delightful even- ing. Money-making projects and committee Work by the junior class were well rewarded by the success of the prom. As each couple entered over a gently-sloping bridge, girls were presented long stem red roses. At baccalaureate the Reverend J. C. Noble once more turned the ears of graduating seniors toward serious topics. In a crowded gymnasium, seniors wearing caps and gowns listened to challenges of tomorrow. Exams finished, their high school careers near a close and graduation only days away, the class became inevitably aware of what lay ahead. Brenda Glass, Lyn Gordh, and Donna Perdue watch hungrily as Eddie Tucker generously fills his plate. jj ,iui 171
