Senior Days Summarize High School Career ln the past the senior class has been allowed one day for gradu- ation and baccalaureate practice, senior assembly. This year the senior breakfast and lunch, and class began its expanded activities on Thursday morning after their last exam. Picnic lunches, prepar- ed by the school cafeteria, were enjoyed on the lawn between Par- sons and McQuilkin Halls. After- wards the practices began. Following the practices, seniors headed for a nearby swimming pool, rented for the occasion. Hav- ing exercised in the sun for an entire day, the seniors readily greeted this opportunity. At nine o'clock Friday morning, June 4th, the seniors gathered for breakfast in the cafeteria. Here 'vt Senior relax on the flag lawn, a rest during graduation practices. Because the seniors had to attend no classes on Friday, they had much leisure time they received their senior auto- graph sections for the yearbook and were then entertained by two Patrick Henry folk groups, follow- ed by more tiring practices. For their last school assembly, seniors donned their caps and gowns and paraded into the gym where the entire student body, faculty, and guests were assem- bled. Their high school career was highlighted, prophecy and history read and dedication presented. The class gifts to the school were pictures of the men each hall was named for and plans for a senior court to be built in the courtyard between Parsons and Persinger Halls. That evening an informal dance was held in the school cafeteria to end two memorable senior days.
