BACCALAUREATE and CGMMENCEMENT On May 31, l959, the Baccalaureate Service was held in the Penn- ridge High School auditorium. Reverend John Ehrhart of St. Ste- phenis United Church of Christ of Perkasie delivered a challenging message entitled 'The Road Leads Onf' He reminded the graduating seniors that they need not walk alone on the path of life. The A cap- pella Choir provided the music for this impressive and inspiring service. On Wednesday evening June 3, 1959, the Seniors received the rewards of twelve years of hard work. The Commencement Exer- cises began at 8:00 P.M. with the academic procession of students and teachers attired in caps and gowns. After the Star-Spangled Banner and invocation by Reverend David Derstine, the student speakers-Barbara Geiger, Bertina Detweiler, and Pat Kriebel- spoke on the Past, Present, and Future of Education in the Penn- ridge Area. Following the student orations, the guest speaker, Dr. Neal Bowman of the National Association of Manufacturers, ad- dressed the graduates, urging them to be individuals. Music was provided by the Senior Mixed Chorus and the Senior Trumpet Quar- tet. Mr. Grasse presented awards to students who had made out- standing achievements in high school. Then came the big moment- Mr. Harold Buckner, President of the School Board, presented each graduating Senior with his hard-earned diploma. The program drew to a close with the benediction by Reverend Derstine. Then the stu- dents sang the Alma Mater for the last time as a class. And so, with a few tears and a few smiles, the Class of ,59 left Pennridge. Jean Moyer Beverly Landes 58
