The day had finally come, the long hard twelve years were far from the scattered thoughts of the nervous but proud Seniors. We were Graduating! The very thought of it seemed impossible, but it was happening, really happening. We were not just friends and classmates of the Seniors or just the audience. We Were The Seniors. We were The Graduating Class of 49. We were receiving the diplomas we has been Waiting for. The precious documents lay in our hands, a fulfillment of a twelve year dream. Yes! This Was Our Commencement! 7
