Those seniors already seated sat in thoughtful silence as the others found their places. Baccalaureate Showed Seniors the Direction The stage was set in the coliseum and the audience listened to the speaker with rapt attention. In the beginning began the Reverend John DeFoore7s bacca- laureate address, and for the grad- uating class of 1966 it was a begin- ning-and an end. It was the end of twelve years of school and the end of old memories. However, as every member of that class knew, this was a brand new beginning- filled with hope and promise and great expectation. So, as the organ played the recessional march, the class of 1966 left their baccalaure- ate service with a sense of a great change about to take placwthere were only two days until gradua- tion. Rev. John DeFoore gave the baccalaureate ad- dress as both a tribute to and a lesson to the Class of 1966. 52 I

raduation Qpened Doors to the World Once again the processional soundedg this time played by the Ram band, as the graduation ex- ercises hegan on May 31st, eight o'clock in the evening. Parents, teachers, friends, and students were present to hear the main ad- dress given by Dr. George lVl. Stokes and to see each graduating senior receive his letter of con- gratulations. The class of 1966, 436 strong, recognized twenty- three honor students, with James Reed Wilson named as valedictori- an. The evening ended with a mark of enthusiasm that wasn't on the program, but that did sym- bolize the spirit of this class, as they reached the end of the reces- sional and yelled for the last time: nWe're the class that tops the restg Seniors '66 are best. The top six students were honored with seats on the platform along with the other honored guests. Dr. Knape, a Board of Education Member, presented a letter of congratula- tions to Danny Farrar. Fred McGregor, class president, delivered a wel- coming address to parents, students, and honored guests. 53
