State Senator Virgil H. Goode, Jr. wrestled with the question of whether there is any value to commencement addresses. He concluded for the 92 members of Rockbridge High School's graduating class that there is. The address and the rest of the ceremony, the commencement speaker told the graduates, gives the students an opportunity to be together one last time; a time when parents can look with pride on the achievements of their sons and daughters, and marks one of the turning points in life which should be “‘highlighted by recognition”. “Some may say that everything that can be said has been said,”’ Goode went on. ‘‘Is it true there Gimme’ a bobbie pin!’ are no more than canned phrases and tired words?” The senator from Franklin County insisted that was not the case. He challenged the graduates to “try to realize the American dream’’ and to care about others. ‘The greatest success of all,”” he told them, ‘‘is to give of yourself to other people.”’ Following invocation by the Reverend Gurney P. Whiteley of Bethesda Presbyterian Church, valedictorian: Veronica McCabe welcomed those in attendance. Salutatorian Kenmar Campbell then introduced Goode. Diplomas were awarded by Frank Polakiewicz principal and William Weimer, assistant principal. Graduation 79
