At the stroke of midnight, SHS prom-goers hurried home to change for the after prom at Wedgewood Lanes. Dancing, bowl- ing, pool, and eating occupied the students- until the early morning. The night air was cool as 297 seniors prepared to line up for the processional into the gymnasi- um crowded with proud parents, friends, and relatives.

Speaking on Man's Hope or Man's Destruction, Lorie cited post and present uses of man's in- telligence to destroy. Lorie pointed out that man is continuing to misuse technology and must work toward correcting the problem or be destroyed by it. She concluded by addressing the senior class: Tonight we are on the verge of facing the world-a world filled with tremendous achievements as well as tremendous problems. Therefore we the class of i969 ..--an must couple our intelligence with reason, insight, and understand- ing in order to create a more peaceful, orderly, and just soc- iety. Following the speakers, Principal H. Joseph Morro pre- sented the class, and Mark Equizi read the role as Bryce Kendall, school board president, awarded the diplomas. Tassels were changed, and commencement ended amid congratulations and handshakes for the future. 1 Q ,sive B-
