, f' '69ers Bid Farewell To Pursue New Horizons On the fourth day of June the fifth full-laden Viking ship set sail from the shore of the home port at Shawnee Nlission West. The 1969 graduation class, 619 in number, filed past family and friends in somber gray caps and govvns to culminate twelve years of study in an encouraging handshake and leather-bound diploma. Baccalaureate exercises, held on June 1, served as a farewell party for graduates- to-be. A minister opened new avenues of thought to pensive members of the class of 1969. Seniors filled the hours of their final voyage at West with limitless activity, unprecedented curiosi- ty, and all-encompassing plans for further explora- tions of business and education. Memories of the Prom, their first Pep Club meeting, yearbooks, hall passes, unsactioned festivities, and senior superiority elecited tears of sorrow, relief, and retrospect. At the end and beginning, '69 shipmates bade fond farewells and embarked to seek new horizons in an ecstasy-and hope-filled world.
