Each one was understanding hoppy and very, very proud. Talent from the seniors was presented to the au- dience when Betty Bachtell played a piano solo, Prelude in C Minor, by Rachmaninoff. The seniors burst forth into music again as they sang the class song, with lyrics and music by Betty Bachtell. Growing to a close now. the program continued as Reverend O. F. R. Trcder, D.D., Rector of St. Ann's Episcopal Church, gave the benediction. 1 he final act was completed as Betty Lou Itnyre payed the Recessional and the Seniors, happy be- yond description, and maybe a bit sad. too, filed out of the alma mater, Smithsburg High School.

COMMENCEMENT HELD JUNE 12, IN AUDITORIUM 1 he all important result of I 2 years of hard study, and, we hasten to add, years of good clean fun and companionship, was brought to an exciting climax June 12, at 8 P. M. in the High School Auditorium, when 29 crisp new deplomas were passed out to 29 worthy recipients. The graduation exercises were opened with the traditional Processional, in this case, The Trium- phal March, with Betty Lou Itnyre at the piano, immediately following was the invocation, by the Reverend J. 1. Thomas, pastor of Welty’s Church of the Brethren. 1 he program was then in the hands of the ca- pable, if somewhat nervous, seniors. Lloyd Bow- man as Master of Ceremonies, briefly sketched the aims of the present generation and introduced the speeches “The Rim of the Junglie and “The United Nations. Robert Tracey led forth with the oration The Rim of the Jungle, pointing out the contrast be- tween uncivilized Borneo and our own civilization. Robert clearly put forth the idea that civilization, like Borneo, can be reclaimed by the jungle. The United Nations, offered by Maurita Pal- mer dealt with the problems and goals of that wor- thy organization; our own United Nations. The Department procedures and work accomplished was explained by Maurita. Showing the favorable results of Mrs. Seibert’s untiring efforts to produce a fine mixed chorus, the seniors sang Land of Hope and Glory, by Elgar. After the introduction of the next speech, Betty Bachtell told a listening audience about, The Won- ders of Tomorrow, comparing the inventions of the past century with our high scientific advance- ments of today. With the finish of “The Wonders of Tomorrow, the class sang in chorus Send Out Thy Light. by Gounod. f ollowing the introduction by the Master of Cere- monies, Joyce Smith led forth with One World Unlimited, stressing cooperation between all na- tions as a security to future peace. Again the class filled the auditorium with song as they sang One World, by O'Hara Bralton. The next part of the program was turned over to Miss Catherine Beachley, who presented medals to the most deserving members of the class. Tire re- cipients were justly proud of the presentments and were rewarded for their efforts to do the best. Finally the most important part of the program commenced. Superintendent of Washington Coun- ty Schools, Mrs. Benjamin C. Willis, assisted by Mr. C. 1. Wolfinger, member of the Washington County Board of Education, gave to each senior the diploma which he had earned through his own perserver- ance. It was a cherished moment, not one to be (Continued on Page 16) WERE WE IN IT? LOOK AND SEE!
