For Our Ejforts The message was delivered by Dr. James Costar. He talked to the seniors on find¬ ing happiness in life. Mrs. Netslaff waits as her stu¬ dents receive diplomas. It is a little sad to leave high school, for memories of friends and good times linger. Graduation, however, is made up more of excitement than of saddness. We are now on the verge of our lives, and we look to the future with hope. This feeling is described in this passage of the poem COMMENCEMENT by Norman Vincent Peale, which was used in the Valedictory ad¬ dress; How appropriate to call graduation a commence¬ ment. For it is not an ending, but a beginning. There were eighteen seniors who achieved an average of over 8.0. This is quite an accomplishment for a class of only 87, and these seniors must have been very proud to have been called to the front of the gym. They are from left to right; S. Kowalczyk , P. Cardinal , C. Fisk , C. Mezey , Sue Pula , C. Fisk , W. Pataky , R. Perlberg , R. k utch , J. Allen , D. Southworth , J. Gale , D. Brueckner , B. Donnelly , R. Groszek , R. Schwab , W. Stanley , and S. Bishop . High Scholastic Achievement (8.0); Very High Achievement (9.0); Highest Achievement, Honor Students (9.5). 81

At Last We Are Rewarded The solemness of the occasion is reflected in the face of Norman Kocot as he marches Gold honor cords and tossels were presented to the honor in. students, Ron Mutch, Richard Perlberg, Wendy Pataky, and Cheryl Fisk, by the Kiwanis Club. The Valedictorian, Ron Mutch, gave an excellent speech. His main point was that because we are graduating and just be¬ ginning our lives, we are the ones who have the opportunity to make ' The Goal of Yesterday The Starting Point of Tomor¬ row ' . Richard Perlberg ' s Salu¬ tatory address was equally as good. As he said, We may be small in quantity, but we are large in quality. IjUA t 80
