Commencement Lingers In Minds Of Graduates In 1941 the Tower witnessed the graduation of the first senior class of Thomas Carr Howe High School. Since that time the Tower has ob- served many senior activities, in- cluding bicycle rides to school, the exclusive use of the Tower steps during senior week, and the annual senior play. Twenty-seven senior classes have participated in Vespers Services and have been graduated on Violet Hill. Blue, gold, and du- bonnet were the class colors se- lected in 1941. Five senior classes have chosen the colors of brown, gold, and light blue. Navy blue, light blue, and olive were picked as the class colors of 1969. Seniors bid the Tower adieu as they pass through its doors fol- lowing graduation ceremonies. Some never return again. Mr. Tom Totten super ises as senior G3r Throckmorton models the traditional mor- tarboard with the assistance ot classmates Charles Pettee and Kath Washburn.
