HONORS DAY An American Legion Award was presented to Senior Class President Rita Martello. Jaffer Ali happily accepts his Illinois State Scholarship. Honors Day was a breezy ceremony the Monday before graduation where seniors ap- peared before the student body in caps and gowns. Below the caps and gowns were cut- offs and T-shirts-the order of the day. The Key of Knowledge is handed down from Curt Zubaty to Joann Schuman and Jodi Curlee.
