Class Cf I968 lnvocation l968 Our Father, we pause in reverence tonight and ask Your guidanc e as we recount the well -favored years behind us and anticipate the doorway to history. History is a voice forever sounding across the centuries the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall but Thy moral law is written on the tablets of eternity! We ask Your blessing tonight upon the Class of 1968 as we gather together for a last for- mal presentation. . .for the ways of men must sever. . . and it well may be for a day and a night, and it well may be forever. Doorway into History Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen years ago, a child was born. Almost two decades have passed since then - exciting, history-making decades.

They first taught us the meanings of love, integ- rity, and so many other elements that form the final being of our characters. We don't often take the time to tell our parents how much we love them, and how much we ap- pre c iat e the things they have done for us. Tonight, however, each of us wishes to say Thank you to our parents. Thank you for leading us this far through the hallways of education. Twelve long years of formal schooling lie behind us, but tonight those years seem to have passed in a minute. We can't quite re- member when arithmetic turned into mathe- matics and reading became literature , every- thing has woven together so smoothly. But year by year, our knowledge has expanded to
