This beautiful and romantic medieval garden was the work of the iunior class. AN EVENING OF VALIANT KNIGHTS Court Jester Terry Augsburger, renders an unique class prophesy. Leaving the beautiful warm May night behind we entered the court yard of a medieval castle. Knights' shields, emblems and swords decor- ated the entry way, Beyond lay the court yard, which looked like a gar- den with its flowers, shrubs, and birds, also from this point we could see the city and hills surrounding the castle. After a delicious meal, Sir Latham rendered appreciated musical num- bers on the piano, and organ, while Knight Beniamin carried out the pro- gram very well in his own Knightly humor . After a practical challenge set before us of Valiantly We Stand , we saw the color film of Ivanhoe, that exciting story written by Sir Walter Scott. Sir Lance Latham, pastor of the Northside Gospel Tabernacle, ren- dered remarkable musical numbers on the organ and piano.

As we hear Dr. Tenney, and see the illuminated cross before us, we are reminded of the life so freely given for us so long ago. Since second semester many of us had counted the days until graduation, yet we walked down the aisle to Pomp and Cir- cumstance with mingled emotions of ioy, sadness, longing, relief. We were excited in our regal caps and gowns, yet anxious that we would not be the one out of step, or that our hat was not on straight, or our tassel on the wrong side. Somehow as Dr. Tenney began his message, challenging each of us to be what the Lord would have us to be, great or small, we forgot all around us and while looking to the dim future, determined in our hearts to do our best and mean the words - Not what I wish to be, nor where I wish to go, for who am l that I might choose my way. Following Baccalaureate there was a reception in the church auditorium. Here we met parents of our friends from far away, and talked for maybe the last time to a friend. The punch and cookies were good, but even the boys seemed eager io say those last minute things to their friends. SO SEND l YOU TO LEAVE YOUR LlFE'S AMBITION Solemnly the seniors march into the Christian Reformed Church for Baccalaureate Service. Dr. Merrill C.
