SENIORS BEGIN THE SHORT WALK to the raised platform where their diplomas await them. Banquet, graduation, class night highlight last year The last formal gathering exclusively for the seniors was the Senior Banquet. This was held on April 7, 1967 at Condes Restaurant. After a dinner of chicken and beef, the seniors danced until 11:00 P.M. to the music of the Shades of Green. Class night activities were held on June 5, 1967 in the Memorial Gymnasium. Amidst girls dressed in formals and boys with boutonnieres, the class history, class will, and class prophecy were read. As the class poem was read and class song sung, they realized that only two days remained until graduation. Graduation day, June 7, 1967, loomed bright and sunny. The commencement address was delivered by Benjamin C. Willis, noted educator, after which the diplomas were handed out by school board president, Joseph Hapak. One hundred and one seniors marched out to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance climaxing their four year high school career. SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT, Mr. Joseph Hapak. distributes diplomas to graduating seniors. 22
