BY DOUG RUTTER
For 122 North Brunswick gradu
ates. the joy of finishing high school
may have been of secondary impor
tance Saturday morning to the relief
of finishing commencement exercis
es.
With dark clouds looming over
Iceland, graduation was moved from
its designated site at the football
field to the school gymnasium. It
never did rain, but it felt like a tropi
cal rain forest in the muggy gym.
Graduates, relatives and friends
tried to keep cool by using gradua
tion programs as hand fans, it
seemed only appropriate when a
oeacti ball started bouncing around
the gym.
Parents and other well-wishers
rushed outdoors as soon as the cere
mony ended and the Class of '^4
had marched out. Everyone was
happy to breathe fresh air follow ing
the uncomfortable 3<)-minute pro
gram.

ceived diplomas from Principal
