Class Day Exercises
Talte Place May 28
As part of St. Mary’s commence
ment program for 1966, Class Day
for both the sophomore and senior
classes will be held Saturday morn
ing, May 28. Sophomore Class Day
exercises will commence sharply at
10:30 A.M. and Senior Class Day
exercises at 4:00 P.M.
The exercises will begin with a
welcome by the presiding class presi
dent, a prayer by the class vice-
president, and the calling of the last
roll call by the class secretary in
which each student will stand and
be formally recognized for the last
time as part of the 1965-66 sopho
more or senior class.
The history of the class activities
will then be given and following
will be the reading of the class
prophecy—a humorous look at what
seems to be in store for several of
the girls.
After this, there will be a reading
of the Last Will and Testament in
which each girl leaves her most
cherished possession to one of the
up-coming classmen whom she feels
is best suited for such an honor.
The superlatives for each class will
be announced followed by the pres
entation of the academic awards by
Dr. Stone. Class Day exercises will
then come to an end with the sing
ing of “The School Hymn’’ and a
benediction by Mr. Folmsbee.
Class Day will leave many a cher
ished memory in the heart of each
St. Mary’s girl and perhaps a tear on
the cheeks of a few; while some will
return to St. Mary’s, others will leave
to seek greater ambitions.
But there will always remain a
place at St. Mary’s for all who in
1965-66 gave a part of themselves to
the school they love.
