Class Day Set
For May 27
As part of the commencement
program for the graduating soph
omores and seniors. Class Day will
be held tomorrow at 10:30 for the
sophomores and at 4:00 for the
seniors.
The program for both ceremon
ies will be the same; the Sopho
more Class President, Margaret
Highsmith and the Senior Class
President, Lucile McKee will -wel
come the guests. The Vice Presi
dents, Kinsey Sabiston, senior,
and Betsy Bittle, sophomore, will
lead the guests in a prayer after
which class secretaries will call
the class roll for the last time.
Each student will stand to be rec
ognized as part of her respective
class.
The class history will be read,
followed by the class prophecy —
which is always a humorous look
at what seems to be in store for
several of the girls.
After this the Last AVill and
Testament will be read in which
each girl leaves her most cherished
possession to one of the iip-com-
ing classmen whom she feels is
best suited for such an honor.
After the announcement of the
superlatives for each class. Dr.
Stone will make the presentation
of the academic awards. Class Day
exercises will come to an end with
the singing of the “School Hymn”
and a benediction by Mr. Baird.
Class Day will leave many a
cherished 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
filace at St. Mary’s for all who
in 1966-1967 gave a part of them
selves to the school thev love.
r
