Each pair o f m archers w alk ed very solem nly , very s low ly and very ca re ­fu lly so as not to get ou t o f step. T h e girls w ore sum m ery w h ite and y e llo w dresses fo r the m ost part, corsages, and their firs t pairs o f heels. The boys w ore coats and ties, and som e o f them had neatly halted th eir hair be fore it con fou n ded their vision .

W ith their eyes surveying the floor In fron t o f them , the m archers pass­ed d ow n the cen ter aisle that sepa­rated the audience and took their seats on the stage.

In vocation A fte r the p ledge o f the flag, the

R ev. Paul C unkle gave the in v oca ­tion . H e thanked the L ord that the students had com pleted their course o f study, and gave thanks that such an even t as a graduation cou ld b e h e ld in this cou n try “ w ith a feelin g o f security and sa fety .” H e prayed that the students w ou ld realize one day that “ their duty m ight b e som e­th in g th ey lov e ,” and that because o f this rew ard th ey w ou ld ben efit them selves and through their w ork b en e fit others.

H e said, “ It is the beginn ing fo r these y ou n g p eople, and w e pray that th ey m ay n ever fo rg e t the Springs and a ll the h appy m om ents th ey h a ve had here."

T h e salutatorian, Barbara Fanning, a bru n ette w h o w ore a w h ite dress and a p in k corsage, said she h oped th e class w ou ld liv e up to the e x ­p ectations o f its elders: “ I am sure w e w ill b e a b le to m eet any ch a l­lenge, e ith er educationally, m ora lly Or relig iou sly .”

S om e o f the class w ou ld g o into th e law , gov ern m en t and teaching, M iss F anning said, others into b u s i­ness, bu t a ll o f them she said w ou ld carry w ith them a sense o f ach iev e­m en t and w ou ld do their best.

M ore M usic T h e band then w as replenished

w ith 16 m em bers o f the graduating class to brin g its n u m ber to 35 or so. T h e d irector, C liffo rd Reutershan, led the com p lem en t in an upbeat m arch and a p iece ca lled “ W estern L egen d ” in w h ich a so lo on the F rench horn w as p layed b y an eighth grader, D ebra Scott.

A fte r the tw o songs, the 16 eighth graders returned to the stage for Thom as T a lm a ge ’s v a led ictory ad ­dress. T h e earnest, cre w -cu t boy grasped both sides o f the lectern and said he and his fe llo w students w ere w e ll aw are o f the serious p ro b ­lem s the cou n try faced w h at w ith th e assassinations o f D octor M artin L u th er K in g Jr. and Senator R obert F .

T h e se lf-d iscip lin e the students had learned in sch ool, Thom as said, w ou ld h e lp them to accom plish these “ im ­portant tasks,” and w ou ld spu r them to exten d their talents to the lim its o f their possibilities.

G row th o f S ch ool T h om as noted that since his class

had begun eight years ago, a new g y m had been bu ilt, n ew classroom s added and instruction in instrum ental m usic and F rench had been begun. “ Thank y ou fo r m aking a ll o f this p ossib le ,” h e said.

T o the eighth graders he said, “As y ou are beginning 3rour studies, take part. D o som ething constructive. R e ­m em ber that the fam ily is still the basis o f our society, and conquest w ill com e on ly w hen each one o f us translates these facts into action.”

Mr. M iller then presented the d i­plom as to the 33 m em bers o f the graduating class. A fter that, R ev. C unkle prayed G od that everyone w ou ld rem em ber “ as w e g o our separate ways, taking up the duties o f life, that Thou are alw ays with us. T hy grace and strength and p ow er from on high, A m en."

RecessionalA s the graduates filed o f f the stage

and began to m arch fo r the door, one m em ber o f the audience said to his w ife , “ G etting m arried was noth­ing com pared to th is !”

D uring the recessional, again “ P om p A nd C ircum stance,” the solem n faces o f an h ou r before had changed fo r the m ost part into hesitant sm iles w ith eyes lifted up interm ittently in recognition , and not so m uch attention w as paid to b e ­ing in step.

B arbara Fanning’s eyes glistened as she w a lk ed up the aisle w ith

Thom as Talm age, w h o stared straight ahead. B efore the last bars o f “Pom p A nd Circum stance,” the audience w as m aking fo r the d oorw ay and the law n outside to congratulate the graduates.

The S chool is a pretty one, white, lined w ith brick at the corners, set back on a green lot behind a row o f maples. Mr. L yck e said the S chool’s enrollm ent w as about 80 students w hen he began w orking there in 1957. The bu ilding then had four classroom s and a stage, he said.

N ow there w ere 300 students en ­rolled. T he gym and the rest o f its w ing had been built in 1960, and in the w inter o f 1967 another w ing had been com pleted . In the back, there w ere tree-lined athletic fields and a basketball court.

T he principal was obviously proud o f the S chool and o f the teachers and the students. H e held the plaque upon w hich the first fou r w inners o f the achievem ent award w ere in ­scribed, and said he fe lt that it was an aw ard a long tim e in com ing.
