Farewells, Prophecy
Highlight Senior Fete
Dinner and song will be the main features tonight on the quad, as the graduating seniors hold their semi-annual Senior Banquet, said Sandra Taylor, chairman of the event. '"One of the main features of the evening will be the judging of the best decorated table. This year, the senior problems classes will have the job of decorating their own tables. These will be judged during the evening by an impartial individual and an award will be made to the entire winning class," she added.
Seniors Sing Songs
After the meal portion of the program is over, there will be community singing, short speeches from some of the guests, who include all of the senior problems teachers, counselors, administrators and other invited personalities. Highlighting the evening will be the reading of the Senior Prophecy by Mary Hammer and Shirley Kaye.
Last Class Meeting
The Senior Aye Banquet is probably the last event in which the graduating class will have the opportunity to sit and talk together informally. "Every senior Aye should try to be present at this event," said Jerry Slocum, Senior Aye President. Those responsible for the banquet are Sandra Taylor, Charge d'affairs, Don Whitney, chief of table placement, and their respective helpers, Bob Weiss and Jerry Slocum.

President and vice-president of the choir Les Hoffner and Don Forster are the featured baritone soloists in "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," in which everyone will sing the last verse with the choir.
Setting Traditional
Setting a new tradition, after the presentation of colors by the R.O. T .C., the choir will join the orchestra for the "Star Spangled Banner." Carl Hurty, student body president, will lead the assemblage in the pledge of allegiance, and the seniors in the school hymn at the conclusion of the program. Directed by Mr. Dominick Di Sarro, the orchestra will play "Coronation March" as the recessional.
