With all his thankfulness inside, how thankful I shall be"

Thus mused the hungry pussy cat, upon Thanksgiving Day:

But the little mouse had overheard and declined (with thanks) to stay.

Make this a Baccalaureate and. Commencement you can be proud of.

Unsuitable clothing cannot be worn under your cap and gown. This applies to wearing shorts, sun tans, T-shirts, sport shirts or team jackets. Boys are to wear white shirts with ties. Girls are requested to wear dresses or skirts, without all the extra petticoats, as it spoils the effect of the gown. Corsages are not to be worn with gown. No gum chewing, please. There is to be no smoking during practice or before graduation exercises. If for any reason you cannot be here either night, you must notify Mr. Duckett immediately.

This is our big week. Let's follow instructions and make the graduation of '58 the best everI
