Graduation
Hatfield To
Graduation ceremonies this
year will be different from those
in the past. The difference comes
in the elimination of traditional
valedictorian and salutatorian
speeches.
The reason for doing aw ay with
these speeches, according to
senior class president Kay
Rartley, is that "too often the
many speeches given at gradua
tion have led to a tedious cere
mony, making graduation some
thing to be dreaded rather than
looked forward to."
Official ceremonies marking
the graduation of the class of '72
will begin Sunday, June 4. at 8:00
p.m. with a baccalaureate
sermon given by Reverend Wil
liam Ellis.
Hatfield To Speak
Commencement exercises are
scheduled for Thursday, June 8,
at 8:00 p.m. on Walter Phillips
field. Senator Mark Hatfield will
be the guest speaker.

sity. Zboralski is one of twenty
United States students who wiil

summer in New Mexico doing
special research.

Pam Krumdieck's
Victor applied to three colleges
who are sponsoring this type of
program. He was selected on his
past record and future promise in
the field of science.
The class, which will help
students collect data and do
professional research, begins
June II and runs for two months.
Zboralski believes that this may
help him in his ultimate future
goal: marine biology or as a
"starving artist in Paris."
Federal grants will pay for half
of the expenses while Victor stays
in New Mexico. They will also
pay for his travel expenses going
down and coming back.
