Memoirs issued tomorrow
Memoirs will be delivered
May 22. “The books will be dis
tributed during reg,” explained
Willard Mohn, Memoirs advisor.
“The yearbooks can be picked
up after 8:00, and taken to the
regs. The students are asked to
sign the ‘received list’ so ac
curate records may be kept. At
9:00, teachers are asked to re
turn the list and all unclaimed
books to Room 207. Students
who didn’t get books in reg may
pick them up after 3:00 only in
Room 207, or the next week
after 3:00 only in Room 207.
“A few extra books may
be available, but won’t go
on sale until after the ma
jority of the books have
been accounted for,” Mr.
Mohn continued.
Because of Spring delivery,
Spring activities excluded were:
baseball, track, tennis, Junior
and Senior Proms, Carnival,
Commencement and Spring
Show.
Next year, yearbooks will
cost $5.00 with a student
body card, and $5.50 with
out. “This is considerably
cheaper than in other parts
of the city,” Mr. Mohn said.
Brucea Luzader Studios will

The Town Hall is well deco

Many people have given a lot

Baccalaureate ‘reborn’—-
Campus Life to sponsor
services open to everyone
Just recently a group of inter
ested students took it upon
themselves to decide on having
a Baccalaureate, out of school,
because they felt that it was
really needed.
Central Lutheran Church will
be the place where Baccalaur
eate is going to be held on June
3 at 7:30, although in-school
services were voted down by
many of the seniors because they
felt that they weren’t needed.
One of the reasons that these
students wanted Baccalaureate
was that they felt that it was a
traditional and needed part of
Graduation, even though not
everyone will attend.
At the service there will be
only one guest speaker in the
program, instead of many, as in
the past. Roland Boyce, advisor
for Campus Life, is the speaker.
