Twenty-six of those graduat ing were from Warm Springs. Those happy graduates were Gladys "Mona" Jim, Larry Squiemphen, Tim Greene, LaDonna Picard, Whitney Miller, Desi Hurtado, Gerald Danzuka, Winona Spino, Sally Rhoan, Althea Scott, Mike Leno, Matt Conner, Simon Kalama, Alex Smith, Corinna Sohappy, Caroline Strong, Owen Danzuka, Brian Conner, An thony Shadley, Maria Patt, Jamie Smith, Jackie Estimo, Leontyne Tanewasha, Mina Shike, Arlene Wewa, and Roger Stwyer. Calvin Chinn opened the cer emony with the invocation and a message concerning happiness. "Your search for happiness is not to relive the past or put all your hopes in the future, but to live fully in the present." The address, which was de livered by Robert Anderson Se nior Account Executive of Belrod, Hammerback, Inc., was regarding self-confidence. He said that he had read in the Lon don Times that physical illness, emotional problems, personal indebtedness, lack of knowl edge, and lack of plan for life were listed as the five reasons for loss of self-confidence. He elaborated on each cause and also added, "each of you is the rider of the horse of life, you must make the horse take you where you want to go in life. Set your goals, believe in yourself, and suck to your convictions." The seniors accepted their diplomas in different ways. One boy jogged to have his diploma handed to him and another yelled triumphantly, not once, but twice, after receiving his "re ward." The benediction was pre sented to the capacity crowd by Sally Rhoan, as she performed the "Lord's Prayer" in Indian sign language. The commencement was ended with a recording of Fleetwood Mac's song, "Don't Stop."
