Activities Start Friday with Dance; Sermon Sunday with Graduation Tuesday.
Bainbridge News & Republican, June 16, 1938
Commencement activities for the graduating class of 1938 at Bainbridge High School will start Friday evening with the Senior Ball. Miss Connie Russell, girl director of a ten piece male orchestra from Binghamton, invites local couples to "swing, sing and sway" from 9 until 1.
The Rev. M.D. Lowen, pastor of the local Baptist Church, will be the guest speaker at the baccalaureate service Sunday evening at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. He will address the graduates on "Adventurers Wanted." Other local ministers will cooperate in the service, the Rev. F.J Zimmer giving the invocation, the Rev. S.E. Heath reading the Scripture lesson, the Rev. G.H. Orvis offering the evening prayer and the Rev. G.N. Underwood pronouncing the benediction.
Class night exercises will be held Monday evening in the auditorium, when the members of the Class of '38 will bequeath to the Juniors the task of upholding the dignity of the school. The program, which is under the direction of Miss Mildred Petley, has been announced as taking place in a gypsy camp.
The climax of the activities is Commencement on Tuesday evening. Honor students will deliver their Senior essays and diplomas will be awarded to over 30 candidates. The evening's speakers and topics are as follows:
Bruce Holman, valedictorian--"Surgery, Yesterday and Today"
Graydon Cass, salutatorian--"Progress of Science"
Jenane Hamlin--"Dietetics"
Gertrude Hawkins--"Why Venice?"
Frank Lewis--"Surveying"
Myron Carl--"War or Peace"
