TwtiT# Richmond Community News By Phyllis Carlson • Graduation Day This year-the graduating class Of Richmond-Burton Community Ittgh school numbers thirty-five, #hich is nine or ten more than were in last year's class. The Class first appeared in cap and gown Friday night at the bacca- . laureate service. They looked hopeful and bright as they marched to the strains of the chorus singing "Land of Hope 'felid Glory." f , Father Daleiden of St. Jeter's 'Church in Spring Grove gave the invocation and benediction and Pjastor Carlson delivered the baccalaureate address, admonishing the seniors "to seek _ the truth for the truth shall make you free." The graduates are Beverly Adsit, Beverly Bergsma, Bohnitta Condon, Sandra Eldredge, Donalc| Fout, Charlotte Freund, Terry Gunderson, James Harris, Harold Huff, Carolyn Jacobson, Norval Jarrett, Linda Josephson, Linda Kautz, Sonia Komar, Donna May, Joan May, Lester Mecklenberg, Jerry Meisel, Charles "Meyer, Loren Miller, Patricia Miller, Robert Miller, Althea Nitzche, Viola Olesen, William Parker, Caroline Schmidt, Leon Schmitt, Virgene Schultz, Roger Shaw, Clarene Steadman, Carol Steinke, William Stilling, Janet Vierke, Richard Wagner and Sharon West. The graduation exercises were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. The auditorium was packed with friends and relatives of the graduates. Rev. Noyce gave the invocation and benediction. The address was given by Rev. John Hubbard from Park Ridge. Robert Gardner, president of the school board, presented the diplomas. Both the band and chorus rendered music for the occasion. Both organizations will miss the seniors, for without them the band and chorus looked rather depleted. The stage was a lovely setting for the seniors with its urns of flowers. The tulips and lilacs are so pretty and colorful. The Legion awards went to Beverly Bergsma and Terry Gunderson. The D.A.R. award was given to Beverly Bergsma. Congratulations to you. As the seniors walked down the aisle and became the alumni of 1956, we know that all the Spectators were wishing with us that they will have full, rich joyed having them in our community. We read of the summer plans for the faculty and thought you might be interested. Mr. Gun-? derson will be occupied at the high school. Brabqra Schmitt, school secretary, plans to loaf. Hope she succeeds. Mr. Sheldon will attend the University of Wisconsin once again to work for his master's, degree in business education. First he will ifiingle with many Swedes and Norwegians at a convention in Northfield, Minn. Mr. Morgenson will go to school to work on his master's degree, too. He hasn't decided on where to go yet. Mr. Kittell has no definite plans but we don't think he will loaf with his 14-month-old son and soon there will be another, little Kittell to care for. Mr. Haraldson will take two delegates to the F.F.A. convention in Springfield in June. He will attend the state agriculture teachers' convention in Champaign. For one month he will attend summer school, but hasn't decided where. He will also supervise the Ag boys on their summer projects. Miss O'Regan will attend summer school either at Northwestern university or Colorado. Mrs. Hem will go to Chicago university summer school. Mr. Patton is undecided about the summer. Mr. Stone says he will relax. That we would like to see. It will be 'the first time in ten years that he will have a real vacation. He has been going to school for a long time. He will teach band two nights a week and private lessons one day a week. Miss Howden would like to take a trip, but has no definite plans as to where to go. Let's stop and think how many of our „ teachers invest their summers in further education! They not only give up the opportunity to make extra money for their families, but pay money for tuition so that they may be better teachers. Let's remember this and consider ourselves lucky to have such a high percentage of our faculty going to school. We found that Beverly Bergsma received the first place youth leadership award in addition to the Legion and D.A.R. hospital in Waukegan. Mrs. Weber, formerly Joyce Katzenberg of Richmond, will be a busy lady with her family. She and her husband have a boy, Steve, and a girl, Shelly, at home. Mr. and Mrs. Fay Katzenberg of Richmond are the maternal grandparents of the twins. Congratulations to Joyce and Ray.

This unusual situation occurred because her father, Randall Josserand, is a teacher at Harrison school. Special concessions were tnade by the school boaird to, allow her to attend" where her father is on the staff. The only complication is that she hasn't 1 become acquainted with the children who would normally be her school chums.

The boys in their graduation suits' looked quite different from their usual manner of dress -- blue jeans and T-shirt. Carol London, class president, gave a very interesting talk. She made us all thankful for our system of education. She seemed so at ease at the rostrum that we hope she will have a bright future. Patsy Watts gave the class prophecy and of course everyone enjoyed that. She looked far enough into the future to see Solon Mills grow to 100,000 population.

Little Sandy Senter experiencj|d an unusually severe attack. How- More School News We noticed a few things at the school, heard a few things and read a few things in the "Rocket Review" that we thought might be interesting to you. The lovely new flag which you saw at graduation was made by the home economic girls under the direction of Mrs. Hem. Tine French club donated . money for the material, but the girls did the sewing. It's really a lovely job. The flag has red letters on white material and is edged in gold. Each of the letters was sewn on by hand, and when you think of the number4 of letters in the name of our high school you can appreciate what a jtask that was. The flag makes a lovely addition to the stage. One of the things we heard was that Darwin Ehorn is one of the bus drivers now. He took Dick Stermer's place since Dick yvent to work in Woodstock. We learned with regret that two of the high school faculty Will not be returning [ next fall. Jiffs. Edna Hem and Normand Patton have resigned.
