"The Products of Your Schools"

To the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" the 228 members of Class of 1955 marched in for their graduation from Washington High School on June 2. The Reverend Kermit Graves gave the invocation and benediction. The Commencement Address was given by Dr. Joseph Kise of Moorhead State Teachers' College. He numerated five characteristics of man as being physical, economic, intellectual, spiritual, and social-political. To develop the potentialities intended by God and nature, these five phases of life must be developed. He touched on atomic development as playing a part in the great future ahead for young people. He concluded by telling the graduates that if they will use their brains, they can attain an undreamed of standard of living, but if they do not, they will go down to destruction. The class was then presented by Mr. Blackford to the President of the Board of Education, Mr. Charles Herbison, who granted the diplomas.
