Tell about your graduation exercises or traditions.

When I graduated I was the Salutatorian of my class which meant I had t write a talk for graduation. I really don't remember much about my graduation except that it was held in the gym of the High School. However I do remember the night. The local movie theater stayed open for a show from about 11 PM to 1 AM. W, Pauline, Marie, and I went to the movie and then went home. I wanted to stay up all night just because I never had before so we played games for awhile until they became to tired and fell asleep. I then went outside and tore down the sheds behind the barn to stay awake. Little did I know the plans that would be put into motion the next day. Dad came home from getting the mail and asked if I wanted a summer job. I ended up working from 10 PM till 6 AM every night for the remainder of the summer at the Texaco station at the west end of town.
