torian & valedictorian showed
exceptional brilliance as they
spoke without manuscript and
calmer than many grownups
as they stood before the micro
phone.
Harold j. Benedict, who was
formerly principal Of the
Christiansted High School, de-
livered the Commencement
address. The boys Of the grad
uating class sang two spirit
uals after which awards were
presented followed by the
