Platform group meets as Carter settles back
Democrats move toward a Carter backed platform for the July convention in New York. A 15 member sub committee began drafting a document to be finished by Sunday night with the full committee to start Monday. The platform will outline the party stance for the November election and is expected to call for full employment while avoiding explicit endorsement of Humphrey Hawkins or national health insurance.

Graduation Marked by Cheerful Stormy Commencement
Mt Anthony Union High School Class of 1976 celebrated their ninth commencement amid threatening weather that failed to dampen triumph. Students praised the class during three speeches led by President Alan Daigneault and student orators. Principal Clarence Pelkie received an honorary diploma, while Foster Aaron, the main speaker, reflected on four years of teaching and the class’s spirit. Richard Hunt earned a standing ovation as the yearbook was dedicated to him. Diplomas were finally presented by director Marian Smith as graduates moved on with mixed solemn and hopeful expressions.
