Amherst High School outdoor commencement ends in auditorium
Poor weather forced Amherst High School to relocate its first open air commencement to the school auditorium. Dr. Kenneth I. Brown urged graduates to develop strong antennae to connect with others and to seek joy, sorrow, and ambition in people beyond themselves. Russell Petersen led the band, and diplomas were presented by Carl Deeds and Supt. Fred B. Powers.
