The 1972 graduating class of
A &M Consolidated High School,
led by valedictorian Marc
Schatte and salutatorian Gary
Williams left the auditorium of
the new Consolidated High
School building with diplomas in
hand making way for next year's
incoming class of freshmen.
Schatte, son of Mr. and Mrs.
C.E. Schatte of 1300 Laura Lane,
College Station, and Williams,
son of Mr. and Mrs. J.H.
Williams of 1011 Eleanor St.,
College Station, were named
valedictorian and salutatiorian,
respectively, of the graduating
class during commencement
exercises Tuesday night.
WEARING THE GOLD stoles
of honor, the two headed a list of
outstanding outgoing Con-
solidated scholars which in-
cluded Richard Henry - Ballinger
III, Shelley Jean Cashion, Kathy
Jenice Goode, Catherine Janise
McNeal and Howard E. Tewell
III.
The Consolidated com-
mencement exercises began
with the traditional entry music,
"Pomp and Circumstance,"
played by Sally Hoover followed
by the invocation, delivered by
Dr. Malcolm Bane, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of College
Station.
After the Consolidated concert
choir sang an arrangement of
"You'll Never Walk Alone," Dr.
A.A. Price, dean of the Texas
A &M University College of
veterinary Medicine, delivered
the commencement address.
"The thing I remember most
about the several com-

mencement exercises in which I
played a part is that I can't
remember one word the
speakers ever said. Because of
this, I will begin with the sum-
mary and after that, I will
deliver the rest of my remarks."
"THEN," HE CONTINUED,
"you have my permission to sit
back, close your eyes and sleep
if you want to and I will promise
to wake you up when it is time
for the diplomas to be presen-
ted."
Beginning as promised with
the summary of his remarks,
Price admonished the soon -to-
be- graduated seniors to continue
their growth — academically,
spiritually and physically.
He challenged the students to
right the wrongs in society today
and added that they should
strive to affect change within the
framework of "the establish-
ment."
"If the establishment is
destroyed," he stated, "then
there is nothing left to
rehabilitate."
FOLLOWING PRICE'S
speech, high school principal
Fred A. Hopson presented
scholarships and honors to
graduating seniors and Dr. O.C.
Cooper, Consolidated school
board chairman, presented
diplomas to the 145 graduates.
