Tuesday night, after a painstaking rehearsal, or series of rehearsals, Bunker Hill school district graduated 34 eighth-graders in ceremony at Bunker Hill High Gym.

Tonight at 8 o'clock the same school district, also on the heels of an elaborate rehearsal, will graduate 26 high schoolers. Awkward Age The nigh schoolers, primed for the process this evening, have taken the whole thing with what might be described as aplomb, but the eighth-graders, striving still for recognition as fall teenagers and floundering in the midst of what has been known for centuries as the "awkward age" were a bit more halting. Laboring against these odds, Randell Bartels delivered himself of a brief "welcome" speech to parents and other relatives at the grade commencement. Special mu- uic was presented by Ann Behrens, Margaret Stevenson and Judy Hammond. Carl V.

Summers, superintendent of schools, "welcomed" the graduates to the high school and later presented diplomas.
