The graduation exercise will be
conducted with honor, pride and
respect for all participants. The
graduation exercise is not a mandatory
function, seniors do not have to
participate. Those seniors that
do elect to participate in the ceremony
will be expected to conduct themselves
in such a manner that will make
their parents proud. In order to
receive your graduation tickets
and be able to participate in the
graduation ceremony on June 11th
you must agree to and sign the Senior
Agreement/Behavioral Conduct. Any
senior who causes any discipline
problems during the remainder of
the school year may not be allowed
to participate in any or all graduation
activities. Parents are also asked
to make the same commitment. (See
attached Senior Agreement)
FINES,
CHARGES, DEBTS:
By action of
the Board of Trustees, a senior
who owes money to the school will
not be allowed to participate in
Commencement. Charge lists are posted
in the Student Store and the Library
on May 9. Any charges must be cleared
by June 11th. IT IS THE SENIOR'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THESE LISTS
TO SEE IF THERE IS A CHARGE.
CAP
AND GOWN: NO
cap and gown will be issued if the
student has any charges owing in
the Student Store or the Library.
We have scheduled May 21st
to students with the last names
A-L and May 22nd to the
students with the last names M-Z
to issue caps and gowns during both
lunches. These dates may be changed
if delivery is later than we anticipate.
Students may pay for their cap and
gown thorough the Jostens representative
at the Senior Parent meeting on
February 1st and 2nd in the quad
during both lunches, the cost is
TBA including tax. We strongly encourage
early planning for graduation accessories
and costs. Students who have not
yet ordered a cap and gown will
be issued one, after payment is
received. This late order will be
from the extras the company will
send on a first-come, first serve
basis. Please check the contents
of the plastic bag. It should contain
a cap, gown, tassel, and keepsake
medallion. Report any problems to
the Jostens Representative concerning
your package. Read order form carefully.

SENIOR
FAREWELL BRUNCH:
The Senior Class
and their parents sponsor the Farewell
Program. The following Code of Conduct
will be in effect for the Farewell
Program:
1. Appropriate Dress:
Beach wear or similar attire is
not acceptable. Although this is
not a formal occasion, we believe
the atmosphere of the program will
be enhanced by good taste in dress.
2. Appropriate Behavior:
Any disruptive action will be cause
for denying the offending student
the right to participate in the
commencement program.
BACCALAUREATE:
The Baccalaureate program will begin
at 11:00am on June
8th in the ALHS Auditorium.
SENIORS MUST REPORT N CAP AND GOWN
to the front of the auditorium no
later than 10:30 am to form the
processional. We are working
hard to ensure a ceremony which
is non-denominational, inspirational,
and uplifting. Attendance is optional.
We do not insure tickets and seating
is on a first -come, first -serve
basis.
COMMENCEMENT
TICKETS:
Each graduating senior will receive
6 tickets. Student I.D. Card, signed
Senior Agreement and completed Senior
Check-Out form will be needed. These
tickets will be passed out on June
5 & 6 at lunch in the auditorium.
**NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED TO COMMENCEMENT
WITHOUT A TICKET**
-
COMMENCEMENT
SEATING ASSIGNMENTS: The
audience will sit on both sides
of the stadium so the seniors
will be divided into two sections.
Tickets are issued for either
the North or the South side, depending
upon the seating of the graduate.
The enclosed map will help you
understand the field layout, parking
and the place of entrance. Only
graduates will be allowed on the
field . After the ceremony parents
or family members will not be
allowed on the field. It is suggested
that family and friends meet with
their graduates outside the stadium
after the ceremony.
NORTH & SOUTH ENTRANCE:
The assignments
have been made alphabetically.
Scholarship honorees are usually
seated together. As students lose
eligibility for graduation, changes
may have to be made to fill seats,
but these changes will always
be on the same side of the field
where your student is seated.
NORTH SECTION SOUTH SECTION
When the seniors
pick up their graduation tickets
the envelope which they are in
will state which side they will
sit on "N" (North Side)
"S" (South Side). They
will get their exact seating assignments
at graduation practice.

GRADUATION
CAP: At
graduation, the cap should be worn
straight and level and not on the
back of the head. Girls are advised
to bring hairpins since there nearly
always is wind at the college. The
tassel is worn on the LEFT SIDE
of the cap until the commencement
ceremony has been concluded and
the signal is given to move it to
the right side.
COMMENCEMENT
REHEARSAL:
The Commencement ceremony is important
to the seniors and to their parents
and represents the last time the
class will be together as a group.
We try to present a uniform and
attractive appearance to the community.
The effectiveness of the program
depends to a large degree, on the
rehearsal and on each senior knowing
his/her seat and role. Therefore,
attendance at rehearsal is mandatory,
and any senior who does not come
will be denied the opportunity to
participate Wednesday evening. Each
senior must be in parking lot #8
adjacent to the tennis courts at
Chaffey College on June 11th @ 11:00AM,
and must remain through the entire
rehearsal. Staff and Senior Class
Officers will be there to assist.
Once seating assignments are made,
we expect the seniors to honor them.
PICTURES:
PARENTS
WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE FIELD
DURING THE CEREMONY TO TAKE PICTURES.
However, we have contracted with
University Photo to take a picture
of each senior as he/she receives
the diploma. Within 14 days you
will receive a color proof and an
offer to purchase a 5X7 picture
(larger quantities are available).
The offer will be made only once
and no one will call you or solicit
your business other than the one
letter.
DIPLOMAS:
Seniors
receive only the diploma cover in
the commencement ceremony. Diplomas
will be issued after the ceremony
on the east side of the field by
counselors and throughout the following
week at Alta Loma High School by
the registrar in the records office.
GRADUATION
NIGHT PARTY @ Disneyland:
The event is available
to Alta Loma Students only. Tickets

function of the party. IMPORTANT:
only those properly dressed will
be admitted. No one can drive their
own car to grad night. Buses will
leave Alta Loma High School. Cars
should not be left at Chaffey College
