Registrar Hoffman stated that every student who is scheduled to graduate after June 8 must still complete necessary requirements. However, if the high school prin cipal refuses to graduate the stu dent simply because of failure to attend the last couple weeks of classes, the student may still be enrolled as a member of the Class of 1946.
