president delays any action until the next spring. For senior year, Harvey arrives in a taxi. The group gathers and toast their final year. Both Harvey and Gil are still hitting the books hard, with some success. The year features hay rides, phone booth body jams, and a smooth procession towards graduation. Harvey is in denial about his love of Professor Gauthier, and she coyly asks him if he would like to marry her. He stammers, but the gauntlet is thrown. Harvey is the Class of 1960 valedictorian and his speech covers all the bases: why he challenged himself to find a greater purpose and put up with the struggle, and his growing admiration and acceptance of the accomplishments of his adult children and his friends. He concludes with a final challenge to the graduate: never quit, never say something like "I could no sooner do that, than I could fly." At this moment, Harvey is hoisted above the audience on cables to fly around the auditorium. A wink to Professor Gauthier, a smile to all, the end.
