This recoijnition i one of tlu- most highh ' coveted awards on campus.

The girls were se- lected on the merits of high scholarship, leadership, fine character, and their con- tributions to Madison College. Recognition of this honor receives respect for these students all through their lives in all walks of life. It is a goal Vt ' ell worth striving for, and these students riiihtlv deserve the honor.

Cfraauallon JJaijs An air of (.■xcitcnit-nt settled ii er tlie campus the first week in June as Seniors realized that these were their last days at Madison. It seemed as if examinations wouUl never be over . . . and then they were. At last all breathed a sigh of relief and took their places in the line for processional practice on Friday. Saturday was a busy day, with the Senior breakfast early in the morning; the Class Day program, ending with the Freshmen forming the letter S on the quad- rangle ; friends and relatives arriving during the day ; and the Senior dance climax- ing our college years of social activity and fun. Sunday morning the Baccalaureate sermon yielded inspiration. Our hearts will long reflect the glow of candles on the quadrangle during Sunday night ' s Seniority Service following the Vesper program. Graduation day, June 5. 1950, arrived at last. The processional, led by the Glee Club, including the Seniors, graduating Sophomores, and faculty members, marched down the aisle to the stirring strains of Pomp and Circumstance played by the college orchestra. The Seniors listened intently to the challenge given them by the commencement speakers. Then, as their names were called, they went proudly forward to receive their diplomas along with President Miller ' s congratu- lations. It was all over too soon. With tears in their eyes the Seniors sang their Alma Mater for the last time, and, clutching their diplomas, they liravely marched out to face the world. We marched together for the last time, with a lump in our throats but gladness in our hearts. [27]
