,cal i ar J Twll JXG v' Commencement Drs Armour and Webb lead Procession The Awards Wt Graduauon ,,. Dr. Armour. It is always a sad as well as wonder ful and happy thing to graduate And so the twenty third Class ofthe Webb Schoool graduated on Satur da June 6 in the afternoon It meant the most to the twenty tive Seniors whose careers had gust be gun and for the others it meant much as the end ot a time of lute some time full of turbulence and many emotions and presumably growth The culmination of Webb lite ot the year 1958-59 saw the usual award presentations-too many this year to be given all at Commencement- and it saw a new tide at the full, another iust beginning. Dr. Richard Armour ot Pomona Col- lege gave the address, admonishing the Seniors: Laughing at yourself, self-critical laughter . . . is the hardest ot all and the most important ot all . . . I commend to you a sixth sense that l hope you never forget to use when the world is a little too much tor you, or you are a little too much tor the world. Voledictorian Kersten. .?0 J. Hall gives Invocation.
