Trojan Mixed Chorus directed by Miss Gaston sang for Recessional at the Methodist Church at conclusion of Baccala ureate . service . Baccalaureate Sketches Future Responsibility Speaker Rev. Robbins developed the thought that Baccalaureate is a time for a sermon at eveningtide and a reminder that a world of adults is welcoming us to a world of responsibility. -Responsibility as an adult implies the need for guidance and thus we begin to see the need for God's direction. We, living in the richest country in the world, are a tiny minority compared with the majority of the world and its poverty. Thus we become prejudiced. Prejudices are tragic because we pass them on to succeeding gener- ations. We scatter our selfish desires with unconscious de- light and with complete disregard of the harm they do to others. Hence, our efforts should be directed to following those who are least prejudiced. We will discover that people are selfish and childish. And our help will be in faith and love toward our fellow-man. Love knows no limit to its endur- ance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope. Faith is summed up as endurance, trust and hope -- and herein lies the salvation for our generation. Rev. Sheridan Robbins, First United Presbyterian Church, Beloit, speaker. BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1959 azoo P. M. Marr-ronrs'r cr-runcz-1 Processional .... .....

i Thelma Ann Finley In Appreciation Dr. Raymon Charles The Time Has Come At left seated, Rev. Richard Tarr. At right seated, Principal Robert Harrison, class president Brian Hogan. QQ The Time Has Developing the thought that The Time Has Come to think of many things, Dr. Charles pointed out that nowhere else in the world -- in no other civilization -- does the event of high school Commence- ment take place. The class of '59 is a privileged group also because its members have achieved that which many strove for but have not accomplished. Continuing the premise that The Time Has Come, Dr. Charles reminded that though man has learned to fly like a bird, swim like a fish, and in other ways dupli- cate nature, .he has yet to learn to walk like a man. The Time Has Come to think of writing this chapter in the story of mankind. The Time Has Come to learn four cardinal ways of living: 1. To think without confusion clearly. 2. To love our fellow-man sincerely. 3. To act from honest motives purely. 4. To trust in God and heaven securely. In summarizing, Dr. Charles pointed out that The Time Has Comei' to recog- nize the importance of the role that we are going to be playing in the world -- not only as an individual, but also as a port of so- ciety, Class of '59 Pomp and Circumstance at the Municipal Auditorium 99 Y Come - commencement COMMENCEMENT Seventy-Sixth Graduation Anniversary MONDAY, MAY 25, 1959 8:00 P.
