“

Graduation day dawned clear, cool and sunny after a night of furious partying and marching through the dorms. Hangovers were evident every- where but the freshness and excitement of the morning brought a new life to the weary seniors. As we moved to our respective meeting places, I felt as though I were in a dream. The culmination of four years of hard work and good times was drawing to a close. The procession into the tent had the air of a dignified carnival. The harmony of kazoos and pipe organ offered a humorous alternative to the traditional melody of Pomp and Circumstance. It was indeed the most relaxed commencement in many years. Guest speaker, Elma Lewis is a splendidly candid and down to earth woman who helped us put the awarding of a diploma in its proper perspective. She pointed out the financial rewards attached to the piece of paper, but warned that it did make us any better than a person without it. Education should not be a status symbol, but a means to improve ourselves and the social environment we will live in. Bill Abraham ' s speech conveyed a similar message to that of Ms. Lewis ' . Bill stressed that education is a personal tool and hinted that our newly acquired knowledge could lead to self-destruction. The ovation that Bill received following his brief words was well deserved. Graduation ceremonies are traditional, yet we found that amongst the pomp and circumstance there was something unique; something just for us. Diplomas distributed and the alma mater sung, we proceeded to file out, realizing that what had seemed so far away four years ago had passed. Now we are graduates, recipients of a diploma, alumni. To many it was a memorable experience — to others a mere formality. For all it was both an end and a beginning. It was the conclusion of a long and difficult climb as well as the commencement of a new start. More than ever now, we are conscious of a certain destiny — a destiny we are now equipped to shape into a formidable future. While each of us measures success in differing fashions, tempering our knowledge with wisdom should help each of us achieve our goals. M.P. and R.C.T. CO U UENCaUBNT
