The 1963 Graduation processional for Baccalaureate services approachs the entrance to the Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church. 92 One hundred sixty-five bachelor degrees, 22 Masters degrees, and six Bachelor ol Law degrees were presented during the 11th annual Commencement exercises. Commencement week ceremonies began with Baccalaureate Services at the Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church with Dr. William C. Rust delivering the sermon. Graduation exercises saw 193 degree can- didates file into the Greek Theater packed with 1,500 persons. Dr. Glenn Phillips, Bishop of the Denver area of the Methodist Church, presented the Commencement ad-1 dress, Ml-low to Fail Successfully. Graduation represents at least four years of hard work in the classroom and field. These final few days don't effortlessly and inevitably happen. They come from rigorous study by students and sacrifice from their families, whether parents, wife or husband who have worked during these years with the glowing pride their brief denial will be more than adequately rewarded by a col- lege diploma. The cherished cap and gown walk through Peppertree Lane to Cal Westerns Greek Theater is a symbol of the achievement of a higher education designed not only to pre- pare one for greater vocational duties, but to deepen and Widen interests so that CWU graduates become assets to their nation. Graduation is a time for reflection on the activities, accomplishments, and failures of the past four years. A new world is facing these students who now must step out from under the shield provided by family and school and face both social and intrinsic re- sponsibilities for which their education has been preparation.
