The End Of The Line With the end of the year comes gradua- tion. Students have mixed feelings about graduation day. Some graduates were eager to get out and find a job, while others were sad about leaving their friends behind. Dr. C.L. Kay, vice chancellor for Abilene Christian University, was the commence- ment speaker. After the commencement ad- dress, five people were presented honorary doctorates. Among these included James Oliver Butts, C.L. Kay, Zack Harrison Pruett, Robert Burton Wilson, and Mavie Dianne O'Dell who received her doctorate while in an iron lung. Because of the discontinuation of Decem- ber graduation, any December graduates who wished to walk the line were invited back for May graduation. Between the De- cember and May graduates, 202 received degreesg 14 were presented in absentia. The faculty scholarship-leadership medal was presented to Jeanna Massey for her outstanding leadership and hard work while at Freed-Hardeman College When asked about graduation, Jan Rowe said, It was very sad because graduation will be the last time l ever see some of these people again.
