J: w S Vj iW ' • : ' - ; Graduation: A Beginning, Not an End There may be 365 days in a year, but for the graduating senior, there was only one, a Sunday at the end of May. Al- though graduation was a long, hot, drawn-out affair taking place under cloudy skies that promised rain before the ceremony was over, the Senior Class of 1971 went through these trials beaming with a pleasant feeling of satisfaction of having finally accomplished the arduous task. As they walked that final path from the administration building and listened to the baccalaureate and graduation speakers, these young adults had time to pause and reflect on their memories of Big L. How- ever, the final words of the speaker re- called their wandering thoughts. Soon each uncomfortable, but proud, senior marched across the stage to claim his sheepskin. For some, commencement marked the end of a long struggle; to others it symbol- ized the responsibility of applying knowl- edge gained in the past four years; but to all it indicated the beginning, not the end. 25
