Boy Scout Executive Addresses Graduating Class Graduation exercises were held on the campus quadrangle, Sunday, May 4, for one hundred and twenty-five graduating seniors, twenty-five of whom would receive their diplomas the following August. Speaker for the occasion was Mr. Ben H. Love, Sr., Boy Scouts of America ' s chief scout executive, who in his address challenged graduating seniors to be resourceful in using their talents. In an ad- dress entitled Your Destiny Is Yours, Love told the graduates, There are many people in this world who have great talent. Translating that talent into productivity is the key to success. And only you can control this destiny. Love, a 1955 graduate, charged the class members to watch how their time is spent and to plan to spend it achieving their goals. Love and the Reverend Paul F. Douglass, director of the Conference Council on Ministries for the Memphis Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, and twelve- year member of the Lambuth College Board of Trustees, received honorary degrees. Love received the Doctor of Humanities and Douglas received the Doctor of Divinity degree. As part of the commencement program, three students received high academic awards: Elizabeth C. Hartman received the R. E. Womack Outstanding Senior Award, James Franklin Ramsey, the Alpha Omicron Pi Outstan- ding Service Award, and Sally Eileen Doyle, the Sigma Kappa Scholarship Award, given to the graduate with the highest scholastic average. The baccalaureate service, which was held earlier in the day in the chapel, featured Dr. Charles W. Mayo, Vice- President and Dean of the college.
