Msgr. Lohmann addresses the graduating seniors in the university ' s Most Holy Name of Jesus church. The Mass, which opened Commence- n i l. i c ment Week activities, was celebrated by the Rev. Edward A. Doyle, The Rt. Reverend Msgr. Herman P. Lohmann, V.h. S.J., university vice-president. MSGR. LOHMANN SPEAKS Seek Christ, Who is Truth itself, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Herman P. Lohmann, V.F., told graduates at the Bacca- laureate Mass opening Commencement Week. Too many world leaders, the pastor of St. Joseph ' s church in Baton Rouge said, seem to be unable to solve the problems confronting them. Can it be, he asked, that these men have not found Christ? Study the way, he said, before you take steps which have far-reaching effects, always keeping in mind Christ ' s own words, ' Without Me you can do nothing. ' Msgr. Lohmann told the graduates to go out into the world, sharing with others what God has given to you so generously.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK EXERCISES The strain of exams was finally over for the last time and for the graduating seniors, who had struggled through four, five, six, seven years of college, all that was left was the glory. Events came fast and furious— the Bac- calaureate AAass, the commencement re- hearsal, the alumni reception, the alum- nae luncheon, and finally, graduation . . . The traditional parade to Baccalaureate Mass. Posing for the camera brings smiles to the faces of pretty graduates Earleen Fournet, Gall Frischhertz and Carroll Murray. For some— farewells. For others— indecision.

The university ' s 49th commencement exercises took place Wednesday night, May 25, in the Fieldhouse— air conditioned especially for the occasion. Degrees were conferred upon 338 graduates, some of them in absentia, representing 16 states and three foreign countries. The Most Rev. Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummell of New Orleans presented the diplomas to each of the graduates and the Very Rev. W. Patrick Donnelly, S.J., moved the tassel on each graduate ' s cap from the right to left side. Warm applause accompanied the presentation of diplomas to two of the members of the graduating class who completed their studies despite physical handicaps. Larry Fontan, blind since birth, is congratulated by Father Donnelly upon receiving his L.L.B., and Evelyn Haley, who completed her studies for a B.B.A. while confined to a wheelchair, here receives a special blessing, from Archbishop Rummel. Special congratulations were in order from the Archbishop for the four students who were graduated summa cum laude. They are Keith Carroll, Carolyn Brandt, Lawrence McNamara and Dorinda Downes. In addition, eight students were graduated magna cum laude and 11 cum laude. f Wl
