Therefore in our society, thoughtful, striving humans have the potential to find peace, as faith is experiencing God rather than proving Him, Dr, Haycock concluded his address by saying, You can't find religion until you know yourself that you are a child of God.

Dr. Geier, in his talk 'fThe Age of Understand- ingn, turned directly to the seniors at the beginning of his address and said, Mediocrity is a curse of our society. According to statistics twenty per cent of the American people are down-right lazy-intent on pleasing themselves. He compared our society with that of Rome, its deterioration, decay, erosion of high idealism, and downfall. MI ask you to do something about this, he said. He told the class to decry limited success, or just getting by. Many people are going to try to influence you. Don't think, I will take their place, rather, how much can I learn from them? Success doesn't come with- out individual eH'ort. He gave them four aims: make an effort to look at the Big Picture Qhow will my decision look ten yeorsfrom nowj, respect the opin- ions and positions of others, understand their views and perceptions, and take responsibility without fear? Dr. Geier concluded with these words, 'CAS you wear the garment and cap of knowledge, you must take up tasks which demand understanding, even of a person who might take your life. The diploma you receive today is only as good as the nurse who holds it. Mr. Howard W'inholtz presided, Reverend Alquinn Toews gave the invocation, Miss Eleanor Smith presented the candidates, and Dr. G. M. Needham awarded the diplomas. Mr. James A. Gillian, Administrative Aide to the President, Kahler Corporation, presented the H. Kahler Memorial Scholarship, and Dr. Minott Stickney, Vice Chairman, Board of Trustees, Mayo Founda- t1on, presented the Edith Graham Mayo and the Mayo Foundation Graduate Nurse Awards. The chorus, directed by Mr. Harold Cooke, sang 'cG1oria in Excelsisi' by Beethoven-Cooke, and I May Never Pass This Way Again by Melsher. i The H. Kahler Memorial Scholarship recip- ientiwas Trudy F atheree, Houlton, Wisconsin, and Judith Hamann, St. Paul, was alternate. The re- cipient of the Edith Graham Mayo Award, by the vote of the class, was janet Mickelson, Finley, North Dakota. Janet received a standing ovation from her class.

The commencement events for the seniors this year began on Friday, Aug. 5, when the class and their adviser, Mrs. Phil Sternberg, gathered at the Town House for a breakfast. The Class of 1966 has the distinction of being the first class to receive its diplomas at an afternoon graduation exercise, all previous exercises have been held in the evening. The plan to move the program from evening to afternoon hours had been under consideration for some time since all commencement events have been scheduled for one day. Holding the graduation exercises in the afternoon allowed parents and friends to return to their homes that day without having to be on the highways so late. Another change in the over-all Commencement Day plans this year was omitting the afternoon faculty reception.

CQIQQ june 1, a beautiful, warm, sunny day, found the Class of 1966 emerging from Maxwell and Edith Mayo Halls attired in their prettiest summer out- fits, complete with hats, gloves and heels. The oc- casion was the annual Mayo Foundation Tea given in honor of the seniors of Methodist-Kahler and St. Marys. s we walked u the curved driveway towards A P the house, we were impressed by the grandeur of the Foundation House, and the beauty of the flower gardens. In the reception hall we were greeted by mem- bers of the M-K and St. Marys, faculties and each senior was presented a long-stemmed rose. It was a privilege to roam through the house and yard and enjoy the beauty and elegance of this historical home. In Balfour Hall, on third floor, we viewed for the first time the famous stained glass window which depicts two thousand years of medical history and the inter-relationship of education, practice and research. Refreshments were served here and we had further opportunity to visit with students and faculty. We will always recall with pleasure the afternoon at the Mayo Foundation House. Susan Buske, '66 Quinton - Samoa CQauquet Happiness is . . . H was the theme of the J.-S. Banquet held in Heritage Hall on july 23, 1966. The programs, table, and wall decorations fea- tured Snoopy, Charles Schultzis puppy of the comic strip 'fPeanuts, and many of the happiness say- ings, plus some appropriate originals by the juniors. Judy Munger, junior, was toastmistress for the program, and Frances Peterson gave the blessing. Linda Tuttle, junior president, and Kathy Boyum, senior president, gave the welcome and response. Following the dinner, a group of the graduate exchange nurses known as the Filipino Dancersi' delighted the audience with several native dances. The guest speaker was Rochester's well-known Mr. Harley Flathers of KROC Radio Station. With his characteristically fluent style he pleased his audience by using both humorous and serious ideas in relation to Happiness is . . . One of the serious thoughts he emphasized was that each of us bas- ically desires to enrich our own and other's lives, and that in this we pursue the goal of happiness. Happiness for nurses, he thought, is doing for and with others, as we are in a position where we are able to view life from beginning to end. If we are good, we become a gift to humanity-and hap- piness is giving large or small. It was an evening our class will cherish, as hap- piness for us . . . was then being together.
