'Wil-sr 3, s X Q , in .4 5 4, ll . s Yin wi I, .,.k K kg K THE LONG-AWAITED DAY GRADUATION JUNE 18, 1958 The solemn moment of graduation fin- ally arrived. Dr. J. Paul Mather, President of the University of Massachusetts. gave the commencement address. He spoke force- fully and impressively upon the seriousness of education in our modern competitive world and of some of the qualities of character and leadership that the world is looking for. The band played a moving and noble piece by Massenet fthe Overture to Phedrej, awards and scholarships were presented, and then came the moment for each of us to hear his name called. to walk across the stage, and to receive the diploma. Naturally it was an occasion which will always stand out in our memories, and it was with a feel- ing of pride and of accomplishment that we moved our tassels from right to left to sig- nify that at last we were graduates.
