Baccalaureate Mass begins Graduation Day with prayer for guidance for the unknown days that lie ahead. 24 UNE wav -9 Baccalaureate The end became the starting point for 163 graduating seniors on May 30 during the annual Commencement Day exercises, The clouds broke early in the day and the sun shone through as the graduates looked forward to a bright future.

Senior Dinner Dance Drinking, dining, and dancing were the order of business as the class of '65 rounded out the social side of their four years at Rockhurst with the traditional Senior Dinner Dance.

An ideal spring evening in early May with the stars and the full moon shining, along with good liquor, good food, and pretty girls, created the perfect atmosphere for that one last fling. Mixing formality with friendly informal atmos- phere, the seniors danced away the hours with their dates to the music of the George Tidona band,--a fitting social climax to four years at Rockhurst.
