In the College 's centennial year, three hundred eighty-two stu- dents received degrees from St. Ambrose. Thirty-two were can- dida tes for a Master's of Business Administration. According to TIME magazine U une 28, 19822, this year 945, 000 were grant- ed bachelor's degrees, 303,000 were granted master's degrees, and over 33,000 doctorates were granted. The class of '82 is the largest in the na tion hs history. St. Ambrose College 's output hardly seems like a drop of water in the bucket. Yet the signiH- cance lays not there, but in the ripple genera ted by that drop of wa ter. Indeed, Commencement is the culmination of all the years spent in college. The very meaning of the word is important. Com- mencement.' a beginning. A ripple that will constantly expand in one's life. Perhaps the future will prove difHcult, especially when consider- ing the vast number of degreed people flooding the job market. Nonetheless, one leaves conHdently from St. Ambrose College and armed with the simple fact that faith, hard work, and a sense of humor will make life much more easier to live. Afterall, the ripple is only generated here, It is up to each graduate to increase its magnitude. Opposite page, upper left: Lauditory ladies: Patty Tournai, Ev Thoms, and Teresa Thomas.
