. . released from the burden of exams . . znvested zn Owmg robes and the festivities 17981111 ommeneement Week With the advent of sunny June, the Sen- ior Class-Awith a mixture of sadness and happiness -- began the closing activities of Commencement Weelc. Released at last from the burden of final examinations, the prospec- tive graduates, invested in their flowing robes, plunged into the bustle of banquets, dances, parties, and ceremonies with which Seniors traditionally end their college days. Commencement activity actually began on Parent's Day with the Investiture of Sen- iors, but did not reach its peak until the night of the Senior Prom. On the Tuesday preced- ing Commencement, the Class held its Senior Banquet at the Beau Reve, an affair notable for many reasons. The following evening, resplendent in dinner jackets the Seniors listened for the last time to the music of Ted Herbert's orchestra at the Carousel Ballroom, the last class dance. On the eve of Commencement the stu- dents gathered for the final time in the col- lege dining hall for the Alumni Banquet Ll gathering at which they were united with those who had preceeded them. And then at last Commencement Weeli came to a close on Friday, June 8, 1951. In the hot June sun we received our degrees, symbols of an end and a beginning, the end of four Wonderful years and the beginning of an unknown future. . . the banquet was held at the Bean Reve . . but was notable for many reasons.
