Graduation Day d n idu UcaK To any college student, graduation day repre- sents the culmination of four years of work, fun, and friendships. To the freshman, graduation seems an evcni reserved for the future — som;-thing longed for, but never ro come. To the sophomore and junior, a feeling of impatience may b; mingled with one of anticipation, for the long awaited day, which now l(X)ms on the horizon, seems slow in coming. To the senior, the realization that G day is at hand brings a sense of accomplishment for all, and for some, a feeling of relief. It is the senior who recognizes that graduation repre- sents an end in one sense, but a beginning in another. Yes, graduation day can mean a variety of things to you, but whatever your feelings may be, this day will stand out in your memory. You will always remember the proud look of the parents, the happy faces of the other graduates, and the firm handshake of the president of the college as he hands you your diploma. Other memorable things will happen during your lifetime, but there will always be only one graduation day. (22)

As they reflect, each year seems to have brought them a fulfillment of their dreams of achievement, fun, and happiness in college. They graduate with fond memories of classes, proms, smokers, games, dates, and fricnds- As the seniors look back over their last year in college, they can see that it has not been an idle one. They carried on the activities which have bscome traditional with each grad- uating class. During the first week of school this year the seniors sponsored the all-school picnic for the freshmen, trans- fers, and returning students. Old acquaintances were renewed, and new friendships formed among the group. They also con- ducted the tour of the town to acquaint the new students with Menomonic during Freshmen Week. At Homecoming, the seniors again did their part by dec- orating the campus. They displayed lifelike drawings of the members of the football team in the Harvey Hall corridor and also set up in this same building the alumni booth which served as the central meeting place for all the returning grad- uates. Most of all, it was fun just being a senior and enjoying the privileges and feeling the responsibilities that belong to a senior. Commencement week with its farewell breakfasts, dinners, and teas will be a week long remembered by members of the class. The week was climaxed with the big farewell banquet which brought all the seniors together socially for the last time. Although it was a happy occasion, everyone felt an inner sad- ness when he realized that the time was drawing nigh when he must bid goodbye to all the friends and places that had become so much a part of his college life. Yet, as each senior receives his diploma, he looks forward to the future with confidence, knowing that during his four years at Stout, he has received the best training for his chosen profession whether it be in the field of home economics or industrial education.
