t ) A I Robert Tekkessen Preiidenl Judy Day Vice Prend:nt Lillian Smith Secretary Jo:-iN Smith Trcantrer The First Graduates of Stout State College Once again it ' s time for the graduating class to bid its Alma Mater a fond farewell and to make way fOT the senior class of 1957. For the present senior class, graduation means the completion of four college years filled with many varied and memorable experiences. During their first three years at Stout, these students iccepted and successfully discharged the responsibilities which arc traditionally assigned to each class. Nor did ihey shirk their duties once they attained the rank of seniors. Early in the school year before other students had had an opportunity to meet with members of their respective classes, the seniors sponsored the all school picnic — a picnic that provided for everyone an oppor- tunity ' to renew old acquaintances and make new and lasting friendships. With the new year well under way it was soon time for the seniors to participate in their last home- coming. Once again this group iumped into action and rolled out the carpet for returning alumni, helping to provide a welcome atmosphere by decorating Harvey Hall and setting up the alumni booth for registration. Soon these same seniors could be seen hurrying though rhe cold, white Wisconsin winter as they prepared for •he yuletide season with its cherished memories of church activities, caroling, and parties. It was at the all ichool Christmas dance that the seniors awarded many of the unsung heroes of the Stout campus signifi- cant gifts of appreciation. Christmas vacation was followed closely by a semes- ter change as eighteen weeks had already elapsed, and the seniors now round themselves hurriedly preparing for the last final exams in their college careers. It was also necessary material required by the placement office and 32 definite look toward the future as he gathered the necessary material required by the placement office and became more immediately aware of a goal nearly attamed. Bv now, of course, the halfway mark had been -cached and although the first semester had seemingly flown by, the final one was to go even faster, what with the advent of spring and its Easter activities. All too soon came the climactic week of them all, commence- ment, which truly brought to a close a college year not soon to be forgotten. The entire week of com- mencement was one mad whirl of festivities for the seniors. The farewell banquet which brought all seniors Together socially for the last time vvas a happy occasion rhat all had looked forward to; yet each felt an inner sadness when he realized that the hour was drawing figh when he must bid goodbye to all the friends and pkces that had become so much a part of his four years of college life. Seniors however, when looking over the years ' activities, remember that these have been merely a -v upplment to the many hours of study that have gone (nto the earning of a degree. As the members of the first graduating class of Stout State College, these seniors race the future with confidence which comes with the realiiation that they have been afforded an excellent foundation on which to build their futures. To some •t means the beginning of more schooling and high- er degrees; to others it means the immedate use of the training in their chosen profession. But to all it means the beginning of more and continued learning .IS they attempt to keep abreast of daily changes and become the leaders of tomorrow.
