DIPLOMA STOIT STATC COURGH.. - Dttt M ' t ' t- ' JWp MaoiS ' IC yourselves with the various campus clubs, sororities, end fraternities. From these activities you have gained fellowship, opponunities for developing vocational as welt as a vocational interests, and lasting friendships. You have derived satisfaction from these organizations whether you ser ' ed as a leader or as an active supporter. Your greatest gratification has been realized in the academic phase of your development. Perhaps the most important factor in this connection has been the in ' struction you received as students in the classroom and laboratory. Satisfaction has come with the knowledge that you have studied under men and women who are fully qualified to teach and who are dedicated to their task. Your teachers have demonstrated interest in their respective fields by utilizing the latest academic pro- cedures and laboratory ' techniques. The growing num- ber of advanced degrees being awarded them is further evidence of a determination on their part to broaden their educational background. A valuable adjunct in your learning process has been the laboratory ' facilities on the campus. Then, too, the library has played an important role since it has supplied you with textbooks as well as other publica- tions covering every phase of your academic program. But it was you, the students, who applied yourselves and used these tools to their best advantage. You learned early in your career that success was not a destination but a journey, and that gratification expressed itself when- ever you evidenced personal responsibility, social con- sciousness, or academic growth.

Gratification Gratification is the realization of a dream come true. As students, you have experienced it in various ways since your arrival on the Stout campus. It expressed itself early in your college career in terms of personal development. From the first day that you arrived in Menomonie, you have been compelled to make daily and important decisions. These included learning how to budget your time and money, deciding ' vhcn to perform your domestic duties, and securing em- ployment on campus and in town to defray college ex- penses or to gain that extra bit of spending money. An other source of gratification has been your church away from home in that it has always afforded you spiritual guidance and good fellowship. Satisfaction has also come as a result of your participation in a college athletic program which has improved your muscle tonus, co- f rdinition, and posture. Learning to live and work with others has been dominant factor in your self-development. This social •idjustment has also served as a continuing source of grat- ification. Your social contacts have not been limited to dormitory life, but have expanded as you affiliated n vvO !, roW lOV S Ntcdcd Name rrvENTBlRFAU. STOl Hocne MdtcV
