The Seniors in turn reflect back on what they have learned and What they have accomplished during the four years and are grateful to those who have led and inspired them. Dr. Lawson comes to the rostrum and in- troduces the valedictorian, Sam Greenly, Who speaks for the graduating class, expressing for them their mingled feelings and last fare- well. The Commencement speaker, Rev. Dr. 0. A. Benson, a graduate of Upsala, the Class of 1912, rises and addresses the class. His topic was, There are Stairs Ahead? The final and culminating event of the day is the awarding of the degrees. Each graduate marches on to the platform, receives his diploma and academic hood. He is now en- titled to write B.A. after his name. The class rises simultaneously to sing the Alma Mater and its college days are over. There but remains the congratulations of proud parents and friends and not to be for- gotten the Senior Reception. Fond memories Will always linger as the Class of 1940 takes its place in the ranks of the Alumni and the Class of 1941 steps up to take its place.
