100 Days

The real countdown to Graduation started in mid-February when 100 Days' Banquet and Dance was celebrated for the Class of '91. For many, it was the first time that they realized: "Wow! This is my last semester in college — how scary/exciting/sad!" It also set off a whole string of observations, such as "This is my last Spring Break, midterm, or snow on campus." This mindset was the mood of a good part of the semester for the senior class; in many ways, it was harder leaving Holy Cross Than high school because many people had not yet determined what exactly the next step in their life would be.

Commencement activities started on Wednesday afternoon with the Senior picnic at the Hart center. The constant threat of rain did not dampen the spirits of the class members who gathered together for one of the last times Many people had just returned from a sunny week at Cape Cod, and so were relaxed and tanned On this afternoon, many of the family members and friends of the graduates started to arrive in Worcester — Commencement no longer loomed in the distant future, but was a very real event

Spree Night

"Spree Night" followed the picnic, taking place in the pub The highlight of the evening was the Slide Show showing the class over the 4 years. This last night in the pub sparked a lot of reminiscing among the Seniors, all the way back to Freshmen Orientation, and especially the hypnotist that weekend. Dean Vellaccio had told the class then that Graduation was the only other time that the entire class would be assembled together — most of the faces were now familiar and the Slide Show provided great opportunity to think back over the years. Each person had grown quite a bit since entering the college as a bewildered first-year student 4 years ago. Given the chance to "Do Whatcha Like" for one of the last times at HC, Seniors later cut loose to the music on the dance floor and made the most of the evening.

Thursday afternoon at 3:00 Seniors donned their Graduation robes for the Baccalaureate. Sitting as a class, they filled up almost the entire St. Joseph's Chapel while their guests either stood in the back or watched downstairs in the Mary Chapel on "simulcast" television Although the heat was oppressive outside, inside the Church was more bearable. Being the 500th anniversary of the birth of St. Ignatius Loyola and the 450th anniversary of the founding of the Society of Jesus, it was a special year in which to graduate The homily delivered by Rev. James F. DoneIan, S J , professor at the Asian Institue of Management in Manila. incorporated moving metaphors: for example. he called upon each class member to consider him/herself to be a ship that does not anchor itself safely in the harbor, but ventures into deeper waters taking greater risks in life Accompanying the Mass was the Baccalaureate Ball that evening for seniors and their parents in the Field House

Commencement

Friday morning May 24 the class of 1991 received their diplomas The morning dawned with sunny but hot weather, after reports in the beginning of the week had predicted the strong possibility of rain. The 145th conferring of the degrees was performed by Father Brooks. However, the class members were not the only ones in the spotlight that day — honorary degrees were bestowed upon George Edward Rueger, Doctor of Religious Education, Sally McDevitt Cunneen and Joseph Edmund Cunneen, Doctor of Humanities, James Francis DoneIan, Doctor of Humane Letters, J Joseph Moakley, Doctor of Public Service; Kenneth Lawrence Woodward, Doctor of Journalism In her Valedictory Address, Kathleen Walsh struck many chords of familiarity in the audience with her funny, true, and conclusive observations on the HC experience from a student's perspective Following Walsh, and from a very

different perspective, Kenneth Woodward challenged each class member to always keep in mind that education does not end on Commencement Day, but is a lifelong process, his statement "Read, read, read, write, write, write" was perhaps the most memorable Once the Exercises were over, the new alumni and their guests were able to say their final good-byes to HC and to each other at the reception on Fenwick Lawn and the brunch in Kimball
