COMMENCEMENT CONVOCATION

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDING

SUNDAY MORNING, MAY FOURTH

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE ELEVEN O'CLOCK GIFT TO THE UNIVERSITY FROM THE CLASS OF 1975 The Class of 1975 is indeed proud to continue the tradition established by previous senior classes—that of leaving a permanent reminder of their love and esteem for Prairie View A&M University. The gift from the Class of 1975 is a cash contribution. —THE CLASS OF 1975 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President CHARLES GREEN Vice-President ANTHONY JACKSON Secretary NINA MCCLENDON Treasurer CURTIS WADE Sergeant-at-Arms ALONZO SADBERRY Reporter ANDREA GREEN Student Senate Representative DONALD THOMAS Ways and Means Committee TERRY HAYWOOD Class Queen RENITA HARVEY First Attendant ALTHEA TATE Second Attendant ERMA SMITH Advisers MRS.

DELIA M. HUNT MR. GERARD MOSBY* MR. LUCIUS WYATT MR. ROBERT V. COLE MRS. ANNA JAMES MR. SAMUEL MONTGOMERY THE COMMENCEMENT PROCESSION An appropriate costume is a necessary part of Commencement. The costume includes a cap, a gown, and a hood. Each part of the costume has special significance. The most common head-piece (or cap) for the ceremony is the black, square, flat-topped, or "mortar board" type with gold or black tassel. It is called a "mortar board" because it is shaped like the board of the mason which holds the mortar. Recently we are seeing large velvet Tam-O-Shanter styles of head pieces replacing the mortar board. Some of the velvet tams are brilliantly colored such as orange or bright blue. The tassel on the doctor's cap is usually gold, and permanently fastened on the left side. The master's cap has a black tassel worn on the left. Tbe bachelor's cap has a black tassel worn on the right prior to graduation, then moved to the left during the ceremony. The hood can be the most colorful part of the entire costume. The colors inside the hood are those of the college or university which awarded the degree. The color of the outside rime of the hood symbolizes one of the following departments of learning. Agriculture Maise Medicine Green Arts, Letters, Humanities White Music Pink Commerce Accountancy, Business Drab Nursing Apricot Dentistry Lilac Oratory (Speech) Silver Gray Economics Copper Pharmacy Olive Green Education Light Blue Philosophy Dark Blue Engineering Orange Physical Education. . . Sage Green Fine Arts, including Architecture Brown Public Administration, including Forestry Russet Foreign Service Peacock Blue Geography Blue and Green Public Health Salmon Pink Home Economics Golden Yellow Science Golden Yellow Journalism Crimson Social Work Citron Industrial Education Light Blue Technology Golden Yellow Law Purple Theology Scarlet Library Science Lemon Veterinary Science Gray The gown is usually black. The traditional doctor's gown has velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the regular sleeves. The master's gown has no velvet, but does have unusually long sleeves. The bachelor's gown is similar to the master's but has regular length sleeves which tend to be pointed. Some gowns may be in the color of the department granting the degree, such as "Education Blue." Others may be "Yale Blue" or "Harvard Crimson" for graduates of these universities.

As days go by our hearts will not grow cold, We'll love Thy purple royal and Thy gold, We'll through our lives exemplify Thy teaching, We'll always strive a blessing to be. Thy children we our love and pride confessing, We'll love Thee now, and through eternity.
