GRADUATION -1965
Fr. Edward Lew and Fr. Pasquale Ferrara relax before Baccalaureate Services at Sacred Heart Cathedral.
May 30, 1965 one hundred sixty-three seniors from
St. Ambrose and one hundred fifty-one seniors from
Marycrest assembled at Sacred Heart Cathedral for the
Baccalaureate Mass. His Excellency, Archbishop John
B. Franz of Peoria delivered the sermon using the epistle
and gospel of the day as his text. He urged the graduates
to use the good things they had and would receive in the
service of others. He applied the gospel to those responsible for the education of the graduates, those who had
equipped the candidates to bear witness to Christ. Archbishop Franz advised adopting the motto of Bishop
Hayes: By work and by adhering to truth.
Commencement was held on the front lawn of Saint
Ambrose. His Excellency, Bishop Ralph L. Hayes conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts on
Mr. Charles Gigante, retiring conductor of the Tri-City
Symphony. Mr. Robert W. Galvin, Chief Executive of
Motorola, Inc., was given an honorary Doctor of Laws.
Mr. Galvin delivered the address to the graduates
outlining the role of the college graduate in today's society. Eight points were enumerated as basic to success:
Know the objectives of the organization which you join;
learn to think; have courage to express self; learn to
communicate; work your job; be positive, not negative;
bring loyalty to your organization; and bring character
to your job.
The American and Papal Flags lead the traditional graduation procession as the Bishop of Davenport and St. Ambrose President follow.
