The End; Yet The Beginning Graduation day is warm and sunny as the 1977 graduating Seniors march to receive their diplomas. Commencement exercises are held in the College Chapel on June 4. During the service, Miriam Maddox is honored for her 20 years of serving as director of the procession; honorary degrees are conferred upon Donald Leslie Tyler and Gerald V. Smelser; and Dr. James T. Jeremiah, President of Cedarville College,announces that the school year for 1977-78 is to be his last at the college.
