It was on this date, May 11,1974 that we graduated.
Hard to believe it's been 45 years.
Do you recall the commencement speaker?
As I recall G. Rollie White was packed for the ceremony.

Congratulations on being the only from your class who knows how to use a computer/smart phone. Grand kids are good for something, right?

I was there..my brother was class of 74 (I graduated in 77). Why do I think the speaker was John Connally . I'm old, too.

I'm not as old as the OP. I only graduated 40 years ago. I'm taking the youngest son to take his driver's test next week. Time flies.

Other poster is correct. The speaker was Gerald Ford. He said, "Aggies are doers not booers."

Bryan College Station news Sunday May 12, 1974 has front page article on then Vice President Gerald Ford's commencement address for the Class of 74 (including me).

My Mom's scrap book she kept for me shows page 6A and indicates "standing room only" and 1961 students graduated.

I was commissioned into the USAF that afternoon by General George S. Brown, Chief of Staff of the Air Force.
