First Glance

Carolyn Pyle Mathis, d’72, and Kelly Mathis, p’70, McPherson, were among the 1970 and ’72 graduates who finally walked down the Hill May 15, a half-century after rain canceled their walks. “We were so surprised and pleased with the reception and many congratulations, happy faces and smiles from others experiencing their Commencement for the first time,” Carolyn says. “It was a super day, and one that we will always treasure.” For more on Commencement, see Always Jayhawks section.
