1963 Heritage Display - Cups
500 sterling silver cups
(499 graduates and one honorary graduate)
All cups are engraved
with the graduate's initials and name tags front
each cup
The Class Cups were purchased
by the 1963 Class Committee and used at graduation on 5 June 1963 and every
reunion thereafter.
They commemorate 1963 as
the first class to spend all four years at the
permanent site and the enduring spirit and commitment to service to country of
all
classes and graduates.
As classmates have
passed, in peace and war, their cups are turned in
solemn ceremony.
The legacy and attendant
responsibility of being a graduate and the
shared heritage of the long blue line embody the lasting values instilled at the
Academy. Here in Arnold Hall, the Class of 1963
Commemorative Cups and Heritage Display add to that reality.
The USAFA Class
Histories (www.usafach.org), sponsored by the Class of
1963, is available to add to the richness of experience and contribution of
all the classes of all the graduates.
