Commencement ceremonies have traditionally been held twice each year, one at the end of spring term in May and one following the fall term in December. Some issues will include blank pages where pages were blank in the originals; this is not an error.

Gray and white marble paperweight with the emblem for Polk Community College inside a golden circle on the top of the paperweight. Primarily golden in color, the emblem is golden, green, and atomic orange and is shaped like a keystone. It includes images of an orange near the top, cattle horns near the bottom, and shovel and fasces (bundle of wooden rods and an axe tied together) crossed in the middle over an image of an open book. All of the center images are golden over a green background, except the orange which is both orange and golden. The words Polk Community College are written in atomic orange on the top, left, and right respectively and 1964 is written at the bottom. The text and date are further emphasized as the keystone shape also lines the interior and exterior of the text and date in atomic orange. The words Noblesse Oblige are written in gold in the center of the emblem, below the orange and above the book with the shovel and fasces.
