On the glorious spring after-
noon of May 4, the graduating
class from Northwest Communi-
ty College were piped into the
R.E.M. Lee Theatre for the
traditional graduation
ceremony.

The colourful procession of

graduates in blue gowns and.

white mortar boards proudly fil-
ed through the theatre and onto
the stage, preceded by their pro-
fessors, staff and guests in con-
trasting black and white gowns
with the audience of relatives
and friends showing their pride

' and delight with flashing smiles

and cameras.

The program began with a
vibrant solo “From a Distance’’
by Nancy L’Estrange, and
musical arrangements by Jose
Coosemans ‘and Rachel Reay

setting the stage for the im-
pressive ceremony of the presen-
tation of certificates to each of
the graduates by college presi-
dent Don Anderson and instruc-

‘tor Larissa Tarwick.

‘‘This is a proud moment for
everyone,”’ said Hans Wagner,
NWCC board chairman, while
congratulating the class. ‘“When
adults return to school, whole
families are often involved in the
effort — husbands, wives, chil-
dren and relatives — everyone
shares in the extra pressures of
work and time. This is a day for
all to celebrate.”

Guest speaker for the day was
Peter Poole, a former graduate
who first entered NWCC to up-
grade his schooling then went on
to complete two years academic
studies, and finally to complete
his degree at Simon Fraser
University. He is now a pro-
fessor of Sociology at Okanagan

College and was pleased to-

return to NWCC to renew
friendships and share his ex-
periences,

Ravi Gill, president of the
Student Association at the Ter-

‘race campus, spoke on behalf of

the students and thanked
everyone for making it all possi-
ble.

Keynote speaker Geoffrey
Weller, president of the Univer-
sity of Northern B.C., gave an
entertaining and enlightening
address, speaking of education
in the northern areas, in par-
ticular northern B.C., and ex-
pressed his pleasure to represent
Canada’s newest university. He
spoke of the cooperation in

post-secondary education be-
tween this new university and

the northern colleges and the
uniqueness which is found in
northern sectors, ‘Each has its
own area of expertise and we
will all benefit from working
together to complement each
