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
