Pomp and ceremony are a must for graduation:
the auspicious time of leaving a cloistered stage
of one’s life and moving into a time of unlimited
possibilities. Fathers don suits and boutinieres,
Mothers cry and punk kids seem suddenly to
blossom into aspiring young adults.

Dragon, Banners, and Chinese words of wisdom
surrounded the gathered company as the eradu-
ates soleranly walked to their places to the pro-
voking words “Do You Know Where You Are _
Going To” by Diana Ross. fr

GRADUATIO

Stories of past school days in Cassiar and encour-
agement to achieve new goals with thought and
determination, were the two main ideas im-
parted to the graduates and guests of the
1979 Graduation Ceremonies. Speakers including
Dick Chambers, Mary Isaacs, John Forbes,
Valedictorians Ellen Knowles and Jud Overton,
Brian Pewsey, Glenn Cousins, Dave Lynn and»
Bill Burr, emphasized the graduation theme
“to reflect, but yet, to venture forth” and the
decorations “the great leap forward’, Lil
Kamlah and Mickey Overton provided a musical
interlude.

Graduates and their escorts made another formal
walk to begin the banquet held in the Rec Centre.
A sumptuous dinner prepared by the cookery
staff (to whom the graduates are very. grateful)

was attended by graduates, escorts, parents and

guests. —

The evening ended with a dance in the school
gym, with music courtesy of Bill Watson.
