Homecoming 1989 Ball Honours Twentieth
Anniversary of Douglas College

Nearly 100 friends of Douglas
College gathered at the Hotel Geor-
gia for a formal dinner and dance
to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of
Douglas College and the 1st An-
niversary of the Alumni Associa-
tion.

The honoured guests at the
gathering included Stewart
Graham, considered by many to be
the “father of Douglas College,”
Bill Day, president of Douglas Col-
lege, Dr. Pauline Hughes, chairman
of the Douglas College Board, and
president of the Douglas College
Alumni Association, Ted Jang.

Stewart Graham, the keynote

 

speaker gave a riveting account of
the five year period that led up to
the opening of Douglas College.
As Ted Jang later noted, “Stewart's
amazing stories of challenges faced
and conquered to get this College
off the ground really shows us how
far we’ve come in twenty years.”
Other special guests included
former Douglas College Board
chairmen Helen Casher and Cliff
Murnane, and the former College
bursar Bill Morfey. Faculty and
staff from both Douglas and
Kwantlen College came to enjoy
the event. Charter student Bruce
Clarke and his wife Helen were

 

also honoured at the event.

By all accounts the food was
fabulous and the entertainment
superb. The Douglas College
Alumni Association extends its
sincere thanks to all those who
came out to celebrate this special
event with us. @
