March is the month that comes in like a
lion. Shakespeare tried to warn us; he
had Julius Caesar killed by supposed
friends on the Ides and cautioned us
about the "sun in March" in one of those
Henry plays. March also means facing the
final blast of winter. It’s the time to de-
cide if you really want those day-glo
ski-pants at the end-of-season close-out
sale, and the time to confront T-4 and Tax
Form monsters. Frightening prospects all.
To help you relax and tame the March
lion, here’s our look at campus comings
and goings:

College out of Waack...
Henry Waack, pianist extrodinaire and
the last remaining member of the Col-
lege’s original music faculty, will be
ving us at the end of this semester.

enry is also leaving a legacy in the form
of a scholarship for music students. As
well, we hear that Henry will be honored
in a show of musical memories called Try

to Remember on May 14-15 featuring
alumni from the Music and Theatre De-
partments. The show will be directed by
Henry’s long-time friend and collaborator
Dorothy Jones, who retired from the
Theatre Department last year.

The Vikings are coming...

When she’s not advising people in Stu-
dent Services, Diana Christie is involved
in a local historical society known as the
West Coast Viking Society that has some
rather ambitious plans. Seems Christie
and her crew are planning to build a
longship and stage a mock Viking raid
somewhere on the B.C. coast in 1994.

Domino effect...

Happy 30th, Diane...

Two days after Valentine’s Day, Depart-
mental Assistant Diane Emmerich took
some time away from keeping the Psych
Nursing Department on course to cele-

_brate her 30th wedding anniversary with

husband Ron.

From the D.C. archives...

The new Leader of the Opposition in Vic-
toria is a familiar name to many people
here at the College. Fred Gingell was on
the Douglas College Council (now called
the Board) from 1974 to 1980.

See you in April...no fooling!
