returnins to school after a long absence, and particularly my Oo

 

husband who proof-read innumerable essays and could always find time
wien I needed a shoulder to cry on, a pat on the back or kiek in

tite pants.

In addition I must thank the board for opening one more door
of opportunity to the not-so-typical student by allowing me the
privilege of being this year's Valedictorian. Your selection has
illustrated your commitment to the preservation of this institution
as a community college, with the emphasis on service to the com-
manity. And to you my fellow graduates, particularly that group of
idealized Valedictorians, it has been an honour to be your classmate.

Sood luck in your future endeavors, and THANK YOU,
