Predicted thunderstorms (ailed to materialize Memorial Day afternoon, allowing 131 graduates to receive their degrees and diplomas at an outdoor commencement on the front lawn of College of the Albemarle. Perquimans County was well represented by 15 residents. Ten earned associates in applied science degrees for technical studies; four received diplomas for occupational training; and one received an associate in science degree. Three nursing graduates from Dare County missed the formalities because of heavy traffic, returning from the beach area on U.S. Highway 158, slowed progress to a snail's pace. What normally would have been a one hour drive, was extended to nearly three-and-one-half hours of stop-and-go travel. James Timmerman received the college's highest award, the President's Service Cup, from Dr. J. Parker Chesson, Jr., COA presidet. Each year, the college faculty selects the student it perceives as the one who has contributed most in services at the institution. Timmerman, a retired U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant commander, served as president of the Student Senate. He was described by Chesson as a hard working student, who is always involved in college projects. "Jim has been an effective leader, who is a true advocate of College of the Albemarle," Chesson said. "He is one of our most enthusiastic supporters, always promotng COA, both at home and across the state." The Michigan native, who became a part-time student in 1977, and enrolled on a full-time basis following his retirement, received his associate in applied science degree in electronic data processing. The college has been a family affair for the Timmermans, and one of his classmates, his youngest son, Patrick, graduated magna cum laude with a associate in art degree. His wife, Phyllis, and oldest son, Michael, graduated last year. The elder Timmerman will continue his studies in the light construction program. During the coming academic year, he will serve as vice president of the State Senate. James A. Summers, N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development secretary, stressed the importance the role of environment has played in the character and history of the state as he addressd the more than 850 people who were present for the ceremony. Sumner challenged his audience to maintain the quality of its natural surroundings, which he correlated with the quality of life. "I encourage you to maintain a clean 'Image' of what you want the region you life in to be," he said. "We cannot separate our lives from the source of our livelihoods."
