Photo: Tim Below Letter from Tony On behal-f o^ the entire Wayne Community College -family, I wish to extend congratulations to the graduates o-f the class o-f 1990. The students who receive their cer t i-f i cates, diplo mas, and degrees on May 24 will be the -first gradua ting cl ass si nee the completion o-f the new campus construction in 1989. Everyone associated with WCC can share the pride o-f these graduates because each person who crosses the stage is an example o-f the quality WCC represents. Accordingly, the success o-f each graduating class is a measure o-f the success o-f our institution as the -faculty, administration, and support sta-f-f al 1 strive to practice our motto, "We specialize in you." WCC Arts Farewell, Tony By: Michelle Albrecht WCC would like to bid a ■fond -farewell to visiting art i st Tony Medli n. During Medlin-'s residen cy, he has delighted us with his many talents. His uersat i1i ty was apparent in the one-man show "Van Gogh," in which he played 12 di-f-ferent roles. Facul ty, sta-f-f, and students will remember his vivid portrayal o-f Ebenezer Scrooge as he per-formed excerpts -from Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol." He 1i terally pul led into this per-formance many members -from the audience, including Bill Benn*tt, Public In-formation 0-fficer, and Ruth Popt#p, wife o-f President Porter. Tony has appeared be-fore many classroom audiences, especially English 152 students studying drama. He has per-formed 25 t imes in local pubiic schools, entertaining approximately 4500 students. In addition, he arranged -for exchange programs whereby other artists per-formed at WCC. There is ample evidence o-f what can be achieved when students take advan tage o-f educational opportunities and when caring, competent pro- •fessionals work together to help them. Our success-ful graduates are all over Goldsboro and Wayne County in virtually every segment o-f the community—in business, industry, agriculture, -fire and rescue, law en-force- ment, education, health care and public service. More than 30 graduating classes have distinguished, along with themselves, our college as a producer o-f skilled employees and responsible citizens. As students o-f WCC, whether you are in the graduating class o-f 1990 or whether you plan to graduate later, you can Medlin's summer plans consist o-f working with the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival portraying the ghost in "Hamlet." He also plans to tour with the -festival this fall having a part in "Comedy o-f Errors." When the festival ends, Medl in wants to -further his studies and get seriously involved in martial arts. Shirley Boyd, '.^ice Presidnt o-f Educational Services and coordinator o-f the Visiting Artist component at WCC said, "Tony has been easy to work with. He has made made fine contributions of his time and energy to WCC," To the student body: I would 1 ike person al ly to express my thanks to the officers of the SGA for their help and assistance during the production of "Mermaids On Black Velvet". One of the problems of doing community theater is that often you must be a force of one and al1 responsibilities are left to you. I had no reserves of energy left before opening and did not know how to deal with the ticket sales and ushering. The SGA officers volunteered and gave freely of their time and energy without being asked. Theater is a labor intensive business and cannot exist on the efforts of one person. Volunteerism of this nature allows for the existence of such an art form. Thanks SGA, you saved ray life! Tony Medli n WCC Visiting Artist
