VOLUME 11 - NO. 6
WILKESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
MAY 21, 1982
Fifteenth Commencement
May 27,1982
Graduates
Our heartiest congratulations to
you as you approach your Wilkes
Community College Commence
ment! We hope your studies with
us may truly be the beginning of
greater accomplishments in your
lives.
Graduation exercises will be
held at 5:00 p.m., Thursday, May
27, in the College Gym in the
Technical Arts Building. The
graduating class will meet at 3:45
in the Gym for instructions for
line-up and preview of gradua
tion. Please come directly and
promptly to the Gym when you
arrive on campus, as we are
planning a very tight schedule in
order to conserve your time. If
you will ask your family and
friends to wait in the Commons or
outdoors until we are finished in
the gym, it will be appreciated.
On May 20, we will be mailing
to you a card with your line
assignment number for the
Commencement marching line.
Please check for this card in your
mail and place it in your wallet to
bring with you for aid in our
line-up procedure. This is a most
important item in our planning
for the best and most orderly line
organization, and please give it
your utmost attention.
We would also like to call your
attention to the mailer your
family will receive from the
Market South Photo Studios,
since you are probably not
familiar with this firm. They have
done photographs previously for
our graduation, and we have
heard nothing but praise for their
work and appreciation from
families for having the opportun
ity to get good photos of their
graduates.
Please be sure to check with the
library and the business office to
see that all financial obligations to
the college have been settled.
You may pick up your caps and
gowns in the Bookstore any time
after May 18 in order to have time
to “press the wrinkles out” before
May 27.
