THE VOICE OF WILKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE
VOI. 12, NO 6
WILKESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
MAY 21, 1983
Sixteenth Commencement
May 26,1983
Graduates
Graduates, to you we extend
our most sincere congratu
lations as you approach your
Wilkes Community College
Commencement. We truly hope
that your past studies with us
will be the beginning of greater
accomplishments and higher
goals attained.
Graduation exercises will be
held at 5:00 p.m., Thursday, May
26, 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
graduation. 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 19, we will be mailing
to you a card with your line
assignment number for the
Commencement marchin 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 opportunity 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 at
any time in order to “press the
wrinkles out” before May 26.
Again, graduates, you have
proven to WCC faculty and
students, relatives, and friends
alike that you are prepared to
move on to more rewarding and
enriching experiences. Tomor
row will reflect your values, your
ideas, and most definitely your
contributions to mankind. We
leave with you just one final
thought for remembrance: it is
upon you - the young, learned,
and open-minded - that the
entire world depends and hopes!
