I believe a commendation for a job well done should be extended to those in charge of both. In the 50 years since my own eighth grade graduation I have attended many, but never any better, than these two. All the talks were short and to the point, well prepared and well presented. Class members who had performed in an outstanding manner were asked to stand and there were no long delays. The Middle School slide presentation of candid pictures from days at the end was an enjoyable treat, and at Manti High presentation of the graduschool individual attention at the portant time in their lives. president for development and college relations, by Janet Green-halgand to Ralph S. Black-hafor more than 40 years a In my school days I played in larger high school orchestra than the one at Manti but Ive not heard many small groups who are better. Much good music was added to the evening by their excellent performance. Congratulations for a job well those in charge of both ceremonies, the music, including orchestra, class and choirs, the decorations and the overall evening's programs.

It was a splendid message that brought a standing ovation from the approximate 2,000 people in attendance. Sanpete County had 94 graduates, followed by Salt Lake with 73. Forty-on- e graduates hail from Japan! Their tenacious persistence in learning English and earning an associate degree is remarkable. For Japanese stu- dents, an associate degree represents both learning the English language, plus completing the requirements for an associate degree. This years vice president for activities was an energetic and visionary Japanese student named Tomo Ishikawa. He, along with other student leaders, led by student body president, Andrea Hansen, have done a super job. The "Spirit of Snow was renewed as we completed a centennial year. The student senate produced a yearbook video which captures highlights of this year.

Evelyn Mom McNeill, spoke about the joy of service." Her message was extra powerful because of the marvelous life of service she exemplifies. Her creative illustrations reminded us that life is also to be enjoyed. She defined joy as the absence of regret. Without prior corre- lation, her message and Senator Gams were most comple- mentary and uplifting! Since one of Snows major goals is to teach students to leam to serve, the students and others witnessed four honorary degree recipients who have spent their lives in service to others: Ralph Blackham, Senator Jake Garn, Evelyn McNeill, and Robert Stoddard. All have strong Sanpete and central Utah roots andor connections. They each remind us that out of small things can come that which is great. Yes, in the faces of these graduates we could see confidence and satisfaction as they move forward to work, pursue additional education and other challenges. I am even more convinced than ever that this special College provides a remarkably fine launching for its students. They leave with a better understanding of their own potential, and better seltf confidence to achieve in this challenging world. Some who come single, even leave with a spouse, and they may be our most enthusiastic graduates. Regardless of marital status, geographic or ethnic background, I salute all of these wonderful graduates. We have every confidence they will find joy in their quest to achieve and serve others. A laureate services last Friday night in the Activity Center. Mrs. McNeill, mother of 10 and a foster mother of numerous students as a volunteer in the colleges developmental reading and math programs, spoke on the joys of service. One of the principal joys she has experienced, Mrs. McNeill said, has come in her association with young people.
