As Pomp and Circum- stance fades away. Dr. Par- rot prepares to give the invocation. Seniors wear smiles while walking to commencement exercises. California ' s SON-shine Education with a Christian Purpose acquired a deep mean- ing for those of us who had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Angelina Foster. Mrs Foster entered Olivet in a dual role as resi- dent director of Williams Hall and stu- dent in 1981. Although she pursued an educa- tion major, it was evi- dent she was already a teacher. She was a stu- dent who took great pride in her studies, listened attentively to professors and students, and, probably the key to her success, put forth 100% effort with God ' s help — the epitome of what a col- lege student should be. Her primary purpose here was serving God. This was obvious as she showed total dedica- tion to our Saviour, to Olivet, and to meeting the spiritual needs of the girls in Williams Hail and the students on campus. Many times throughout the years she expressed deep love and concern for the Foster Girls in Williams, including me, as she witnessed through discipline, conversation and exer- cise with us. I guess the thing I will remember most about Mrs. Foster, next to her unending love for God, is the love and joy she expressed for her new husband Dan. Many times she shared with me her insights and bits of wisdom concerning love and relationships. Dan is a fortunate man for having cap- tured her heart and taking her to the West Coast. I am sure she is missed by many here besides myself. Without question. Olivet ' s loss was California ' s gain. I ' m sure the SON-shine is brighter there with her presence. (S. Kuberski) Student Life 15

1984 ratitiation The strains of Pomp and Circumstance filled the mid-morning air on May 14, 1984, in the Mid-Campus Hsplanade. The day, enhanced with blue skies and eighty degree temperatures, could not have been more beautiful. Once again families and friends assembled to witness the honored graduates as they received their long awaited degrees. The air was a mixture of anticipation and excite- ment, yet a sort of melancholy hung still and silent in the minds of those who were already feeling the absence of graduating relatives and friends. Years of studying were coming to a final climax, and in a few short hours they would have the keys to their futures in their hands. Commencement started with a prayer of invocation followed by a Scripture reading and a song played by the Concert Band. Preceding the dispens- ing of degrees, the Honorable George Ryan, Lieutenant Governor, State of Il- linois, gave an inspira- tional address to the guests. Finally, the time had come for the a- warding of degrees and diplomas — and they were indeed awards — regarding the faces of the proud onlookers as well as the graduates themselves. After all had been received their degrees, the special awards and recogni- . . . the door of life is opened and there are goals yet to accomplish . tions were revealed, among them Bill Slat- tery and Joni Larson named Most Out- standing Seniors. The sea of black then stood to the familiar song To Alma Mater, Olivet. The final prayer was of- fered up and the senior class of Olivet Naz- arene College, 1984, was officially ready to face their worlds with proof of at least one ac- complished goal in their possession. The experiences that Olivet has given to the graduates will, no doubt, prove to be in- valuable. All the late nights and early classes will forever be mem- ories treasured as well as forgotten. The day of graduation was happy — for the door of life w as opened and there were goals yet to accomplish, dreams yet to dream and endless opportunities to seek and fulfill. However, graduation was also sad, for the camaraderie would never be the same and friends would be separated — perhaps to be reunited only at Olivet Home- comings. But they were ready to leave and to test their skills in life. Although they are gone. Olivet will always be with them, and a little bit of Burke, Benner, Larsen, Reed, and Wisner taken to every part of our world.
