47 W Helping handsa Graduation is not only a time For excitement but also a time for cooperation. These graduates help each other with that notorious graduation cap. 05 ' Wiixeaz fmoizbm q , n m The thrill of it all. The thrill and relief of finally graduating from col- lege is something experienced only once. Even injuries could not keep graduates from walking across the stage. Graduation is always a day of mixed emotions. After four long years of col- lege, it is now time to face and make decisions in the real world. On May 5, 1984, 875 ETSLI graduates walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. The anticipation and awe of the ceremony climaxed as diplomas were handed to the individual recipients and as they shook hands with Dr. Beller. After the ceremonies, family and friends gathered to share in the joy. Although graduation from college is always a miles- tone in life, a sad feeling seems to intrude on the joy- ful emotions. Thoughts of leaving the university, which has been home for an important part in ones life, create a feeling of void. One will now have to leave friends and move on to another phase of life. But then, that is what graduation is all about: upward mobil- ity. Hopefully, every graduate . can look back on their years at ETSLI as successful and full of fond memories. e Cathy Romaine A DAY OF MIXED EMOTIONS 19
