Although this may be a sad oc- casion as we end one era in our lives, it is also a time to celebrate our accomplishments. That is just what the graduating class of 1986 did the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd. On May 2nd, a wine and cheese party was held on cam pus in honor of the graduates This event offered ample oppor tunity for students, parents, fac ulty and administration to inter act in a casual environment. A A toast to the class of 1986! wonderful time was had by all. Saturday, May 3rd, offered a more formal get together as a dinner dance was held at the Hil- ton Ball Room. Everyone dressed in their finest to enjoy an evening of dance. This was their last chance to see everyone before the official graduation which took place on Sunday. All in all, the weekend of graduation was a huge success. Gannon President, Dr. Joseph Scottino was on hand at all the senior functions to meet with parents and get to know the class of 1986 a little better. And these are the people without whom none of this would be possible 26
