Kevin Moss, graduate, sang Oh Danny Boy. College President Dr. Thomas Saffel introduced the speaker, Ernest Garcia. Garcia was a native of Garden City who spent the previous 15 years in public service, including defense posts, White House assignments and Sergeant-at- Arms of the U.S. Senate. According to Saffel, he is a local boy who made good. In high school he was a fair coun- try basketball player and one of the nicest students I ever worked with. The only time I had him in my office, it was to talk of positive matters, Saf- fel said. Saffel was the principal at Garden City High School when Garcia was a student there. Garcia urged the graduates to devote at least one block of their lives to government service. Too many of our ablest citizens draw back, evidently fearful of being sullied in the broiling activity of partisan af- fairs, Garcia said. This has to change. We need intelligent, creative, steady political leadership as at no time before in our history. There must be more talent in government, he ex- plained. Student Government Association President Todd Taylor gave the student response. I got a lot for a little, he said. My memories and friends and the self-respect I gained by just making it are what I received here. All of us have a lot of people to thank for what we got here. I did it!-Deanrie Spanier, holding her son Adam, reveals her excitement at receiving her cosmetology cer- tificate. X 1 5 .13 V Q
