r. Therese, Members of the Fac- ulty and Administration, Fam- ily, Friends, and Members of the Class of 1988; We are in a time in our soci- ety when people live for tomorrow or live in the past; not realizing what is happening now. We are here today to commemorate the now, in a celebration of our Academic acheivements thus far. For sixty years, Regis College has been conferring the Caps and Gowns as a sym- bol of the Academic accomplishments of the members of the senior class. This cere- mony is a time for us to reflect on our years at Regis and acknowledge our educational endeavors of the present. This day is a milestone characterizing our intellectu- al progress as women of the eighties. It is my hope that in the next eight months we do not become overly concerned with the tommorow or lost in the past. There is value in the past, for it has brought us to where we are now. There is value in the future, but it lives only in our dreams. Let us realize the importance of the present. Let each day challenge our minds to transform us into the wom- en we aspire to be. Herbert Otto, a noted psychologist once said Change and growth take place when a woman has risked herself and dares to become involved with the experiencing of her own life. In celebrating our academic accomplishments thus far, we must remember it is just a step in fulfilling the greater goal which awaits us in May . . . Cap And Gown

REGIS CELEBRATES nan appy Birthday Regis! Today 1 1 you turned sixty and the Class of 1988 was honored in being able to help you celebrate this special occasion. After our Cap and Gown Ceremony we threw a party for you. Even though the weather didn ' t cooperate with our plans to hold the celebration out of doors, the festivities were simply moved to the Lower Student Union. To entertain your guests there were folk dancers, a dixieland band, and any kind of food the partygoers could wish for, from German knockwurst to Chinese eggrolls. The highlight of the day was seeing and meeting some of the members of the pioneer class of 1931, those cou- rageous women, who along with the Sisters of St. Joseph, helped to make Regis such a special place for us. ...
