INVOLVEMENT TODAY - MAKES IT COME TOGETHER TOMORROW SUBJ EC T: Open Letter TO: All Concerned Most societies are made up of two groups, those who SIT and LET things happen and those who get INVOLVED and MAKE things happen, We at TEC are fortunate that most people who come to TEC are those who get involved. We are fortunate that our students represent all facets of our societyg they range from the wrinkled-brow grey-heads to the long-haired ones with downy-cheeks. The interchange of experience and ideas is a pleasure to see. We may not agree with the thought process needed to generate these ideas. At the same time we know that our students do not agree with all of our ideas, but we hope that they can benefit by our past successes and do not repeatour failures. Our students are people, people who know there is a time for preparation and a time for application. Most ofthem are experiencing an overlap ofthese times since most of our people are not only full-time students but are also at least part-time workers. Eventhough, they are preparing to become involved in the areas of business, industry, and service, they still find time to become involved in various social, religious, and humanitarian activities. From the first day of enrollment to the day of graduation, we have had the privilege of watching them getting involved and getting it all together in their various courses of study. We have seen them enter a program, follow it through to completion, and graduateg some entered one program then changed curriculums and graduated, and some, unfortunately, were not able to complete their courses of study. However, we watched while all learned and grew in emotional and intellectual stature. Try as we may, we can only fall back on the time-worn lrackneyed phrases to express our innermost thoughts, to the graduates - Well done, to the remainder - Good Show.
