Dedication

PER GRADUS AD MAIUS BY STEPS TO THE GREATER To all o f you who arc taking those steps, we respectfull y dedicate this book. Good luck and success to you. President's Message

Dr. H. Anderson

Since our move to the new ca mpus, we have been coming to terms with changing methods and procedures of operation for the College because of increases in size, and the requirements of the new physical plant. There are, however, some important ''old ways'' which we do not want to be changed from the earlier days of the College. We ,. want to maintain the focus on students as individuals, and to provide attention to the individual and personal side of student and college life. A yearbook presents a kaleidoscope of images of activities and persons, and captures some impressions of College life. I trust that the pictures and captions in chis student publication will bring recollections of events and of persons who were significant to you, and recall a year which was important and useful. Dr. Anderson is on ,1 sabbatical leave for the second semester of the 197 5 - 76 term. He is attending Stanford University, in Palo Alto, California. His studies involve admin­ istration and policy analysis, and the social/psychological aspects of organizational behavior. Student President's Message

Craig Bowling

As a newcomer to Grande Prairie and a relative newcomer to education, I have been unsure and awed. Thanks to the many good people in our College, I have been able to adjust to the new experiences. How­ ever, I still am in awe after seeing the workings o f o ur institutio n over a full school year. Grande Prairie Regional College is a "people" institutio n, where individuals indirectly and directly affect the lives of every member of the College community. The beauty of our institution is that each and every one of us has had a deciding factor in the running of the College if he or she so desired. A small College permits the potential for an individual co voice his or her own opinion. Herc, all faces arc familiar and there arc few barriers if any to communication between student, staff and administration. These arc important assets in an age where almost all mankind relics on machines of one form or another co sustain their livelihood. We live in the age of the machine, where society has provided us with mechanical gadgets ranging from complicated engines to television; society has also supplied organized institutions, such as our educational system. From the first d.1ys of our lives we have been subjected to, and feel into m,1chines. As individuals our wills have been transferred to the will of the group vote. It is no longer what is good for me as a person but what is good for the masses as a whole. I as an individual, find myself in a circle of ever-increasing reliance o n organized groups to preserve and promote my well-being. This ever-increasing power transferred to the organized group from the individual is what many people find when they come to a larger institutio n, and it can not be overcome It JUSt gets worse. Your voice could be heard in our College, but at the larger institutions it will not be heard. This ever-increasing reliance upon organized politics can be likened to an avoiding of responsibility by individuals: the institution assumes the responsibility for our actions. We can overcome this o nl y by assuming and accepting the fact that we. each and everyone of us, is totally and one hundred percent re• sponsiblc for everything chat we do. T o ,1ccept t his responsibility is co remove the power of the control­ ling factors. If we arc responsible for our actions we ca n slowly but surely reclaim our freedom of cho ice from the ruling organizations. We do not need external governmen t to rule our lives. Our lives arc limited in time and belong only to those who possess the will to carry them out co their fullest degree. It is in the end a decision that muse be made by each and everyone of us: what or who is the controlling factor in my life, the welfare of the state or the will of a man. We h.ive learned here the freedom of choi~e and the satisfaction of dedication co o ur ideals. Ler us not lose chis itbility to persevere in our choice, even in the fact of the mechanized world that surround us. Love is the law, love under will. Board of Governors

Student Council 1975- 76

The Students' Associ.1tion of 1975 - 76 consisted of some fa irl y dedicated and hard-working students people who gave of t heir time to try and make this school year an interesting memory for all. O ne o f the greatest accompli shments was a spot of lega l work, attempted in years before but never completed. A great de.ii of work was pu t in by both our Treasurer and our President to have a lease drawn up between the Students' Assoei;1tio n and t he Hoard of Governors. Altho ugh simple word-of-mouth has been sufficient in the past, ;i growing College community has made it a necessity to have a written agreement and leasr with the College officials. Due to the increasing cost of providing diversio n for students, the Social Commit­ tee fund was raised from S 1,000.00 to 1,500.00 per yea r. Conferences attended thro ughout the year by delegates from the student body were to the ACCC in the fa ll , and two FAS conferences, one in the fall ,111d o ne in the spring. Naturall y, in the limited space .ivailable in this actio n-packed book, we could no t possibly go into a full-scale report on the Students' Associ.1tio n o f 1975 - 76. However, perhaps eno ugh has been said to trigger a few more memories in your o wn minds. Your Student Council would li ke to take this o pportunity to thank all of those who .iid ed us in making this past year o ne wo rth remembering. (Thanks to Gladys Pool. for this write-up .ind for muc h o ther work o n the book and its composition.)

The Grande Prairie Booster describes Dr. Frank KoLar as resembling Clark Kent, gentle in nature, with an abil­ ity to put people at case, an ever-present pipe, and sporting a crisp, military mustache. This kinetic Chair­ man of the University Transfer Division of the Col- lege is that and more. On his desk one can find confirmation of grants from two prestigiou. sources the Bore:d Institute for Northern Studies and from the National Research Coun- cil for the pursuit of research studies in two areas of cytogenetics. The Boreal Institute grant is a rarity, for it has been repeated. Not often does the Institute grant additional support for projects, but Dr. Kozar's work in this area has been outstanding. )

Stanley Burke Visits College

·'The Third World" was the major subject under discussion when Stanley Burke. author, journalist and broadcaster visited the College on October 30 as part of the Alberta World Reflections Programme. Talking to a packed lecture theatre, Burke sketched his impressio ns of the benefits of a closer associ.ttion between Canada, more specifically Alberta, and the countries of the "Third World." Burke maintained that Albertans could learn a great deal from people of different cultural backgrounds. ·'We are, as a people," he said. ·'too self-centered.'' Respondi ng to a question from a member of the audience co the effect that there were people in Canada who still had little or no real know ledge of parts of their own country, Burke replied that it was not the~e people with who rn the pn,gramme was concerned. As regards cultural exch,rnge visits, o nly those with .1n adequate knowledge of their own country could expect to be included, in order to pass on this knowledge. On his career as a journalist, Burke reflected: ''It is the primary concern of the media to sell disaster. When they can"t find one, they invent one." Perhaps a harsh comment from o ne of Canada's foremost media men. Burke concluded that one of the main points that people in the so-called ·'developed" countries could learn from those of the ·'Third World"' was the ability to remain content in the face of adversity. This, he felt, was one of the most striking things that he had noticed during his career.

.. ___., Conferences

The ACCC was instituted in November of 1970 at a National Congress o n the Community Colleges in Ottawa by 300 delegates representing more than seven ty Pose-Secondary Non-Degree institutions from our ten provinces. The ACCC's objectives were set up as follows: to sec up ·'Learning House" services for the Colleges of Canada; to provide liaison between and among the Colleges and with ocher related Institutions, Associatio ns. and Organizatio ns; to initiate research for the Colleges of Canada. ACCC is a no n-profit, voluntary, national association of institutiom, organizations and individuals in­ terested in the growth, development and potential of the Community Colleges of Can.ada. The annual 1975 ACCC Convention was held at the Vancouver Hotel on November 10 12. It included both the Mini-Con ference, which pertained mainl y to Student .affairs, and a much larger National Conven­ tio n, which dealt primarily with Faculty and Administration. It was felt that the Conventio n was no t as beneficial for our College as it could have been. It was ,1 grc,.at experience for the individual person ,mending, but there seemed to be li ttle or no justification for our Col­ lege to send any Student Delgatcs next year. Hopefully though, the ACCC will, in future years, apply some of its forums and discussio ns to the Student. so that they may also reap benefits from this org,aniz.ation. The Federatio n of Alberta Students is a newly-formed student associatio n in the province. Its main ob­ jective is to act as a strong go-between for the provincial government and the interests of the individual stu­ dents enroll ed in post-secondary institutions across the province. The Federation held its first bi-a nnual Convent ion on October 24 • 26, 1975, at Mount Royal College in Calgary. The seven topics under discussion were: transferability, student housing, student financing, student day • care centers, the Adult Education Act, the 11 ceiling imposed on spending, and a Fine Arts brief. Bev Rogers, Public Relations Vice-President of the College, attended the Conference. She said that, ·•1t was there that I really learned what educatio n is all about ... the Convention was a success, ,and I think that all of the delegates went back to their respective institutions more aware of o ur educ:ition sy~tem. and grateful for the progress made by FAS.''

In books lies the soul of the who le Past Time: the articul.1te audible voice of the Past, when the body I and material substance o f it has altogether vanished like a dream. Thomas Carlyle in "The Hero as a Man of Letters" Thomas Carlyle expressed very well what I and the rest of the Yearbook staff h.1ve cried to achieve in this volume. We have taken the resources available co us pictures, write-ups, artwork, writings, people and tried to combine them in a meaningful way. We hope t hat the end product o f this work will help those who were at the College for this t ime to remember the events that cook place. Due to a non-completio n of last year's book, we have included as much of the materials originally in­ tended for publicatio n in 1974 - 75. But it canno t be by any means a complete account, as a majority of last year's materials disappeared in the interval between last spring and fall. We have included all the pic­ tures and write-ups possible though. This year, we have tried to cover as many of the year's highlights as possible, and to present them in some type o f sequence. One major problem faced, as usual for alm ost anything, was .1 shortage of reliable help in productio n. People like Verda, Russ, and Beth are an excellent core group, but numbers as well as quality of workers is what is really needed. Some problems were experienced with photography this year, the main one being the lack of a full-time Yearbook photographer (s). Acknowledgement goes to Duane and Les, for their work in the first semester, Darrell, for doing a large percentage o f the "mug" shots, and T om, for helping us out with the skiing sectio n this year. In some cases, due to mixups, misunderstandings or what-have-you, we were not able to have pictures taken of some events, and therefore have used photos supplied by the local HERALD - TRIBUNE. Putting together this Yearbook was an experience, what kind I'm not sure yet, but an experience. My li fe would have been a lot less hectic if I had not taken the j ob on, but then we might not have had a Yearbook at all, a nd most people seemed to want one, so ... Thanks again to everyone that helped our in any capacity with the boo k, people like Bob Guest. who did the divisio n pages, Dal, Elfie, Mary, Sharon. Kris and Debbie. It is our impression of o ur rime at the College. We hope it is enjoyable and has some meaning for you, now and in the years to come. I cJ The College Players' production o f MARY, MARY created something of a record in Grande Prairie. The play, which was scheduled for January 22 - 24, 1976 was sold out before opening night. So the producer was persuaded to hold the play over. It was played again to near-full houses on the 30 - 31 of J anuary. MARY, MARY is a witty comedy by Kerr. lt was a great success o n Broadway. The play offered the audience a warm and witty examinatio n of a modern marriage gone hilariously awry. The case, as usual, consisted of a blend of College and community people: Robert Hcuermann, Gerry McMillan, Kathy Harper, Bill Shepherd, and Angie Heimd,dl. The production crew was almost entirely the students of the Orama 130 class. Director Sukurnar Nayer, whose previous plays for the College Players have been ·'heavies" like HEDDA GABLE, THE VISIT, and THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN, re­ quired a lot of coaxing before he undertook a comedy and those who were involved one way or another ,ire grate­ ful that he did. One hopes that he will continue co direct fun-filled plays in the future. Sukumar had hoped that the ,innual production of the College Players would be an extravaganza o n the new stage in the College Auditorium. It seems that the event will have co wait for awhile. The College Players also entered the Adult Orama Festi­ val with Chekov's THE SAFETY MATCH. The Festival had nine plays, and t he adjudicator was Walter Kassa. Once again, the Cast had students and community players, in various ro les. Thanks goes co the Herald-Tribune for the pictures on chis page. Kidnappings

Two kidnappings Jnd four arrests in Grande Prairie February 14 resulted in ,1 total of $400 being do nated to the Pc.ice School of Hope. The first incident occured shortly after I p.m. when 5 Composite High School stude nts, calling themselves the Grande Prairie chapter of the J ewish Defense League U DL). went to the Re­ gio nal College ,ind abducted Muriel Collins, Chairman of t he Bo,1rd of Governors there. The J DL demanded a ransom of I 00 be paid by the College to the Peace School of Hope for her safe return. A spokesman for the group said, ·'We want a rivalry between the Comp and the College." And a rivalry t hey soon got. when I 2 College students the Saint Valentine's Delayed Reaction Committee (SVDRC) invaded the Composite about 3 p.m. Ten men and two wo men of the SVDRC forced school principal Len Luders out of his office .rnd into a waiting car which cook him to the College. SVDRC, using the radio sta• tio n as an intermediary, also demanded ,1 I 00 ransom for the Peace School of Hope, after having demands for an apo logy from the High School students flatly refused. It w,1s finally decided to h,1vc ,111 e;,.change of prisoners and promissory notes for the ~ I 00 ran• soms at t he Avondale Church of Christ, IO I 06 · 11 2 Avenue. and it was peacefully negotiated. Shortly after the exclunge was made RCMP officers arrived at the scene ,ind ''arrested" two ringleaders from the J DL, Norm Driver and J ohn H,1rdenbrooL The law ,md the ringleaders then proceeded to t he College where 2 m embers of the SVDRC, Ralph Sliger and Uwe Paul, were taken into custody. With leaders from both sides incar cerated at the police st,1tion, a police officer contacted the radio station saying they would be released upon p,1yment of 50 bail each. T hese funds would also be forwarded to the Peace School of Hope. By 8 p.m. enough mo ney had been raised for the release of only o ne person.

1976 Ski Tearn

The a lpine ski team started the year with a new pl.ice overall in the men's ,ind M.inh.1 W.idc second for coach, Donna Chinchen. Donna's experience with rac­ the women. ing in U.S. National meets gave promise o f an opportu­ Next year? More skiing, more work, more fu n ,ind nity to really improve our racing skills. We started a more ,uccess. dry land training program in late November to get into top condition for the ski season. ·'Puff, pant, groan!" There were a few problems. The lack of snow and cold weat her made local skiing impossib le through January. As well, we had no cooperation from the local ski club. After we all bought tow tickets or 75.00 sea­ son passes, they would not allow us to run gates o n the hill without paying extra rates. We know of no other skiers in Canada that have to pay extra to train. Despite no snow and li ttle practice, we managed to race very successfully. In conjunctio n with the newly­ formed Peace Regio n Alpine Ski Club, all ou~ racers were sanctio ned and started o ut at the ·'D" level. Barry Pardcll and Donna Chinchcn managed to move up to "C" by skiing fantastica lly at Rabbit Hill. We all entered the Alberta Winter Games qualifying races and Dave, Donna, J oan and Martha earned a free trip to Banff to compete. The season ended with a dual ACAC meet against SAIT at Mount Norquay. The meet was lots of fun and good hard skiing. T o m O'Sullivan earned second

This year a d ifferent type of event occurred at the College. The Arc 231 Design class was given the u nique opportunity co design a cover for the 1976 - 1977 College Calendar. The idea was to cake some aspect of the Peace River area and simplify it into a cut-out format co project an image that would be a suitable design. Only two colors were co be used, along with black or white. Top quality works were submitted 14 in all. The designs were displayed during College Weekend, where the public had a chance to view them and vote on the one they preferred. T he judging was a task none were too fond of, because of the top-notch quality of work done, so it was decided co leave it to three individuals: Mr. Don McGowan, Presi­ dent of the College, Mr. Don Harper, Registrar and Director of Student Services, and Mr. Robert Guest, Art Staff Instructor. It was Joyce Whiclic who took home t he 25.00 prize and the winning design. Hers featured various images of the College activities surrounding a map of Alberta on the front cover (done in brown on a yellow background and a wild rose on the back (portrayed in the same colors). T he images depicted Fine Arts, Physical Education, Performing Arts, Science and Industrial Education symbols. The public's decision was a little different. The most popular design was Russell Snoble's, capturing twice as many votes as any other. A group consisting of Jim Grotkowski, J anice Olson, Irma Tshaja and Joyce Whitlie were the next favored choice, and very deservedly so. Congratulatio ns to all chose who entered, as the submissions were all very well done. College Nordic Wolves

Candids Car Rally

College students literally hit the road a lot during the year as participants in the several slalo ms and car rallies sponsored by the Grande Prairie Mo tor Club. The "cro wn j ewel" event was the annual Cabin Fever Rall ye held o n March 7, 1976, a 150-mile event t hat complimen ted the successful College Weekend. Ian Smith and his navigator did very well in this event. But the event t hat sparked the most participation was the first annual Chasse Du Loup No rdique Rally in September that kicked off the year. The Car Rall ye went off fine with ten entries, and the following results: First overall - Terry Ko nrad and Gerry Eherer with 38 penalty po ints (won Mi xed class); Second overall - Charle ne Finaly and Pam Smith with 39 penalty points (won Wo men's class); Third - Darrel Radbourne and Janet Baillie with 59 points; Fourth - Wayne Davis a nd Tim Sebastian with 70 po ints (wo n Men's class); Fifth - Preston and Kikki Brownschlaigle with 98 points; Sixth - Robert Westover and Murray Nyffler with 11 5 points; Seventh - Darcy Rautenstrauch and Sharon Glenn with 181 points; Eighth - Verda Heidebrecht and Sharon Brower with 239 points; Ninth - Bruce Perry and Do ug Carter with 282 points; Tenth - Jamey Ellingboe and Rob Parsons who Did Not Finish. In February the GearJammer Auto Slalom in the College parking lot attracted a lot of studen t entries and altho ugh no o ne injured his car, there was a lot of off-route sliding in the snow and gravel. It was an unqualified success, with all the best drivers of the College students, facu lty and staff coming o ut to test their skills on a demanding course. There were three classes: under 100 inches wheelbase, over 100 inches and The Big Ones. Respectively, Class I Top three were: A.J. Eilers in a T oyota Pickup in 2:01 minutes; Cheryl Galatiuk in a Datsun pickup in 2:07; a nd Phillip Hills in a Ford Courier in 2:09. Class II was taken by Pete Vogan in his hot Audi in 1 :78 minutes with Doug McCracken in his Mustang a close second with l :87. Terry Shewchuk came t hi rd with 1 :93 in his Vo lvo statio nwagon. Class Ill was won by Richard Briere in a Dodge Charger in I :95 minutes: Rob Sweigard took his Fargo Half-ton to second in 2:05 minutes and Ro n Schartner came third in his Firebird in 2:32. Overall, Pete Vogan was on top with 1 :78, then: Doug McCracken, I :87; Jim Letursky, 1 :91 ; Terry Shewchuk, I :93; Rick Briere, l :95; Vic Ford, 1 :96; A. J. Eilers, 2:01; Rob Sweigard, 2:05; Cheryl Galatiuk, 2:07; Phillip Hills, 2:09; Stu McG regor, 2:12; Ian Smith, 2:25; Ron Schartner, 2:32, and Rick Adair, with 2:54. Rick took only one run, though, the first of the day o n an icy course and came third overall and fi rst in his class o n that first run. However, everyone pulled up their socks o n the second fun and left him behind. Tough tarpaper, Rick! But the students appreciated your having to go to a Board of Governors' meeting. If o ne had to pick a driver of the year it would have to be Doug McCracken from Fort St. John in his Mustang. Doug ad­ mittedly had a big drawback in choice of veh icle but he managed to overcome it with driving skill and aggressiveness. Lounges Faculty

t l Tapestry

Tapestrv staff members (for the initial meetings): Editor - Charlene Santa, Assistant Editor - Roy Williams, Treasurer/Advertising · Roger Ungstad, Photography/ Sports - Dave Rowe. General Staff - Roy Ripkim. Di,rnc Rowson, Donn.1 Clare, Doug Carter. The Tapestry was ra ised frolll obscurity (we hope) by the Editor, Charlene Santa. She had worked on the o ne issue which was produced in 1974, and was cl1e most experienced member of the group who sc,irred out on chis bold venture. The first meeting held to formu late che idea of the newspaper was late in October (or there,1boucs) and the initial group was quite a few members larger than that which eventually formed the nucleus. In face. the Tapestry came very, very close to fo lding down completely without producing,, single issue this rear. until Roy Williams took over the job of preparing the paper for publication. and got a single, but commend.,ble issue out just in time for the College Weekend Open House. le is the hope that the efforts of Roy and those who helped him will not go unappreciated. In addition to putting out an edition of the College newspaper, Roy is to be noted for ,It least one other ,1cco1nplish111cnt. He is an exchange student sponsored by the Rotary Club, who is spending a year here, and will be returning to his native England later this spring.

Grande Prairie Mayor Jim May receives the plaque of the town of Newport, England, from Rotary Club exchange student Roy Williams. Mr. Williams has been in the city since August 25, and is a first-year arts student at the College. Newport, with a population of about 16,000, is 60 miles sou ch of Liverpool and 32 miles from the Welsh border. Photo credit - Jeff Harris, of the H ERALD­ TRIBUN E.

,.. .. , Now I lay me down to sleep, With my homework in a heap.

If I should die before I wake, I have but six requests to make.

Lay my Sociology books at my feet, Tell Bibi Laurie it had me beat.

Lay my Shorthand books by my head, Tell Sister Irene of the tears I've shed.

Lay my Filing books at my side, Tell Mrs. Thomas how hard I tried.

Lay my English books at the other side, Tell Sister Irene that's why I died.

Lay my Typing books close at hand, Tell Mr. Loughhecd I've had all I can stand.

Throw my Accounting books under the bed, Tell Sister Doris I'm glad I'm dead.
