n a day made for memories, clapping and cheers filled the air as Hilbert College’s graduating students accepted their Odegrees. Undaunted by the steady rain, new graduates, along with their family and friends, participated in the college’s 43rd commencement. More than 1,200 people came to see the Class of 2004 made up of a record 295 graduates. Traditionally held in the Hafner Recreation Cen- ter, this year’s commencement was moved right up the road to facilities at the Wesleyan Church of Hamburg. The off-campus venue was necessary to accommodate an ever-increasing crowd and reflects on other significant growth at the college, which marked a record-setting enrollment last fall. Calling on graduates to dis- cover their unique genius, commencement speaker Marc Smith ’72 emphasized that if this special skill is “impelled by passion and convic- tion, it will take you where you want Commencement address excerpts from Marc Smith ‘72. to go.” After graduating from Hilbert with an associate’s degree in lib- Photos Nancy by J.
