Providence; and the governor of Rhode Island, Ed­ ward DiPrete, were present at the ceremony. Mayor Paolino told the graduates that " the tests they have been taking on a weekly basis will now be on a daily basis." President o f the Alumni Association, Robert P. Mathieu ' 50, addressed the students briefly. "Your ties do not end but become stronger," he told the graduates. Mathieu had all of the graduates with relatives who had attended PC stand up. Loud applause erupted as many students stood up. The very Reverend Thomas R. Peterson, Presi­ dent of Providence College, seemed quite elated at his last commencement as President. His remarks were mostly humorous. A scholarship in honor of Fr. Peterson is being established by the class o f 1985. The scholarship will begin in 1990. The first year, it will range from $300 to $500. The amount of the scholarship will increase over the years. The criteria for the scholarship is currently be­ ing debated. It could include that the recipient be relative of a member of the class of 1985. There were two valedictorians. Both graduated with a 4.0, and both were from Warren, R.I. Michael W.

Get Involved, Study Have Fun... Being a freshmen at college is the beginning o f a whole new experience for most of you. Leaving home, learning how to be responsible for the first time, becoming independent, and most of all concentrating on becoming an active member of the Class of 1989 is of vital importance to your college ex­ perience. A majority of students here do not become actively involved and miss out on meeting a dedicated group of students who spend their 'spare' time participating in extra-curricular activities. Being a member of stu dent Congress, intramural sports, the newspaper, the yearbook, or any other club requires time and energy. In the beginning of the school year there is a club fair introducing all Providence College has to offer. Attend the fair and choose a club you would like to be a part of for the school year. When you do this, remember to attend all the meetings of the club, act interested, assert yourself and you will become an important member. Obtaining a reputation for being concerned for the welfare of the organization be it Raquetball or Parish Council is the only way to be recognized. Yes, you will be recognized-- but only if you wish to be. While deciding on how to become involved outside of academics, do not forget about school work. School is a discipline all must experience if a person wants to enter the working world one day. Two years of Western Civilization, 6 credits of social science, 6 credits of Religion and Philosophy... when will the list of requirements end? Remember it is important to know something about religion, art, literature, math, and other sub­ jects. Somehow t he world we live in today (and you will find out) is shaped by the thoughts of famous scientists and philosophers and writers, etc. Learning about them increases your mind’s capacity to learn even more by disciplining it to narrow in on specific subjects, theories and ideas. Remember, when entering your new dorm in September, thinking this is the end of the world and nothing could be worse, you will survive. Your roommate is not so bad after all, and the workload is not great (if you keep up your studies), there are things to do and places to go, find them, meet peo­ ple and above all become involved with the college, your home for the next four years.
