14 Years Ago... the third Cap graduation

JUNE 5, 1972

"Tuesday night was our 3rd annual
graduation. This year 31 students received
College diplomas or certificates. We also
awarded our first honourary diploma. Dean
Brooks who is retiring soon was the
surprised recipient of a College diploma
Honoris Causa. In a citation read by
Council Chairman Wallace, Dean Brooks was
lauded for his six years of outstanding
service to the College. The citation read
in part:

‘In 1966 Leslie Brooks helped create and
implement the vision of Capilano College
as Secretary of the North Shore Regional
College Coordinating Committee. From the
inception of Capilano College in 1968, to
the present, as Dean of Instruction, Leslie
Brooks exercised maximum responsibility in
the creation, staffing and program
implementation of wide-ranging programs of
instruction; sensitive and energetic in
determining educational needs, relentless
in the maintenance of high standards, he
won the highest degree of respect from all
members of the College community.'"

NEW FACES AT CAP

Among the six new full-time faculty
joining the college was David Jones, new
Advisor in Student Services. Listed under
"QId Faces Returning or Joining Full-Time
Ranks" were Crawford Kilian, Karl
Kobylansky, Greg Lees (Physics), Karen Lind,
and Brian White.

JONES JOINS UP

"Mr. David A. Jones has joined the College
as a faculty member and Advisor in the
Student Services Centre. Mr. Jones' major
area of responsibility and specialization
will be to administer the comprehensive
college testing program and to operate
specifically in the area of mental health
prablems that are referred to him from the
student body by faculty and students. Mr.
Jones brings a good background to this
position. He has an M.A. and a B.A. in
Psychology from the University of

Dalhousie. For the last four years he was
a psychologist for the North Shore Union
Board of Health and previous to that spent
nearly three years as a psychological
assistant with the North York Board of
Education in Downsview, Ontario."

SCHERMBRUCKER LEAVES

Described as "our founding faculty member,
and busy (ex) chairman of the College
Forum", Bill was entering into a one year
exchange with faculty members at Genesee
Community College in Batavia, New York.
"As far as we know this is the first formal
faculty exchange between a B.C. and a U.S.
community college. It was initiated by the
two college principals who met recently at
a convention. Bill's exchange replacement
is Nicholas Goergen who will join our
English faculty to teach English 200 and
Communications. Nicholas brings with him
his wife Laurie and two children. We wish
Bill all the best with his new life style
and surroundings in New York and will look
forward to welcoming him back into the new
Lynnmour facilities in August next year."

NEW CAMPUS TO BE BUILT

"The estimated date of completion of new
construction (on the College's Lynnmour
site) is now projected to April which means
that we definitely will not be moving to
Lynnmour in the Spring Term and that our
present portable units will not be moved
over there until May. Naturally it is hoped
and assumed that everything will be ready
for Fall term 1973. It is hoped that we
will begin work on the land sometime this
September."
