LTCA grads - jobs waiting

Students in the Long Term Care Aide
program at Lynnmour will be graduating on
December 19 from their four month program.
"We have had a successful semester," says
Coordinator Margot Rawsthorne. "Out of 27
students who were admitted to the program
in September, 25 will complete. And their
hard work has been worthwhile—seven of
the 25 have already been offered employment
before completion of the program!"

The Long Term Care program runs at Cap
each fall, and is also offered in the
spring at one of the college's three
campuses. This January it will be starting
in Squamish wehre two applications were
received for every seat available. Cap's
LTCA students have also had a good record
of job placement. "Long Term Care
facilities on the North Shore wait until
Capilano College students are ready to
graduate before hiring new staff," said
Rawsthorne.

"The Lawyer"

Advising advises advisors

Thirty-five counsellors and administrators
representing 25 high schools in the College
Region, Vancouver, Burnaby and Port
Coquitlam, were on campus on Monday, Dec.
8 to hear about the programs offered by
Capilano College. The emphasis of the
presentation this year was on students—
who is accepted, how many of them succeed,
and where they go when they finish here.
The Advising Centre invited reps from all
of the high schools who have sent a
significant number of students in the past
year. After the formal part of the
Counsellors' Conference in the morning,
the visitors were invited to drop in on
some of the different areas of the college
after lunch.

Students hold group show

"The Lawyer" by Frederick Sigler was one
of the small metal sculptures on display
in the lobby of B building on Friday
afternoon, December 12. Students from the
evening Extension class run by instructor
Jean-Guy Dallaire put together the display
to show some of the exquisite small-scale
works they produced during the eight week
course. "The Lawyer", for instance, is
only about six inches in height. The
originals of these works were made in wax,
and then cast in a low melting lead alloy

metal. According to Dellaire, the primary

purpose of the course was to teach "a
practical simple method for creating and
casting small metal sculptures inthe home,

using a new metal allow that will melt on
the stove." Dallaire is a self taught
artist-sculptor whose works have been
exhibited in New York, Alberta, and B.C.
