Students Speak on graduation
The peninsula College graduates will be going in many different directions after graduation for the most part.
Many of them will be going on to different colleges and some to jobs.
The buccaneer staff asked some graduating students what their thoughts are about the future, and about their stay at PC.
Hilary Garett – AA – I plan to travel abroad to further my education. Im impressed with the faculty here at PC although I wish for more student activities.
Blaise Kaminski – AAS – I will be working and living in the Seattle area as an electronic technician, and hope to continue schooling. PC has a nice atmosphere and a pleasant surrounding and I will miss the people.
Jeff Robb – AAS – I am planning to go to work for a gold mining firm in California. My thought of PC at the present time is that I wish it was a Four-Year school.
Rosie Watne – AAS – Secretarial – Im going to rejoice and get a job. I would like to be a receptionist for a local company. I think PC is great. I espescially like the student/teacher ratio. I also like the teachers’ interest in the students. PC has been good to me.
Lori Johnson – AA – Midmanagement – Im undecided right now (what to do after graduation). I would like to work for a department store like JC penney’s where I can work up to management. Someday, I would like to own a boutique. I enjoyed going to school here. I espescially liked the teachers. I think that PC has a good intramural program. I am glad it is over though.
Teresa Henry – AAS – Midmanagement- I would like to get a job.But I have no prospects. I would like work in a store where I can work up through the ranks to management. PC has a great comradeship.
I transferred up from Tacoma Community College and I like it here at PC a lot better. I think it is a great college and ive learned that they really care about us.

Blaise Kaminski gets fitted for graduation
PC Talent Show
Peninsula College’s annual talent show this Friday June 10 will be far more than a talent show, accoring to its director, Bonnie Graves.
Her theater class always does develop a theme for its members to use in interlides and introductions between the acts. One Year it was a health spa; another it was a western saloon and another, a hospital.
This year the class chose a heavier subject, nothing less than the future of mankind. Using a script they wrote based around the suggestion of one class member, Phil Bunch, the talent show also choreographed gang warfare in the style of “West Side Story,” but using the music from ” Fame” Titled ” One Last Night?!” The original production puts mankind on trial after a message from a superior authority has served notice that all the competition and conflict makes it apparent that people have botched their reason for existance.
To add further drama to this already dramatic theme, the show will be staged on the Port Angeles City Pier for the first time this year.
” It should really be effective, especially with the audience looking out at the sky and the water.” Director Graves noted. ” Its like having nature in the cast too. ”
She said the audience will be pulled into the drama even further when they are asked to serve as the jury deciding whether mankind’s existance should continue. One member of the class and cast, Alan Soderquist, has the role of arguing that people have used up their chances to get along with eachother and with their natural resources. Bunch is cast as a sort of defense Attorny for mankind. Former Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney Craig Ritchie spent one session with the class, helping them develop the opposing arguments and style for presenting them to the jury.
Enthusiastic as she is about the drama of the dialogue, choreography and natural setting, the director is almost unwilling to think about the natural elements becoming too dramatic by trying to come on stage with too much wind or even rain– a word she even hesitates to use these days. But if that should happen, she has made arrangements to move the entire show back to its traditional location in the College Little Theatre.
The director said she wanted the show to be on the pier this year for several reasons.
” I think we ought to have dramatic theaterical productions on the pier” she noted. ” I work at U.S. Customs in the summer and talk to many tourists who wonder what they can do in the area around the ferry dock. ”
Bringing theatre wherever people are also is a special interest. Members of the class have produced street theater several times in the recent years. Often they have appeared in whiteface as mimes. This year a duo staged ” man on the street” interviews as is for a television show as a way of promoting ” One Last Night?!”
Mr. Graves attended a conference on outdoor theatrical productions and has been studying theater on the street and in storefront settings in summer graduate degrees studies in London through New York University.
” Drama is more than just learning lines to a play, ” she noted. ” This has been a real learning experience because students were able to write the script and also choose how to use this special setting to help them make the statement they wanted.”
Another advantage to staging the talent show at the pier, Graves said, is space. Often people have to be turned away because the audience outnumbers seating capacity in the Little Theatre. Since no admission will be charged this year, she expects an even larger crowd.
Planning an outdoor production does have its problems, but the director is convinced its well worth the trouble.
” Its a problem to get the class down to the pier to practice and we cant set up the sound equiptment until practically the last minute. And, then there are the concerns about the weather.”
The plastic curtain used by the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra for its Labor Day concert on the pier was made available. City Maintenance personnel helped with pier equiptment. College audio- visual staff is organizing the sound equiptment.
Although Graves’ class has made the talent show far more than a traditional talent show, that aspect will be important too, she emphasized.
Acts signed up include Carolyn Doonan and Co. With a song and dance routine; Lisa Gort, Baton twirling; Barbara Hoyman, Vocal duet; Angie Phillips, dance; Phil Bunch, Vocal solo; and Debbie Fortner, dance.
Talent acts will be presented by the opposing gangs as part of their effort to outdo eachother. In the ” One Last Night?!” cast and stage crew along with Bunch and Soderquist are Alvestads, Ms.Phillips, Ms. Doonan, Ms. Quick, Rick Decker, John Pollard, Wendy Rudder and Paula Kinzie.
The production will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the pier or in the Little Theatre should the uninvited cast members bring rain or too much wind that night.
Intramurals
Four Peninsula College students were honored for their contributations to the intramurals and recreation programs Friday.
Mike Shirley and Stephanie Nellis were named Intramural Athletes of the Year. Karen Irvine and Rob Reller were chosen for Sportsmanship Awards. All the selections were made by the all-student intramural Board from nominations opened to the entire college student body. Awards were presented during a thirdinning stretch at an intramural softball game.
According to Tina Smith O’Hara, Coordinator of the intramurals and recreation programs, Mike Shirley and Stephanie Nellis both demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship and leadership qualities as well as athletic ability.
Shirley participated in coed colleyball, men’s basketball, doubles volleyball and volleyball, serving as captain for each of his intramural teams.
Nellis’ intramural activities have been coed volleyball, doubles volleyball,coed softball, and tennis. She also played on the college’s recreation program, which was established to intercollegiate athletics.
” These awards honor recreation program participants who have demonstrated superior sportsmanship and are considered an asset to the program,” Smith O’Hara explained.
” Karen;s enthusiasm and athletic ability made her welcome on coed soccer, doubles volleyball and volleyball as well as other recreation activities.” the coordinator noted, ” Reller displayed his athletic diversity by competing in volleyball, doubles volleyball, badminton and soccer. “
Teaser to tease PC
Teaser, A six- piece band from Port Angeles is the band chosen to perform as the main act for the last ASC sponsored dance of the 1982-83 School year, June 10.
Teaser has been recieving a lot of publicity lately. While playing at many local clubs they were picked to be the spotlight band of the month by Music Man Entertainment.
They are also planning on participating in the Derby Days Battle of the Bands competition Sunday July 24 at Masonic Temple in Port Angeles.
Teaser plays other artists’ material but they interpret the music to match their particular talents which gives it much “danceability” because it’s good time rock’n’roll.
The band dates back nine years to the meeting of lead guitar player Brian MacDonald and keyboard player BoOssenger. The two lead guitar players. MacDonald and Dave VanCleve, are friends of over 10 years, but both went seperate ways and werent reunited until six months aho when VanCleve joined MacDonald’s band, then Swing-shift, where he has remained since. Other members of the band include lead vocalist Lorrie Doigs who as part of her performance will go through up to four or five wardrobe changes.
Bass player Dave Schroeder is a hometown boy who says he never has and never will have any thoughts of leaving Port Angeles his favorite town. Schroeder likes playing for Teaser although it’s quite a change from the last band he played in which was a religious oriented band.
Admittance is $3 for PC students and $5 for guests.
