Utah State University Graduation

I graduated from Utah State in 1981.  I had a double major in Spanish and Social Work.  I also minored in Journalism.  I had a lot more credits then I needed, because I liked learning and nobody told me I couldn't.

Sky View High School Graduation Diploma

 I posted about graduation once before, but found my diploma, which has a picture of the school as it appeared in 1975.  I know there have been several additions to the school since.  I also found my tassels.

 

Logan Institute Graduation 1981

I was very proud of graduating form Institute.  One reason for that is I had to go the extra mile to make it happen.  I took a journal writing class from the grandparents of Kamran Preece (little leaguer).  To get a passing grade in the class, you had to write so many journal entries of different types.  I hadn't gotten them done during the course, but tracked them down and finished them before graduation.  Other classes I enjoyed were the Old Testament services from Brother Dorigatti.  I also took religions of the world which also gave university credit, the Book of Mormon series, and also sang in the choir one year.

Interesting that Laurie Nelson and I are the only two from Hyrum Stake.  There were also Vic Saunders and someone from Hyrum North stake, which must have just recently been created.

Utah State Graduation 1981

I graduated from Utah State in 1981.  I had a double major in Social Work and Spanish with a minor in Journalism.  Knowing Spanish I received a BA.  Our college, Humanities Arts and Social Sciences, organized in the auditorium of Old Main, and from there we marched to the Spectrum for the ceremony.  My dad took lots of pictures.

Sky View High School Graduation 1975

I don't remember much of my graduation night, but have these few mementos, a picture from the paper, the program and a picture in front of the school.  I know we rehearsed many days, and I would have been with the choir which sang, "Impossible Dream," "This is our Country" and "Climb Every Mountain."
