Lois Marsh and Eric Etzel
have been chosen to speak at
the 1981 Clackamas Com
munity College graduation
ceremony on June 6.
Marsh’s speech, titled “We
Shall Go Forward On Learn
ing,” hopes to encourage its
listeners to go on learning after
graduation. Marsh stated, “life
of itself is a learning ex
perience,” and because things
change, “we relearn to- ac
comodate the changes. We are
people who pride ourselves
with having the right to know,”
she added.
Marsh also stated, “It is im
possible to learn everything
within the confines of a
classroom. This implies the
necessity for teaching
ourselves.”

the College forensics team.
. Filling out the duo of
speakers,' Eric Etzel intends to
persuade his listeners that the
unachievable is achievable,
and thus the title of his speech,
“The Unachievable Is
Achievable.” Etzel said he will
“discuss the mental limitations
mankind places on ourselves.”
Etzel will show mem achieving
what'wets once believed unat
tainable.
An example would be the
once-believed notion, “Man
can never run a mile under four
minutes,” stated Etzel.
Etzel plans to then expand
the idea. “I will point out to
those graduating and all in the
audience that people can out
do themselves if they really
want to. That ail the negatives
and pessimism in the world,
such as the poor economy and
job prospects, which we as in
dividuals have no control over,
shouldn’t get us down.”
Etzel will leave his audience
by stating, “In leaving
1 Clackamas, we can have con-
, fidence to overcome these
limitations anct achieve greater
success.”
. Etzel is a former ASG
senator, and is currently presi
dent of the College’s student
body. He has also been a
member of the College’s foren
sics team.
The graduation speakers

grams speialist; Debbie Baker,

structor; and students Doug
