Telly Chaverria, left, a Bonham sophomore and PJC graduate with highest honors, was the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award during commencement exercises Friday evening at Noyes Stadium.

A record number of graduates moved to an old familiar site to hold Paris Junior College graduation Friday night. PJC commencement exercises were held at Noyes Stadium on the PJC campus for the first time since 1987. The growing number of graduates, a record 414 this year, has made it necessary to move back to the stadium so the growing number of family and friends can attend the proceedings. The Hunt Center, where graduation has been held in recent years, will continue to be the site in the event of rain. Following the welcome, Dr. Anglin introduced Telly Chaverria, winner of the Distinguished Student Award. Pam Smith, an English instructor, was introduced as the PJC Master Teacher for 2005-2006. Dr. Anglin recognized seven students who graduated with highest honors by attaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average. They included Bradley Scott McNeal of Roxton, Telly Ezekiel Chaverria of Bonham, Larry Claude Cox, Doneshia Johnson and Linda Trahan Williams, all of Paris, Jesse Allen Hausler of Clarksville and Christopher H. Seward of Grand Prairie. Dr. Anglin, along with deans Dwight Chaney and David McAnally, presented diplomas and certificates to the graduates.
