President Davie Jane Gilmour, center, shares a laugh while looking at photographs with former students Hygienists' tools adorn commemorative cake Table of memorabilia offers popular gathering point Members of the first dental hygiene class at Williamsport Area Community College, Penn College's predecessor, stand to be recognized Themed cookies add a whimsical touch Penn College's dental hygiene major celebrated its 30th anniversary Friday, three decades during which 939 bachelor's and associate degrees were awarded to 774 graduates – and the program's first instructor rose to become the institution's president. More than 130 alumni attended the daylong observance, which offered continuing education; lunch at Le Jeune Chef Restaurant; dessert and reminiscence with President Davie Jane Gilmour (whose memories included teaching oral anatomy in the geology lab during the program's earliest days); the opportunity for former classmates to pore, laugh and wince over yearbooks and old photographs; and a Hiawatha riverboat cruise. Representatives of nearly every class were on hand, from 10 members of the inaugural Class of 1979 (including one who traveled from Maine) to 2009 grad Kelly A. Braun, a commencement speaker earlier this month.

After nine seasons that included six consecutive conference championships and an incredible win streak that reached 155 matches from 2003-08, Penn College golf coach Chet Schuman is retiring. But he passes the torch to someone very familiar with the program: Matt Haile, who placed second in the 2002 Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association championship and won the conference’s individual crown in 2003 as a member of the Wildcat team that began the remarkable string of victories. He also was the Penn State University Athletic Conference individual runner-up in 2005 when the team won its third straight conference title.
