I l In l 1 10 Holy Cross. A cluster of buildings: at evening, light filled, the glow sweeping uphill from dorm to dorm. For many of us, this has been a four year home away from home. It has E encompassed everything from friends i next door, to trapsing across campus l i to dinner. And the wind! Who among . you will ever forget the wind on an icy Q February morning? For a reminder of all that Holy Cross is, and was, turn to page 10. W s I 170 i The student-faculty relationship is an T exchange of ideas and opinions, but ,besides imparting their knowledge, the faculty also share with us part of themselves and their experiences. lt is they who turn classrooms into challenges, who dissipate some of the l darkness in our minds, and it is they who push us to think for ourselves. To reacquaint yourself with their faces and their thoughts, see page 170. 250 Fieldtrips, dancing lessons, arts and crafts, guest lecturers, the Christmas Banquet-at Holy Cross theres always something going on. A glance at the ever reliable Son of Focus attests to the wide range of events sponsored by organizations on campus. There's no excuse to hide in your room - the inumerable events on and off campus provide enough variety to tickle the fancy of every 'Sader. For a look at some of the year's events, turn to page 250. 94 Graduation - a time of nostalgia-reflections of carefree college days, of late night hell raising and exam cramming. Vague memories of wide-eyed and naive freshmen and their thoughts of timelessness. But time existed, and it passed, and with it came sophistication and confidence, and blossoming of friendships. Life at Holy Cross was not one big party, but somehow the memories of the difficult times fade and it is the happy memories that live on. See page 94. 202 It can never be said that Holy Cross contributes to the stagnation of the student mind. There are dozens of opportunities that range from volunteer and service organizations, to campus entertainment and communications. Our individualism is revealed in these activities, and what matters is that we are there because we want to be. For a closer look, turn to page 202. 296 There is much reason to take pride in the Holy Cross athletic tradition. The student-athlete, involved in sports, whether minor, major, or intramural, is regarded with consideration and respect. Genuine dedication and determination, characteristic of the individuals who participate, result in success and personal satisfaction. Close-ups of some of this year's sports spectaculars begin on page 296.
