Greetings and Godspeed This book with all its color and smiling faces will grow more important, more dear to you as time passes. Since assuming the leadership of Fitchburg State, I have begun to acquire a collection of yearbooks, which I keep in my office and occasionally review. It is a delight to remember old friends, former students who have worked with me and with whom I have shared experiences in learning and living. If all of the prognosticators are correct, the world you are entering as college graduates will be significantly different from the one I faced. Your world, it is said, is growing smaller, more dangerous, less affluent. Tough times. But, I wouldn ' t waste too much time worrying. You have a good education and, from what I have seen, the values and the vivacity to achieve the rewards and happiness that life has always offered in good times or bad. So go forward in search of your grail. Look back occasionally through this book and enjoy your memories. Come back occasionally and visit us. Here you will always be welcome, always be important, always be someone who has made a difference and is remembered with fondness and pride. Vincent J. Mara 10
