To the rest thanks 4 the memories. BYE Francis Share and Share Alike The apartments! For three years seniors have waited to share an apartment with their friends. They've learned it's very different than dorm life because it gives them a sense of responsiblity and unity to class and friends. Seniors and Juniors living in the towers have to cook, clean and share the responsibilities of main- taining an apartment. Many apart- ments organize a work schedule for alternating chores. They learn to budget money and clip coupons. Through these responsibilities, the students living in the apartments can apply what they experienced towards the future and learn how to function as adults in the world. Not only does living in the towers bring responsibility, but it also brings friends and their class togeth- er. A major part of this unity is due to most of the senior class being con- centrated throughout the apart- ments. It becomes their own world which they consider home. Many neighbors become friends in the apartments as they borrow food, tools, and cooking hints. They grow close through such things as Super- bowl and Dynasty parties or just having neighbors over for dinner. It's a great opportunity to get ac- quainted with people in your class as all of your roommates have dif- ferent friends through which you get to know also. For many, getting prepared for life outside of college is tough. How- ever, living in the apartments is a place whereby seniors can grow and become responsible and mature people. Seniors have waited a long time to experience the apartments, and the time proves well worth the wait. Seniors 23
