We pald for our maturlty at the state store, ever clear and 90 proof. We paused to wonder and went beyond the l1m1ts of our exlstenee as we walked the b1ke path and tagged through trees.

Not always polltlcally or ldeologmc-ally the same, We searched for shared experlences along the constantly changing Ohlo landscape of our llves - at foot- ball games and fraternity partxes, ln the theaters and lec-W ture halls, at protests and pep rallles, for long walks and snowball fights, Black and white, East and West, North and South, rlch and poor, we breathed as one race, as Ohlo Unlverslty, 11 ww- !f'T l '3'Y' 4 fl I . - as ' - tdxft tw'-:-f -' E X5 ' v .3 I' , L nl mimi: 'Sim Musir sooihes the ss vuge beast.
