Yearbooks are visual animals. You see them. You can ' t smell them unless they ' re very new, very old or have some- thing spilled on them. Most of the pages feel the same. They sound like any other book. Please don ' t eat your yearbook. Even when you are out of college and it ' s the only food you can afford. With this in-depth research as a foun- dation, a very visual book has been compiled. The color - A twenties yearbook might have been black with art nouveau gold trim. The 40 ' s one — red, white, and blue. The 60 ' s paisley or tie-dyed (it was a trick to tie- dye a yearbook, but they probably found a way). The 80 ' s. Almost 90 ' s. Pink and green smacks of strong economy — Beverly Hills and tan-flattering pastels. Miami Vice. Richness. The logo Independence is the theme of more than the Aurora . It ' s reflected in mag- azines and the impact of small business popularity. It ' s up to you is the chal- lenge to a Christian school to exercise the boldness it takes to communicate Christ. Too many people in 1988 thought that a phrase like this meant Do what feels good. To us it meant It ' s up to you to do what is good. The devices — Triangles: The unity of God, man and his feUow man or Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Direction. The triangles are equi- lateral for balance and consistency. They make a point. — Texture: The section contains work with a dot pattern in scoreboards and quote boxes, behind pictures and in some triangles. It gives the feeling of shade and roughness. — Circles: In Timbre, the circles rep- resent resonance, rippling out from the source. The feeling is depth, convergence. — Rips and Splashes: Expression, flair, individual strokes. Give a happy guy an exacto knife, say thrash and voUa. The devices are an example, a pointer as the broader device of the ONU student. Your shadow might be lines or X ' s or curls. Your circles might ripple from all kinds of talents. (Though they always center at the heart). Your splash or rip may be a mere nick, a dot or spatter, or a jagged cut or spiU. This book was written by you and it ' s up to you what you read into (or out of) it. OPENING 7

Chapel Prelude President Leslie Parrott and with liberated hostage Rev. Lawrence Martin Jenco prepare to go on stage for Jenco ' s chapel presentation. Phofo hy G. Wickersham Because It Is A It ' s up to you. It ' s true . . . and you had better believe it . . . not because the Au- rora Editor says so . . . but be- cause it is a fact of life . . . You can do what you willing to do . . . whether other people think you can or not . . . They are not re- sponsible for you . . . You are. For instance: Nobody can in- timidate you unless you let them . . . You can climb the mountain . . . Why not? . . . Even if you fail, there is something to be said for trying . . . Students with good grades are no smarter than those with average grades . . . Confi- dence, commitment and courage all come before IQ . . . Somebody can measure your skills, but no one can take the measure your skills, but no one can take the measure of your willingness to pay the price in time and effort. That ' s up to you. This idea that it is up to us has driven the motivational engine of Olivet for 80 years . . . T.W. Wil- lingham decided it was up to him to save the fledging institution at Olivet, Illinois, from bankruptcy. . . . A.L. Parrott decided it was up him move Olivet fron the old burned out location south of Dan- ville to the commodious campus vacated by St. Viator ' s in Bour- bonnais ... It was not easy, but he did it . . . Harold W. Reed de- cided it was up to him to give the kind of leadership it deserved . . . And he did it for 26 years . . . That is how we got accreditation, cam- pus construction and financial stability. And now it is up to us . . . Com- pleting the plan is just one more step in the way Olivet does things . . . There is a convocation ath- letic center to be built . . . There is a idea of a university to be de- veloped . . . There is a faculty sal- ary structure to be lifted . . . And on . . . and on . . . and on! We can and we will . . . be- cause it is up to us. By Leslie Parrott, President f M 8 PRESIDENT
