IMPRESSIONS . . It’s weird if you’ve ever been in their locker room over the past few years. No nasty looks. No quiet responses. No screaming coaches. Minus the disappointment. Tears of joy, not . . . Yankee Conference Co-champs. Do you feel the impact of that? Number one from . . . Squashed by nearly all. Sure you’ve seen Tommy Lasorda squirted by champagne, but to have been there in the victorious locker room that sunny fall Saturday when GRI did IT — beat GConn. Crown the Rams. No more laughing at those Rams, I’ll tell you. They did too. Mark Dennen, hardly a likely hero and only sometime starter at linebacker, one of the heroes. He was like a two year old at Christmas. Yes there is a God and he wears blue, gold, and white, and yes he had his day, Dennen did. Two, not one, two fumble recoveries when it looked like GRI might . . . Oh, I can’t say it. Mr. Dennen was a dic- tionary of excitement. He deserv- ed to be. Jon Rodgers, GRI’s own Marcus Allen. Jim Roberson, Den- nis Talbot, the big play men. Can I say something about every player on the team? Sure, but then this opening would be the middle and closing of the yearbook as well. It didn’t matter all that much when GRI got blown out by Idaho State in the playoffs. We were the Yankee Con- ference Co-Champs. Bryan Ethier 10 Impressions

If for some strange reason you know where the library is, have you ever paid attention to how you got there? The brick walk, the small trees, the benches where students and faculty munch and gab. The lights at night, making the library almost desirable even though you say, “Do I have to?” It’s one of the nicest walkways at ORI. Early on a foggy evening, those lights put the campus in a state of drowsiness and some students in a state of reverie. Thoughts of weekend parties, or games, or you know who. Gradua- tion. The trip to Florida. They all seem so clear when you walk down the brick path to the lost continent — the library. And there it stands in all its glory. Have you ever noticed that it doesn’t blend in like the Engineering buildings do? Or Bliss and East? Don’t you get the feeling that some strange power emits from it? Big. Greyish-white with the steps leading up to the building of wicked super knowledge. The path, like a red carpet, disects the outline of the monstrosity. Stop. Look up at the lights at night. Then look at the library. This ain’t high school guys. Impressions 9
