X 4 J PRECIOUS MEMORIES Thoughts of Wesley Chapel decorated at Christmastime or of the rock which has just been painted for the hundredth time, they are but fleeting moments. What would one remember in anticipation of a return to Wesleyan for a visit? The primary thoughts of the alumni are of the traditions of which they all were a part. These thoughts live forever in their hearts. The traditions which are shared among all of the Wesleyan family members are special because we all have played a vital role in their creation. These traditions extend from the very first day a student walked the campus to the final walk as a student during the commencement ceremony. Throughout the years as new students arrive and others graduate, during the turmoil of it all remains a special gratitude which will live in their hearts forever. In the years to come, the Wesleyan traditions will be remembered with a feeling of warmth and antiquity. •HEIRLQQMS 19

ORIENTATION . . . After all these events, the freshmen are ready to leave behind their high school lives to begin their new future. They must say good-bye to parents, to begin a new independence. After the final barbecue, parents start to depart. These next few days before classes begin are used as a time to get to know roommates, new friends and to adjust to the school itself. Heirlooms 21
