TRANSITIONS BY KEN BRISSETTE P eople — Events — Spirit — Memories. Worcester State College is not just a school on the Hill” but an institution that is unique in its people, its spirit, and its events. These three things combined bring the students here together to share in some of the fond memories that we have had during our four years. Since 1874 this school has been serving its students faithfully to its fullest capacity. Times, along with the people, have changed along the way. Whether or not we achieved our goals we set as Freshman Worcester State has provided us with the opportunity to do our best and to mature through our endeavors. Each student and staff member has contributed his or her own qualities to Worcester State. Pre-occupied, however with classes and our own daily routines, some students did not take advantage of the opportunities to learn about the personalities of our other classmates and the school itself. To those of you who didn’t we give you this book, to look back and see what you have missed and put it in proper perspective with your own goals that you have now established. Worcester State students are distinct from other college students in Worcester. We set out and attain what it is that we want from the school. The re-opening of the pub proved to all of us and the school that we can handle pressure and ascertain a mature level of what is the college student as we see it today. We all should be proud of our individual accomplishments and our accomplishments to the school. For Worcester State will continue to gain respect in the community and continue to graduate successful students into that so called Big Bad World.” Remember “It’s a jungle out there.” For those of you who graduate and leave the campus behind, you carry with you the memories of all the people and events which continue Worcester State College a very special institution. To capture the uniqueness of the students, the faculty, the administrators and most importantly you, our fellow students and friends we present to you, TRANSITIONS, 1987 . . . and we hope your life is filled with them.
