Baring Good Times How many times did we want to quit? With poor grades and difficult assign- ments weighting down our shoulders, shrugging off burdens and spotting the highlights was often hard. But in the end the good times seemed to prevail. Halls and lunchrooms always had an echo of laughter even though there were math problems to digest and lunches to deci- pher. Our athletes knew as much defeat as victory, but never did they fail to give all they had 4 Oper ng At the beginning of what we knew would be a long climb, we set goals high with every intention of reaching them. We experienced the agony of defeat, the de- pression brought by low marks, and the anguish of too much to do and not enough time.

And who won't cherish that precious, meaning- ful glance from that special guy from across the lunchroom? Certainly we won't, for we will hold these memories and many others dear for- ever. The years pass but none of us will forget the ups, and downs, the good and the bad the student life.
