Sophomore year we came back to a slump. No kegs. No parties . . . we were down in the dumps. Most of us turned twenty and tried the local gin mills, Tammany Hall, The Loft, Casey ' s, Leitrum ' s, we couldn ' t keep still. Our attempts to convert lower campus to coed dorms Were defeated when we were told it was to stay the norm. Nevertheless our fun did not sour, The A.C. females had the all girl happy hour. Two bands came later to give us more of a start, They were Southside Johnny and Pousette Dart. Our barbec ue was the event that took over the spring, When Fernando DeSilva did the most memorable thing, He was standing there so innocent and cute . . . Suddenly finding himself in his birthday suit! Other events that happened that year, Casey ' s was enlarged and the pub opened six nights for beer. Enter Cyr-Bowler Murphy for a term Exit kegs - the decision was firm. And so ends a year very different from the last, To add to the other memories we have from the past. 9

BBpqjBOOEtijG w® S ophomore year, things seemed ro come together at first. We knew where we were living and hod friends here ro meet us when we arrived. We were rhe masters of lower campus with rhe freshman humbly falling or our feer-or so wed hove liked ro believe. Just os everything seemed ro be smooth soiling, on obstacle jumped in front of our ships from the depths of the registrar ' s office. We were asked ro declare o major. Our sails drooped with a sigh as we faced a question that could determine our lives. We began ro doubt. We doubted whor we were doing here and why we even come here in rhe first place. And worse, we began ro doubt ourselves. We made it that far, bur who ' s ro say we could go all rhe way? I guess you could say we confronted sophomore slump Then suddenly, like the clouds after a storm, we began ro answer our questions and ro discover who we are and why we came here. Without realizing it, we were changing, We shed our freshman attitudes and gradually crept toward a new self. Although we couldn T see rhe changes in ourselves, we had a new, good feeling within. So the warming winds of spring brought with it rhe promise of a restful summer and rhe anticipation of junior year. Sophomore year was a year of change . . .

smvm mm unior year was comfortable. We were old enough and experienced enough to relax with ourselves and our environment. We hod found a direction in which to go. Our gods were storting to be set. We had ideas of what we wonted to do after college and we knew what we hod to do to achieve our goals. But we still hod the security of one more year until facing the ' ' real world . We become settled. We were more sure of ourselves, our surroundings, and others. Since we hod more or less found ourselves , we hod more opportunity to find others. We cultivated our friendships to moke them closer ond stronger. Spring ' s warming winds found us regretting the quickness of the passing days. We were becoming dangerously close to being seniors ond, therefore, were beginning to lose the security of being able to play school os the fear of red life was welling within us. Junior year ended too soon. Just when we finally got this place and our lives here under control, they told us it was over. Junior year was a year of growing ond expanding . . .
