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 . . .

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
