Journey Proves Inspirational! Jan. 7, 1987 We left El Paso, Texas at 8:00 am. Three buses and seven hours later we finally arrived in Cuathemoc, Mexico. The mountains were “fantastico.” I fantasized being on a horse and riding the range. I have noticed a mixture of cultures here, sort of a modern Mexican- American collage. The culture is definitely Mexican, but there are strong trades of American influences. For example, many people here still use a horse and buggy for transportation, although those who can afford cars do drive them. Visiting Mexico is like being in limbo, somewhere between the past and present. Coca-Cola and Ford products are popular here. I wonder if they give free Coke with a test drive? Jan. 10, 1987 We took a forty-five minute ride further up into the mountains, to the co-operative farm land. We experienced life as it was one hundred years ago. Riding horseback, we tried to corral a horse. We walked one fourth of a mile down a canyon to get drinking water, and we cooked our dinner over an open pit. I think we would make excellent mountain men and women. Jan. 11, 1987 We went to the Colonia this morning to celebrate mass with the villagers. It was cold. Afterwards we sang American and Mexican hymns with the children. We then walked to the neighborhood soc- cer field. Dividing the teams into an even number of girls and boys, we engaged in some serious competition. To be truthful, I think we all should try out for Avila’s soccer team next season. Jan. 13, 1987 Today is our last day in Cuathemoc. “Boo-Hoo,” We leave tomor- row. After breakfast and morning prayer we discussed our stay in Mexico. The rest of the day was spent gathering final glimpses of Cuathemoc and its people.

Avila Hilton This fourth floor had different interests and ideas about each other. And with such, everybody was keeping to “their own business” and “doing their own thing” most of the time. On the whole it was a good year for everyone. I don’t think anyone on 4th floor was unhappy the entire year. I certainly had a good time and I hope I’m correct in thinking everyone else did too. Gary Matson The Far Side I do believe fifth floor had a great reputation for being lively, or should I say “vivacious.” Take for example that “back wall,” consisting of rooms 505-511. You young ladies showed such enthusiasm for living the “college experience” that it was hard to keep you quiet about it. You more subdued women spent your “voluntary” waking hours pursuing academic, career, and athletic goals. You should have been commended for your ability to academically function on such a high-paced floor. At times it was distracting, but all in all we were a close-knit group. For who could forget how we pulled together when we lost our beloved “Fugly.” Rebekkah Montes. Surf City Sixth floor was a very diverse and interesting group. Even though we all had different in- terests, we came together to form an exciting and energetic floor. Many of you seemed to be learning how to adjust and strengthen your vocal cords. We had about ten sixth floorers who made up our “yell committee.” We also had a few practical jokers going around leaving “sticky” doorknobs. And remember the two women sprinkled with clay, wearing “Risky Business” glasses, and looking rather casual? We also had our own entertainment service, along with great birthday throwers. Beside our fun side we had our serious side which consisted of ten nurses, one respiratory therapist, and one radiation technician. Oh, remember how your ceiling shook and you heard pounding? No it wasn’t an earthquake; it was just our basketball girls get- ting ready for their opening game. As you can see we were an interesting group. You should have experienced the sixth floor!
