Before the events pass, the people leave, and the colors of 88' fade into the uncertainty of the future, the Warrior staff will be attempting to preserve those memories which may be of value to each and every person who is connected to the college. From the very start ofthe year when events such as a welcome picnic, watermelon feed, ice cream sun- dae feed, welcome dance, and a tour of Muskogee were sponsored, Bacone seemed to take on more of a socially oriented attitude, with the emphasis on do- ing, and participating. Everyone seems to know each other a little better this year, and the freshmen seem friendlier, said Sam Wynn, a returning sophomore. . A Leadership Retreat was held at Camp Egan, near Tahlequah, to promote spirit among a group of in- terested student leaders. A greater number of in- tramural teams were formed at the start of the year, promising to make a more interesting and well represented field of athletes. In spite of the new trend of becoming involved in activities and the positive attitudes such events generated, there was a 'feeling of anxiety among students and faculty concerning the bleak financial state of the college. As more cutbacks were made, staff members feared for theirjobs, and some took on the responsibilities held by former employees.
