The school year 1982-83 started rather hectically, especial- ly for freshmen with registration and orientation. It was a period of adjustment, but not an impossible task. Some mem- bers of the freshman class joined campus organizations, while some upper-classmen joined Greek organizations. Students who possessed quickness and speed found themselves on basketball, soccer, tennis, and softball teams. Those with musical talents found themselves in the choir. The literary oriented indulged in writing for the Scotia Express and the Saber. The strong-armed members became wrestlers, while the political minded became class officers and officers for student government. We were all exposed to religious, cultur- al and social events. Of course, academics is in the forefront of all college activi- ties. Our first day in class in 1982, marked the outcome of the whole year. By the end of the first week the competition began, just as we were about settled-in, mid-term rushed in bringing with it excitement, fear, and disappointment. Hard work was rewarded at the “Honors Convocation”, for those students who achieved a G.P.A. of 3.0 and above. Suddenly, there was tension, hustling and bustling. Everyone seemed busy ... what was happening? Finals were here. We had to make the best of these last exams, to achieve a satisfactory G.P.A. For some of us, this was the first out of four chances, for others, the second, and still for others, the third, and even the last. Did we make it?
