RRH Rows of black gowned graduates proceed down the aisle. Parents strain for a glimpse of their sons and daughters and listen patiently to hear their names. Four years of work and play have all boiled down to this one day — Commencement. This same scene is played at hundreds of colleges through- out the country. But somehow, this commencement is different for these aren ' t any graduates, this is the class of 1986. This is Belmont Abbey ' s Class of 1986. These people aren ' t faceless stu- dents, they are our friends of the past four years. These students are the heroes in our continuing drama. For them, the story is ending but they have left their mark on the cast. Every senior has played a role in the Abbey tale. Some leave behind teammates, other fraternity brothers and sisters, and all leave behind their friends. For every senior, the story is different, viewed through his own experiences. Some remember the days they set foot on Abbey soil four years ago. Others will forget the name of their roommate, but all will remember something of the story. For those left behind, the class of 1986 has left us with sweet memories and models of attainment. And, al- though it might seem to be the end, the now Abbey alumni will continue to play their part in the never-ending story. 10
