Class of ’84 The time has finally arrived for us to depart and place Blackburn behind us. To expand on the knowledge gained while attending this institute of higher education. Many of us utilized our four years quite well, becoming involved with the college and striving to make Blackburn a rewarding place for others to learn and grow. We have seen numerous changes within our four year period at Blackburn. We had the rare opportunity to be taught by the late Dr. John Forbes; a highly respected educator. We saw the resignation of former President John Alberti and the Inauguration of the current President, Dr. Bill Denman. We viewed our concern toward the abolishment of Saturday classes, spent probably over $300 at McDonald’s, The Anchor, Ryan’s Pub, Roma’s Pizza and the other places that served edible food when the dining hall was having it’s mystery meat special. We hope that everyone has found some form of happiness while attending Blackburn. Use that “happiness” within your future endeavors and try to formulate close correspondence with others from Blackburn. We know that B.U. is a college that operates on the unity of people, lets keep that unity within the “real” world. Sincerely, Ellen and Tip Theme 5

Class of ’84 People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. 6 Theme
