“Focus on the Future,” our judgment day has arrived “I was dreaming when I wrote this — forgive me if I go astray, but when I woke up this morning, I could’ve sworn it was the judgment day. Ah — “the judgment day!” In rock star Prince’s pop hit “1999,” this day was symbolic of the end of the world when we would have to stand solely accountable for our actions and the road our lives had taken. For struggling students at Bradley, however, Prince’s pop hit had a dual message not only about the hereafter. Indeed, we would face our own judg- ment day when we would venture out into the big, big world beyond Bradley’s protective arms. There we too would be assessed by the whole world and labeled either pass or fail. Foremost, our education encom- passed the attainment of knowledge and other career prerequisites, but Bradley education was also a lesson in life — friendships, responsibilities, fun, vic- tories, defeats. In short, Bradley itself was a “society readying us for future demands. It was for this day — the tomorrow past graduation — for which we prepared. Perhaps it was not an easy task, and at times the difficulties seemed to overshadow the laurels of our accomplishments, but we pressed on. We pressed on because we had goals, which had been nurtured at Bradley. We had our eyesight focused on taming that tantalizing, illusive uncertainty, the essence of our lives — We were focused on the Future. One big happy family, Kristen Olkowski and Glenda Keller are all feet and smiles as they get a lift from Anthony Tucker and Terri Barrett. Desperately trying to fight the “Z’s,” Chip Davis finally gives up and accepta sleep as the in- evitable price of staying out late the night before. Demonstrating a scientific marvel, Melissa Guthrie shows what a normally reclined person would look like if the world turned upside down. 2 Opening
