Serena We felt that CROSSROADS is synonomous with Bridgewater; for crossroads is defined as a central meeting place or a crucial point, especially where a decision must be made. We ARRIVED at this crossroad with expectations of a new experience, We CONVERGED into a community of students who shared interests, hopes, ideas . . . And we DEPARTED, realizing that B.S.C. was only meant to be a preparation — a preparation for the future, for finding a new direction.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. 54 jr 55 m ' irtmmMifl% I shall be telling Somewhere ages and Two roads diverged I took the one less And that has made 56 this with a sigh ages hence: in a wood, and I — traveled by, all the difference.

It was fun being a dream. I liked being undefined and having no responsibilities. Proceeding aimlessly, undetermined, I drifted around, Feeling nothing, seeing nothing, and experiencing Nothing. Doing this, I had no hassles bogging down my mind. It was a carefree existence, but I needed something more. Now I am a reality. It was fun being a dream, but I needed a purpose, a place, And a name. True, now I have cares and worries, but I also have joys. So now I have something better. Instead of just existing, I live. I play a part now, before, there was no part to play. I didn ' t know what it would be like, but I ' m glad I found it Because now I am fullfilled. C. Clausen 120 121 h o G ame or.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he ' s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run. And nearer he ' s to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times, still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time; And while ye may, go marry: For having lost but once your prime. You may for ever tarry.

We believe that the lessons learned in the classrooms, in the gymnasium, and the athletic fields combine to produce capable and productive human beings. We strive to achieve these objectives through an intercollegiate and intramural program constructed to benefit all students, no matter what the interest or skill might be. In intercollegiate competition the more highly skilled perfromer is given the opportunity to compete, to gain the satisfaction and spirit of unity which comes through teamwork and victory. Esprit de corps and morale within the student body is an objective of the intercollegiate program. For the person less motivated toward competition, there is an intramural program, parallel in structure to the intercollegiate program. There are a so intramural and non-competitive activities for which there is not intercollegiate competition.

We take it for granted that the players will spare us no sacrifice to become alert, strong, and skilled, that they will give their best on the field. This is as it should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extemely anxious that its implications not be lost upon us. — John F.

The pictures and commentaries are rec- ollections in a con- crete form (in case our memory ever fal- tered from time to time). The CROSS- ROADS is dedicated to you, Class of 1977 because without you, the greatest story could not have been told! I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all my edi- tors and staff for a job well-done; without your ideas and hours of hard work, this book would have been an impossible task. Also, the knowledge and guidance from Arnie Lohmann and Pat Connolly was a tremendous asset to us. To my managing- editor, Tom Conley — your loyal support, cooperation and the battles we shared will always be remembered as major factors in benefitting the con- struction of this yearbook. To all of you and to the Class of 1977, 1 wish you the best of luck in any goal you venture to obtain.
