Ripping a Way to the future ... For all of us, life is a growing experience. In effect, we shed, or rip off, the things we no longer need to gain the things that are required. It ' s like ojjening a present; we rip off the colorful wrapping paper and fancy ribbons and bows to see what useful item lies within the box. So it is also with college. During the years we spend furthering our education, we strip away the outside covering to reveal the po- tential locked inside ourselves. For example, consider the Freshman. By leaving home to pursue a college degree, he has npped away from his parents and set out on his own. Think next about the Soph- omore. Here we find a person no longer a fresh- man, but not yet an upperclassman. Identity is what is sought after, and another layer of the superficial is stripped off the box. Moving on, analyze the Junior. Juniors are close to realizing their goal: Graduation, but there are many obstacles left to conquer. The job market becomes more of an interest, homework takes up time, and relationships become more important to some. More ripping takes place . . . Finally, scrutinize the product of at least three years of higher education: the Senior. For some, this distinction brings with it more responsi- bility. Marriage, children, even full-time jobs compete for the attentions of these students. Much of the outer layer has been shed, but there is still a lot of area to yet uncover. This edition of the Angelas has tried to show the growth and the shedding that has taken place this year. Some have uncovered more of their potential than others, but the process goes on. After you close this annual and put it on the shelf, you, the reader, will still be ripping a way to the future. Laura Grace zones out before her Amer- ican Romantic Period class.
