Winning, A Tradition Winning starts within an individual. It ' s a small feeling at first. It grows with each practice and every sore muscle. It ' s what makes you push harder even when you don ' t think you can push anymore. It ' s the drive and determination necessary to bring individuals together to make a team. It is that feeling that makes working out on the hottest day or that extra hour of practice possible. It ' s what makes hard work, the sweat, and the tears all worthwhile. Winning is a frame of mind, a sense of pride. Coach Vannie Edwards leads the Lady Gymnasts in prayer before each meet. m mSm SCHMIDT BAILEY Jim Kubik, Centenary Baseball player, was named to the TAAC All-Conference team and the All State College Team in 1983. Wayne Rathbun was also named All-Conference in the TAAC in 1983. Basketball players await their turn to play.

After 4 Years . . . Where To Now? Graduation is a moment to reflect upon all those projects and all-nighters which had been suffered through, and to feel a sense of genuine triumph in overcoming it all. It is triumph tainted with the sad- ness of saying good-bye to friends and even Centena- ry. Yet, jubilation will win out in the end as the Graduates of 1984 bid Centenary a loving farewell and move on toward the future, walking away with everlasting pride. Meeting four years ago, Michelle Whitt and Claire Weigand will share a special friendship for a lifetime. Angela Estill seems to enjoy her last year participating in Chi Omega Rush. Seniors emerge from Brown Chapel after the President ' s Convocation. 14 • Opening
