the changes that have taken place — the beginnings and the endings. The 1924 yearbook, Creighton ' s first yearbook, was submitted in the hope that it would serve to foster Creighton spirit and perpetuate the ideals of the University In much the same way, this book, the first volume of Creighton ' s second cen- tury, is submitted. It captures the end of the Centennial celebration and begins the story of the second. It is submitted with the hope Creighton University ' s students will continue to change and continue to be thinking and learning students who are always willing to experience new be- ginnings, and that its students will carry the Creighton brothers dream into the future.

This is 1978-79, and it was the year of the students. The students created a vivid reality full of change — cycles of beginnings and endings. Edward and John Creighton began it all and were responsible for the opening of Creighton ' s doors in 1878 with 120 boys. Since then the university has taken great strides to develop a campus, atmosphere and programs to provide its students with quality education and environment. As Creighton opens its doors to a new century, a new beginning, it is the students who will carry forth the Creighton brothers ' dream and write the next chapter in the school ' s history. The 1979 Bluejay is the record of how these students have evolved and where they are going in the future. The reader must get within these pages to discover Billie Bluejay tries to chat with these two students at Soc- toberfest, right, but they seem too amused to talk.
