Friends Fellow Classmates I would like to start with a poem entitled Thinking If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you don ' t. If you ' d like to win but you think you can ' t It ' s almost a cinch you won ' t. If you think you ' ll lose, you ' re lost, For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow ' s will — It ' s all in the state of mind. If you think you ' re outclassed, you are; You ' ve got to think high to rise; You ' ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life ' s battles don ' t always go To the stronger or the faster man; But sooner or later the man who wins, Is the one who thinks he can. Don ' t fall prey to the feelings of sadness that saying goodbye brings. Be happy when it comes time for vou vour friends to part, reach deep within you bring back that first hello. Remember the positive things, all of the good times we had, the great achievements of our classmates teams that they were on. Things such as: -an all time leading rushing record -a Rhodes Scholar nominee •a nationally ranked wrestling team -Work Hall parties at A-Day -members of our Equestrian team going to compete nationally -MAC playoffs -numerous awards at the Philadelphia Flower Show -and the installation of a new president Continue the trend of success that we ' ve all grown to know so well. One transition I see beyond the obvious on our graduation day is that we are no longer the oxygen that the College breathes, but now the life blood of the institution. A very good friend of mine, made the comment that next yr. Del Val College will be like visiting the shore in winter; it ' s the same place, but nobody will be there. We will be here, maybe not physically, but we will be here in spirit because this is our Alma Mater. What a long strange trip it ' s been!! Good Luck, Congratulations May God bless you all Eric J. Vanden Berghe HEQE THEY COME!! 235

Dear Administration, Faculty, Staff, Fellow Students, and 1988 Graduates, I would like to apologize for the fact that this years Cornucopia was published so late, but we ran into some problems throughout the process of putting the book together. Our largest problem was one of being understaffed. Frankly this problem worries me because due to this problem the 1987-88 Cornucopia may be the last one published. A yearbook is the only permanent record of the best years of your life and only you the heart and soul of Delaware Valley College can help keep this record alive. How can you help keep the Cornucopia going?, you may ask, by getting involved. I ' m not asking that you give up all your spare time, like I had to do to get this years book completed and will not do again. All I ' m ask- ing is that you give up a couple of hours. If you ' re involved in a sport, a club, or an event of some kind volunteer to do the layout for that sport, club, or event. Not only will this help make the editors job easier but it will also help bring a more personal quality to the Cornucopia. I feel if the person doing the layout is involved in the subject of the layout than they can represent any inside jokes or unique occurrences that took place during the season or the year. This as I already mentioned makes the layout more personal than if an outsider takes nine or ten pictures and throws them on a page with a heading. As you can see I don ' t want the 1987-88 Cornucopia to be the last Del Val yearbook and I would like to up- grade the quality of the book but I cannot do this alone. I need your help so if you think you can help in any- way and are sincere about it I urge you to get involved. One thing I forgot to mention before that I ' d like to mention now is that for your time you receive one se- mester credit, probably the easiest credit you ' ll ever earn! In Conclusion I would like to thank the few people who helped this past year in completing the yearbook. Thank you for your time and enjoy the 1987-88 Cornucopia. Sincerely, j K JthG QUJWLAs Beth A.
