The stark whiteness of snow added a myste- rious quality to the landscape Its cool, clean, winterv presence masked the prairie. . . The sounds of winter were equally enchanting: skates skimming the ice, the crunch of snow underfoot, and the spinning of tires. Memories of summer months, passed through the minds of hard working business students, as they recall Business Challenge Week (A). Members of the business commu- nity were invited to SDC to speak to high school and college students alike, expanding student awareness of the business world. The students were divided into companies with a prominent business person in charge. Many DSC students served as business counselors for rhe high school students. A visit to Medora was taken to observe how business procedure was used. Winter A ‘balance in the accounts of na- ture. The sleet drives against the wmdowpane demonstrating rhe intensity of the winter winds outside. This turbulance is felt inside as Chris Fughet (C) works on a computer. The com- puter center has recently expanded at DSC. Stu • dents are now able to major in Computer Sci- ence. and computer coureses have been added to the curriculum. A step into the future. (Our future!! Outside, a winrery creation was a sight to behold, as Lisa Crow (B) admires rhe scenery in front of May Hall. The business o! spring and summer have passed. Winter has arrived.

Surely nothing else is as precious as the gift of friendship. It 's through the friendly talk that our lives become more pleasur- able. If one listens closely, you can hear it throughout the halls of DSC. Sh. you can hear it. . . Listen to the music, let it fill the air. there’s love in the music. . . It's the sound of the 1983 marching band conducted by Rick Walter, drum major (H). They do not play A T us. but TO us. The cold, crisp winter air resounds with music as band members entertain the crowd during a halftime football game. (G). Listen to another sound; pop, pop . The sound of popping corn. Friendships pop behind the scenes as Bob Thorpe (F) enjoys talking and popping! Outside Mm thanks! The unspoken sharing between friends, as Carla Herold (F) shares with a friend. To friends everywhere, thanks! Thanks for the warmth of your presence. the yes- terdays we’ve shared and the joys you've given. It 's easy to be a friend. It begins with a simple hello. Say hi to someone walk- ing by and share a smile or two. It‘s easy to be a friend, and our lives become oh. so much richer when we take time to be a friend. 11

It takes an open mind and a ready heart to fully appreciate a North Dakota winter. The wind howls, snow piles deep, cars get stuck. (E) and pipes freeze. It 's easy to dream of coral beaches and tropical islands where the climate remains balmy and where temperatures never fall below zero, ane!I Larson (D) pictured in her version of Hawaiian costume. Yet. there's no place like home, as Lu- key (Chuck Andrus) discovers in the the- at re production of Prairie Humoresque (F). Darkness came early those days. There seemed to be no afternoon. Like the driven sleet, this Hawk football player (H) is ready to drive against the Chadron Eagles. Down, set.. . . STOP! Who is that guy' Surely not one of our football players! Nothing like sitting on the job. Number seventy-five was an honored guest in De- Long Hall during homecoming week (G). The dark nights of winter crackled with bitter cold. Bur nature was never static. We soon began another journey into another year. Looking back with smiles and laughs, we remember the drifts along our roads; but. these too. have melted and soon van• ished. 7'is a season of enchantment! 13
