The Class With Character Men reach for space in the eye of an apple, Their far-away fantasies quenchedin its core. Extending an arm to a denizen of the future, To wrench time from his grasp with an appleseed lure. Leaves proffered to a sky which life cannot swallow, Men's dreams lose perspective in the vastness of each limb. Be- tween seed and tree the days have been captured, Memories in each blossom to fancy any man's whim. CLM lt was four years ago on a rainy, humid ltypically Lancaster! day in late August of 1978 that the Class of '82 invaded FSM campus to be- gin what seemedlike an eternity of studying. 28 0 Discoverles

From day one it was noted that something was different about the Class - it had character. llt also may have had a lower over-all GPA than the others, but you can't have everythingll The Class brought a spark oflife to the cam- pus. Many new clubs, organiza- tions and social events have been expanded through the dedication and enthusiasm of its members. Members of the Class have been involvedin some crazy, char- acter-building events such as con- structing a bath tub out of the shower room on first floor Buchan- an, streaking through the Quad in the snow, and attending a beach party in the middle of February on Hartman Green. Throughout our four years, many memorable events occurred at F8tM. The first was the premiere showing of The Boys From Bra- zil . The next exciting event of our freshman year was the basketball team going to Rock Island, Illinois for Nationals! Never have l seen such dedicated fans at F8tM. As soon as Nationals and Spring Break were over we were hit with the accident at TMI. Nuke Break gave us all a chance to re- cuperate from our wildly exciting Spring Breaks! Subtle changes took place dur- ing our sophomore and junior years - class officers were in- stalled, Homecoming was made an all-school event and social events were expanded. The Class X X x x ' X X l3 I X also experienced three different food services, integration of dor- mitory halls and a growing off- campus contingency called slobs . Senior year was by far the most memorable year, because when we realized we would be leaving Ol' Camp Fum in a few months, the excitement of our first year re- turned and made a repeat perfor- mance. Rocky Horror and Fum Fol- lies reappeared. A new event, the Mayfest - a Senior Class Ger- man Beer Festival - gave the sen- iors another chance to celebrate their approaching graduation. This Class had something that its predecessors lacked, namely spirit and pride in its members and in F8tM. I gained much from my ex- perience at F8tM - everything from a degree in Liberal Arts, to maturity, to shaving cream pies on my birthday. The Class of '82 will leave this campus the way it entered - with character and much pride in itself, in its achievements andin its Alma Mater: F8tM Cheryl McComsey -v , YE- ei 1.-:X 'J' T A N .M 4. , J ,I -Hes 1551 'K I, 1.
