« ♦ FINISHED CONSTRUCTION Mm- After two years of dry silence, the SUB pit fountain resumes its bubbling and gurgling again, but this time the decor is distinctly constrasting. Rocks transported from Three Sisters, Oregon were used in the new fountain. A variety of ferns and fauna were also installed to add authenticity., I call (the fou- tain) a Three Sisters Fountainscape, said Clyde Thomas, co-designer and constructor of the fountain. Also involved in the designing and construction was sophomore, Ever Camua. Camua did the actual de- signing of the fountain on paper after sharing ideas with Thomas. The fountain is a gift from the graduation Class of 1987. The original fountain, a gift from the Class of 1958, was called the fish and lily pad pond, said Thomas. At the time the Student Union Building did not enclose the fountain. Future plans for the foun- tain include painting a mural of the Three Sisters Landscape along the wall facing the fountain. THANKS CLASS OF 1987!!!!!!!

At beginning of each school year there is something that seems to bring the sch- ool back to life ......... FRESHMEN! They bring new enthusiasm and old fears. The freshmen class of this year was one of the biggest in a while and were welcomed with open arms. There was a total of around 250, com- pared to last year 200 . . . well? The freshmen seem- ed to invade the campus with new style and eagerness to Experience Excellence. Few realize that each new class builds something more on the cornerstone of George Fox College. This years class of 1991 is the Centennial class. What a way to begin (HI Barbie McCuen, Fresh- man. Orientation is necessary for freshmen; however, I survived just fine without it. On my second night here I broke my arm and had to go home, missing part of Orient- ation. Aaron Howard, Fresh- man. Not available for comment. Andrea Dorr, Fresh- man. I love the school! I was impressed that everyone was so eager to help carry in my box- es of junk!
