and Jennifer zany ennifer Kelly was an extraorv dinary student for whom excelling was a part ef her everyday life Jen. nifcr will always be remembered by the students of Goucher as a woman who possessed a unique balance of commitment, sensitivity, drive and eagerness. The hole created by the 1053 of Jennifer in this yearis graduating class can only be filled by the warm and special memories she left us dur ing her presence at Goucher. Residents of Gallagher recall the beat of Jenniferls typewriter which was so often heard from the early hours of the evening through until the early hours of the morning e llAnothet Psyche paper done! she would exclaim. Jennifer was welI-loved by everyone and especially her friends in Gallagher who often launged on her earthy-colered, shaggy rug and enjoyed a friendly conversation. Members of the Gaucher community share a great loss, but will always remember Jennifer warmly. A Personal Tributeto Jennifer Kelly from Jean Bradford Jennifer was a small, frail, fragile young woman. Yet there was and is within her an immense psychological strength, self. determination and just plain gutsiness! She manifested a strong sense of purpose in life, especially to help others, specifically women and children whu had been used and abused in our patriarch society. Although her heart went out to the victims in our society, there was nothing in Jenniferls spirit that was gor ing 10 be held down by cultural constraints. I will always remember and admire Jennifer for the power of her person and her courage and conviction to make this Earth more liveable for all. A Tribute to Jennifer Kelly from Alma Elizabeth Nugent; I first met Jennifer Kelly when she enrolled as an auditor in English 220 during the spring of 1982. From the time l read her first essay, I found Jenniferis writing skills excellenti She always submitted interesting, vivid, and polished pieces. Throughout the term, as I came to know her better, Jennifer impressed me as a sensitive, caring, and dedicated in- dividual who was willing to help others whenever she could. Jenniferis writing skills were so strong, her interpersonal skills so effective, I decided to ask her to train to become a tutor in the Writing Center, When she agreed, I was delighted. The extraordinary combination of qualities and abilities Jennifer possessed made her a respected member of the Writing Center who earned the admiration and affection of both the other tutors and the students who came to the Center for assistance. Like others who had the opportunity to know her, I will remember Jennifer as a young woman of generous heart and great spirit.
