editorial: eighty-three. «=■ . -EDITORWti+’SS.- 9 ........................ ------------------------------ I ! tlE Junior year of ’83 rounds out the silver cresent, that another year will bring to the full. We have passed the turning stake of college -- life and now pause to take breath while we review with pride the achievements of the last two years and gird ourselves anew for the tasks that yet remain.

But we still enjoy our Junior year, and consider it the happiest of our course thus far; for it adds many a strand of good social feeling, jollity 38
