Students from all walks of life filled the halls and class- rooms with laughter and learning. We were different in lifestyle, color, beliefs, and with the foreign exchange students, we differed in nationality.

Yak Yak. Some people seemed to think that the less said about the most talkative in the class, the better. But there was a lot to be said for the most talkative. No matter how many words the most talkative in the class might say, the one word he'd never be caught saying was “Um ... A genuinely talkative person, by definition, was never at a loss for words. Their supply of words was nearly infinite — and, the odds say that out of anything infinite, something good has to come. The senior class voted Catherine Palumbo and Greg Randall as the peo- ple from their class who al- ways knew just what to say. Shih It's been said before. It’s been said again. A quiet per- son is not a shy person! Ad- mittedly, quiet people tend not to be noticed as much as the people who shout all the time — as Mary Reese said of Rhonda Blackwelder, “Well, she doesn't talk all that often, but | never thought of her as being quiet.” Someone who was quiet could have been just as out- going as the person who talked to everyone in a class- room. They were just a bit more subtle about it. And a quiet person could be trusted with any secret in the world. It was a good feeling, to have someone to talk to who never interrupted, never wanted to shift the subject toward “ME.” They just listened. Patrick Sullivan and Rhonda Blackwelder won the (silent) majority of the senior class — they were voted the quietest in the class of ’88. enior Sounds And Silences GREG RANDALL AND CATHERINE PALUMBO sometimes need help from masking tape to keep their mouths tee RHONDA BLACKWELDER fits right snut. in with the codes of the library. x Sounds Silence} 21
