Togetherness . . . That ' s why we ' re Riley e v and old friends talked excitedly of summer vacations and caught up on summer activities before embarking on a new school year of fun. Underclassmen exchanged school pictures and laughed over them, elections were held for class officers, and the seven elected Homecoming Queens eagerly awaited their special night. A barrage of sports activ- ities were underway: football, cross country, volleyball, and tennis. The newly fonned soc- cer club struggled for recogni- tion and acquired a record of many victories and few defeats. Foreign exchange students blended into Riley life, partici- pating in various clubs and singing the school song at the pep assemblies. Rileyites cheered as Kansas performed at the ACC in the early fall. A the- atrically-inclined group began work on the fall drama produc- tion, By Jupiter. It seemed that Rileyites were never idle for a moment. The hustle and bustle of the students was very much alive. LAURA LEE KEAYS practices for jazz band concert.

O a X Z the old and the new A little over two centuries ago, a small exploratory expedition headed by a Frenchman named LaSalle canoed up a small river in the wilderness of frontier America. He camped in a spot which he would later name South Bend. If LaSalle could canoe up that river again, he would hardly recognize the spot. Welcome to South Bend, the progressive city. That welcome billboard is becoming truer every year as redevelopers rebuild and rediscover the city. This year proved to be one of transition for our community, as urban development and social reform became promi- nent. The big hole was filled as construction for the Marriott Hotel complex finally began. As always, the University of Notre Dame con- tributed its share of educational and cultural growth to the area throughout the year. The new and the old worked together to form a stronger South Bend.
