Deans Charlie Lincoln, Frank James, and Nancy Alford I just wanted you students to know that you are. right now, living in the greatest years of your lives. Friendships are growing, romances are budding, careers are opening up, and you are molding your future years. What decisions you make now, will plot most of your directions for many years to come. My Challenge to all of you is to always look for the silver lining even when the clouds look their darkest. Positive reactions to everyday oc- cunances tend to make the days go by much better for all of us. Even if you feel you have been run over by someone or something, get up. brush the cinders from your knees, smile, and keep your thoughts on your highest goals. Your friends, goals and aspirations made here at LC, along with the best education provided by some of the best educators available, will follow you throughout your lives, and you will be a richer person because of the efforts. Charlie Lincoln Associate Dean I was asked to write a personal statement to the student body. ' ' I find that difficult to do because this student body is diverse. You are the engineer enrolled in the MBA program, the mid- life mother seeking a nursing degree, the Milli- ken dyer and finisher talcing chemistry courses, the student minister juggling a church and NE- VIIM, and, of course, the traditional residential and, arguable, more worry-free student. Perhaps that is the point. You enrich LaGrange College with your differences. I am uncomfortable and worry when you have problems; I rejoice when you are happy. When you leave LaGrange, de- gree in hand, sometimes there is that bittersweet feeling, at other times, a sigh of relief. I am amazed at how callously indifferent you are to the human needs around you, yet am humbled and embarrassed at times by your doing more and caring more than I. You are a paradox, a conundrum, an enigma, a worry and a delight. Permit me to add one more cliche — get to know yourself. You ' ll be better for it. Dean of the- College DISCOVER IT . . . WHAT A GREAT CHAL- LENGE! Freshmen, I dare you to discover your SEL- F— your best self, the self you really want to be. Now is the time to discover who you are. For you sophomores, discovery and understanding of others should be a daily quest. If you learn to relate well to other people your life will be great- ly enriched. Juniors, discover THE HILL . Higher elevations allow for expanded vision; take in the panorama before you. You are invest- ing your time and effort here so take advantage of every opportunity. And lastly, to the seniors I challenge you to discover the world. You are now on the threshold of all you have studied and worKed toward — GO FOR IT! Use your energy and talents to achieve your goals and dreams. Dean of Student Development Administration 1)
