MY CLASS! I think that for once in my life I am really at a loss for »ords. . .nothing really seems appropriate. We have all gone through the same things and had the same experiences, and I am sure we are all the richer. Not a ' l of it has been easy, but then we didn ' t expect it to be, did we? There have been some hard roads to walk, but they were all still travelled right! We have had to go against our better judgement, compromise when it seemed impossible, and be the kind of person we were expected to be, not the kind of person we would like to have been ...this, though was all in two years of learn- ing and experiencing, and sincerely getting to know ourselves and each other. Years from now, when we look back upon the course and this yearbook, it will be remarkable to remember all that has occurred. We will all reminisce about our own particular thing, like a special group of friends, the leaders! Coffee in residence, the first U days of 1968. and the last of 1970. We won ' t think about how hard we found things, or difficult moments, but in the fading of time, only the good will linger and we ' ll recall a special moment in class, or the fun times with the good people we came to know better than most. To all of you I say Thank you for a darn good two years. It wouldn ' t have been that way without you, Le s , Janet, Joan, Wendy, Kathy, Anna Nancy, Judy, Sharon, Marilyn. Jack, Andre, Dodie, Maria, Carol... We have been given more than just a course in University, we have been given an open door to the future! We have also been given the know- ledge of a great many people to use to our ad- vantage . Remember, we have taken a step forward... may you all keep taking them in that direction... To you all: Those who expect more from life than living are lost. B ONN I E
