A It was the best of times! It was the trip to Puno, Peru made by 15 students and 6 fa- culty staff members. We left on May 13, 1986 to travel to a village high in the Andes mountains to build an elemen- tary school. We built the school from the foundation to the roof with our hands. We worked hand in hand with the Peruvians and made many long-lasting friends in the pro- cess. This school will stand long after we, the builders, are gone. It will stand not only as a place for children to learn their ABC ' s, but as a monu- ment to the best in humanity — the giving of oneself to make the world a better place The worst of the best? Get- ting used to cold showers, no electricity, and primitive bathroom facilities (if any). The best of the best? Experi- encing a new and different culture, building friendships that will last a lifetime, and making a lasting contribution to the world for the better- ment of mankind. — Nancy Semones Wonder what they are up to!

PROLOGUE . . . A TEP PDRWARO Freshmen students encounter many new names, new faces, and new beginnings as they enter the world of college life. To make them feel more at home, Lenoir-Rhyne offers an orienta- tion program at the beginning of the school year called Prologue. Prologue gives the students a chance to meet new friends and to get to know the campus better. The Prologue leaders are upperclass students who are interest- ed in the needs of their fellow students. They serve as guides and friends to the new freshmen. Some of the activities that were included in this year ' s Pro- logue consisted of: a movie, a dance, a scavenger hunt, a pizza party, a band concert, a beauty contest, a reception at President Trainer ' s house, and a trip to the ropes course. Mike Shakleford and Marty Blocker were student coordinators for this year ' s Prologue, and thirty-three upperclass students served as leaders. Live on stage — Dean Ed Lewis entertains students during a skit. This takes skill — These freshmen students seem to be getting off to a well-balanced start on the balance beam. 22 Student Life
