II ■ Student life at Millersville was more than just the party life that we all think of when we think of the 'Ville ■ It was Homecoming. Parent's Day. moving in, and studying ■ It was also building strong friendships that we hoped could last a lifetime ■ Millersville. although located in a strongly traditional area, was a center for trends from hair to clothing, to forms of transportation ■ Sure, we partied-in Brookwood. E-courts, Cottages, and outside at the Bush, but we took other things seriously, too ■ We gave up meals for the homeless, donated clothing, and volunteered to help with the Special Olympics ■ We received awards, attended cultural events, and became aware of the ever growing problems of our society ■ Life at the 'Ville was not all parties and blowing off classes, contrary to the popular belief of most of the non collegiate population ■ We were not only carefree, but also concerned adults in the process of building our futures ■ We proved that you can not generalize when dealing with people ■ We became proof of the old saying don'l judge a book by its cover! ■ ©o©®©©o Student Life Divider • 7

Dinner in Lyle Dining Hall just isn’t complete for Lynn Cincotta. Kate Evans. Jenni Ellidge, Kim Phillips, and Julie Luneburg until they hang out on the wall in front of the dorm and scope for an hour or so. The wall provided entertainment for those who wanted to digest their food before digging into the books for the night.

Each student had his own favorite way to study whether it was a favorite chair or certain music. Photo by Patrick Morgan ■ (top) Mail or no mail, this girl won’t be happy until she secs for herself. Whether it was letters from family and friends or bills from AT T, everyone hoped for mail daily.

Students Partied through Graduation by Patrick Morgan V6, Bro. we re having a party at 16E. Invite your friends and come on out.” Yes. there was a lot of this going around towards the end of the semester this year, as in the past. Many people had parties as a way to say goodbye for the summer to a lot of friends or maybe as a celebration of graduation. It seemed that a lot of seniors kept up with the tradition of getting hammered the night before graduation, after all their finals were done and all they had to do now was put on their cap an gown and show up on time. Underclassmen attended these affairs, especially after their finals were over, to end the year with a smash. If they were lucky, their finals were done Wednesday and they had Wednesday. Thursday, and if staying over for graduation. Friday night to party. For many, this was the last chance to do any serious drinking before going to live at home and work, which for some that was all they did and would have to wait all summer drink again. Yet others made use of this time spending it with their special person, but. rest assured, in some manner they still partied. The final parties would seem to be a time of a lot of boozing and maybe some sadness as friends said goodbye, but in most cases. After many hours of Intense partying. Marianne Kuhl can only put her hand to her head and try to remember the events of the last one or two days of spring f inals 88.Many students partied throughout finals week regardless of exams and regretted it the next morning. Photo by Patrick Morgan this was not so. Actually, the parties were very upbeat and hopeful. People said goodbye but spirits were high as they also made plans to write, call or meet somewhere for a little vacation at the shore. Still others made bigger plans to live and work at the shore together. In all this plan- ning for the future, friends still found time to reminisce about events past and results from classes. All in all. the final parties were a chance for friends to get together and share a special evening to carry them through till next semester or until they meet again.
