From the Desk of the Unonian n the following pages is the reflection of the per- sonality of Mount Union's 1986- 87 school year, unique in its own. Enjoy this collection of memories of your collegiate years at Mount Union as you consider our theme ‘‘Would we do this all again?’’ Laugh or cry, but don’t ever forget some of the best years of your life. For this annual may reach its true value a few years down the road, as you wipe the dust off the binding, taking a couple of moments to melt into the world that was home for four or five years ... wondering, “Would we do this all again?” Upper left: Senior Kurt Jennings attempts a goal towards the OAC Soccer crown.
