COACHING WAS HELPFUL to Kriever and prepared him to talk to the student body on the day labeled Kriever Day. Originally scheduled for Homecoming, Kriever's speech turned the attention back to the football team and led the cheer Two Bits, Four Bits. Thmk lifitcvcv Ol il.5Jld l QQ 4 , A f TRULY OUTSTANDING, was a saying that echoed through the halls during the morning announcements the four years the class of '82 attended school. It was only natural that their farewell slogan would reflect their feelings for Kriever. RULES WERE BROKEN, when students were allowed to sit on lockers and walls the day Kriever gave his farewell speech tothe students in the main mall. The crowd of students assembled on a spontaneous move to show their affection. MIXED EMOTlONS were felt by Kriever as well as faculty and students. He left behind many students who would miss him and assured them that the feeling was shared. KRlEVER X 161
