“Mms-sana in gQrporc.saiiQ,” A sound mind in a sound body—that’s what sports were all about. And, whether we actively participated or just watched from the sidelines, we all seemed to enjoy those organized athletics. There was the excitement of cheering for your favorite team or player, and there was also that thrill of competitive spirit that welled up when you were out there, playing. There was always a lot to do—parties, concerts, dances, plays. Social events could be created at a moment’s notice, commemorating any holiday or event that might strike your fancy. A first day of spring party or an impromptu dance contest in-a dorm room. These festivities could also be part of time-honored traditions, occasions marked year after year. But these celebrations never lost their freshness or vitality, and we enjoyed them each year anew. We finally left that place, that place where we spent four years growing and learning, experiencing happiness and pain, winning and losing, laughing and crying. But always living. 12
