• • • In The Beginning Robert Browning once wrote, “Burrow awhile and build, brood on the roots of things.” Each year on a bright, September day, softened by the last breath of summer, new freshwomen arrive at Regis College to begin a transitional or building phase in their lives. Each family car, heavy with the weight of a lifetime of paraphernalia, pulls up the long, tree-lined driveway and each new student is warmly greeted by the friendly, smiling faces of Regis upperclasswomen. Thus begins Orientation Weekend, one of the most special traditionsl at Regis College. Orientation at Regis is characterized by more than the endless lectures by faculty and administration members; it consists of more than acquainting new students with buildings and policies; it is highlighted by more than the nervous chattering of new roommates or the creative decorating of the walls of a generally utilitarian cubicle. Orientation provides a unique opportunity for new students to meet some very special old ones: the members of the Orientation Committee. Nancy McGowan, a member of the Class of 1986, and a member of the Orientation Committee for three years best describes her colleagues on the committee: “They are active and outgoing and have a positive outlook on life and on Regis.” Suzanne Young, a member of the Class of 1989, concurs, “I was so impressed that I can’t wait to join the committee next year. The Orientation Committee made me feel right at home. By the third day, I knew I had made the right choice in coming to Regis.” Nancy, however, recalls feeling lonely and isolated during her own Orientation. Part of the reason she applied for a position on the committee her sophomore year was to change that. “I wanted to reach out to the people who were forgotten,” says Nancy. The Orientation Committee has dedicated its seemingly endless energy supply to making the transition to college a smooth one for all new students. The sincerity and warmth of the members alleviates the feeling of fragmentation which hangs heavy on the spirits of the new students. From the moment they arrive on campus the members greet the new students with smiling faces and helping hands. Throughout Orientation Weekend the socials and informal discussions organized by the Committee also help to ease the transition. From the first greetings at the gate, to the smiling faces and helpful advice, to the initiation rite late in the night, the Orientation Committee assists new students in building toward the future. Through the tradition of Orientation, we are all able to capture the true meaning and spirit of Regis. O -Laura A. Kelly 12 McGowan and McLaughlin Movers Unlimited.

Kim, Nancy and Michelle enjoy a special day. Which is the greatest form of love? Which is the truest kind? Some say faith in God above Some say it’s hard to find. Some say that a parent’s care Is more valuable than gold. Some say knowing they’re always there Is a comfort seldom told. Some say it’s only with a friend True happiness is found. With no need to hide or to pretend Some say love will abound. Some say that a friendly smile Is more warming than the sun. Some say this gift lasts awhile; Some say it’s rarely done. Some say that the greatest find Is a love both warm and true. I say this love can be defined Only in each of you. For it’s first in ourselves, you see We must trust, believe, stand tall. For I say, my friends, to believe in me Is the greatest love of all. -Maria P. Menard Andrea Curran reaches another Regis milestone. Ring Ceremony 1 3 Kim Livingstone
