But when once again united as a class, we found that our different journeys had deepened our sense of our- selves and each other and our knowledge of the world; and so with new confidence we anticipated our final year and future careers. In the fall of 1986 in the Cap and Gown Ceremony, the College recognized our past achievements and future dedication. We for our part felt confident that the faculty who had taught and guided us, had also given us the freedom to choose our own paths; and given us as well the tools to apply our knowledge to the real world. Freedom to develop ourselves in a liberal arts environment had helped us to chart our own courses for the future: by indirections, to find direction out. We shall leave Regis, knowing that our journey is con- tinuing, with the hope that we shall continue to make creative and constructive use of what we have learned here. We trust that through life ' s mazes, each of us will have the truth and courage in her always to choose the good way. We leave our Alma Mater knowing that it has made all the difference. And so we embark . . . Healthy, free, the world before me The long brown path before me Leading wherever I choose.

I n September of 1983, the various paths of our class converged on the Katsura-lined drive to Regis Col- lege where we were welcomed by the smiles and helping hands of the Orientation Committee. Un- certain then of who we were and what we wanted to be, we began our journey towards our discovery of self and the exploration of knowledge. In our sophomore year we faced the decision of se- lecting a major; a turbulent time of frantic phone calls to parents, late night counseling sessions with upper classwomen, and numerous meetings with faculty ad- visors. Then there was the adjustment and re-adjust- ment of courses until we became comfortable with our newly-chosen path. As Juniors, strenthened by the traditional Ring Ceremo- ny, celebrating our friendship and unity as a class, we began to explore alternative paths and new direc- tions. Some of us ventured abroad to experience new cultures and greater independence. Others of us en- riched our theoretical knowledge of the classroom by the practical experience of internships in the areas of broadcast journalism, business-management, and public relations. The Riverside trolley station became the meeting place for many commuting Regis interns. Two roads diverged in a narrow wood, and I— I Took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference (Robert Frost) Directions Theme: Directions

Orientation U pon August ' s end, the largest Orientation Committee in Regis history returned to campus. Six- ty of the college ' s most enthusiastic individuals set out to orient the transfer students and the class of 1990! The theme of Orientation ' 86 was That ' s What Friends Are For. As the week progressed, friendships that will Orientation last a lifetime developed. The commit- ment and energy which the members exemplified in these five days set the pace for the entire year. Those who had the opportunity to be involved in Orientation ' 86 were an example of true Regis pride. Beth Wales
