College is not always an easy endeavor. The requirements of college can be very demanding ana often extremely frustrating. Frequently, we get too caught up in the pressures and problems of college life to remember the many special aspects that distinguish Salem from other colleges. It is for this reason that the theme of the 1986 Sights and Insights reminds us that, There s only one you. Salem offers a young woman an extremely valuable liberal arts education. Though she is not the only college that offers this type of education, no other college teaches us quite like Salem does. The professors and students not only have the traditional student-teacher classroom relationship, but often a special kind of friend- ship as well. The professors here are not only concerned with our educational development, but also with our personal development; they help us with problems both in and out of the classroom. The social life here at Salem is also unique, offering many opportunities for friendships to begin and grow. Various dances and mixers are held throughout the year that both students and faculty attend. In addition, traditions like Big- Sister, Little-Sister allow us to form special and lasting friendships with our classmates. Other events such as Fall Fest, Parents ' Weekend, and Father- Daughter weekend allow us to share good times with friends and family. Also, Salem- sponsored weekend trips, such as camping and rafting outings, give students opportunities for fun off-campus. Many other aspects distinguish Salem from other colleges, including our family-style dinners, the small size of the campus and class- rooms, January term, self-scheduled exams, and the special events that occur at Christmas. Our honor system and student-run government are also very important to Salem. But possibly the most special aspects of Salem are the friendships that develop here. These friendships follow us through the good and bad times of college life, and will always remain special in our memories. It is not always easy to take time out of our busy schedules to take advantage of everything that makes Salem such a special place. We hope that this years annual will serve as a reminder of Salem ' s importance. Salem allows us to grow as unique individuals, yet still remain a family . And as we travel past college life, a part of Salem will always be with us. (upper left) Erin Growney, as seen through a rear view mirror, enjoys a nice hreak from class on campus.
