EXPLORATION 84 Foreward EXPLORATION — 84, Shaw University ' s yearbook for 1984, is symbolic of change and challenge, new vistas, horizons, new quests, visions, searching, seeking and — exploration! Tradition has its virtues — mostly romantic; beliefs, customs, legends — handed down from generation to generation. Yet, tradition has a strange way of stalling in time, stagnating as if bound to a treadmill, moving nowhere in the time continuum. We live in a vast, rapidly changing world now. If we are to keep positive pace we must be open to change. EXPLORATION — 84, then, perched on the final frontier , seeks to go boldly where no man has gone before for we are all star children, wanderers in the infinite cosmos, interstellar travelers on the starship Earth , seeking and searching for meaning and destiny, moving out beyond the traditional boundaries, beyond the solar densities of outer space, past super novas, binaries, and metaphysical galaxies — out into deep space. Come! Ride with us aboard EXPLORATION — 84 as we seek, discover, and forge out new horizons!
