he Siena Spirit is reflected in every aspect of campus life. Students show their enthusiasm at basketball games, in class discussions and through their own personal reflections. Campus Ministry helps keep the spirit of Saint Francis alive. The message of peace, selflessness and brotherhood is relived everyday at Siena. We find peace in our surroundings and each other. Our friendships and relationships challenge our selflessness and nourish a bond of brotherhood. These characteristics are nurtured during our short stay at Siena and carry on with us long after we leave. We find that the spirit follows us wherever we go. People who may never have visited our campus and experienced Siena firstvhand can still get a good idea of what living here is like. We take a special part of Siena with us everywhere. Opening - 15

All am? here is something to be said I about a small independent college. Siena is a place that allows the individual to feel comfortable among familiar surroundings yet encourages that individual to expand their horizons as far as they desire, We grow through our experiences. In building relationships, self-confidence and academic intellect we reflect the positive aspects of growing up. The negative aspects, or Hgrowing pains that we experience are made a little easier here because of the encouragement and sense of belonging that Siena provides. There is a strong familyalike bond between people here. We care about each other e and that makes all the difference in the world. The four years pass so quickly that it doesn't seem possible to have changed or grown from the person that came to Siena as a freshman. Seniors can look back and laugh at the pictures taken freshman year. It is then that we realize just how much we,ve grown. We remember the changes we made and friendships we formed along the way. These four years provide us with valuable experiences. Some are difficult at times but for the most part the memories are golden ones. Opening - 17
