The first few weeks of the semester were filled with renewing old acquaintances, decorating our rooms and apartments, waiting in long lines at the Union to buy books, and enjoying the last few days of summer. Welcome signs were hung around town and the shop keepers opened their doors anticipating yet another busy year. We noticed a few changes in the surroundings we would call home for the next year — there were new signs on Main St. and Keister Rd. directing us around campus, as well as shrubs, plants and flowers — all in an effort to improve the look of our school. A new school was added to the already diverse curriculum called the College of Information Science and Business Administration. Our years here taught us caring, responsibility and above all opened our minds to new experiences. We were special, we were a cut above the rest. Our dreams were shining, polished by our days spent here together. By Christine Britton Opening Two students enjoy the beauty ol the campus while strolling on one of the last days of summer.

Dr. Robert N Aebersold Photo by Joft McCutchoon As the tower-i n g clock of Old Main chimed at noon, we rushed to the cafes, trying to beat the fifth period rush. Squeaking sneakers, cheerleading chants and a basketball beat could be heard as we cut through the Field House from ECB and Spotts. Any way we looked at it, living in a dorm or apartment, certain buildings combined with the atmosphere to make an impact on us. We scratched its surface and found the campus is a diamond, ours, in a clear cut way. By Lauren Lescott College was more than classes, exams and holidays. The real memories of our years here are etched in the groups we belonged to. Greeks, honoraries, sports, the Rocket and the yearbook were a few of the opportunities available. We accepted responsibilities, not for fame or fortune, but to aid us in our struggle for growth. The finishing touches of leadership, the ability to work as a team and achieve a goal was the polish we so diligently applied. Radio stations, Student Government, Union activities, campus publications — all were run by students who knew that academics was getting our act together, but involvement meant polishing it up 'till it shone.

Opening QpenfrQ History “Past Perfectly Preserved” Take a step back in time and visit Western Pennsylvania in the 1700’s. Sound impossible? Actually it’s very easy, simply visit the Old Stone House. Built in 1822 by John Brown, the house served as a tavern and boarding house. It was also a major stage coach stop and transfer point because of its unique location at the intersection of the Butler-Mercer Pike. A decline in business resulted in the tavern being closed in 1885. The house was rented to families until the early Passing the Old Stone House on the way down Route 8 sorves as a reminder of the history our region possesses.

The University assumed management of the house in February, 1983. The house consists of five rooms, one of which serves as a museum containing artifacts from Western Pennsylvania pioneer life. The remaining four rooms are decorated as taverns from the mid 1700’s through the mid 1800’s. We at the university seek the future eagerly, but keep in touch with our past through the Old Stone House.

Photo by Brad Hillman v-. I Dream-i n g about all the fun activities come and gone brings a smile and an attitude typical of students — we were always sparkling with enthusiasm! Homecoming weekend was the ultimate in crazy, as we stood in the wind and rain, watching feeble attempts at maintaining shelter. How hard we laughed, but no one cared. To us,any weekend started long before Friday. Wednesday night was designated as the beginning of the weekend, and that’s when the sparkle started. How many new friends we made trying to find rides to the Shed. TKE’s held their Ladies’ nights every Wednesday. Thursday night socializing began at Theta Chi Ladies’ night, then continued down Route 8 to Night People’s Place. Enthusiasm would build as we headed to football games, soccer matches, and Rugby tournaments on fun-filled Saturday afternoons. Anyplace we went, socializing and having a great time were parts of the agenda. Saturday night was just the same and the sparkle was still going strong. Whether it was a fraternity party (did we have to be on a list???), Keister, Martha Rose, parties, seeing a good flick in Spotts Auditorium, or enthusiastically making up new dance styles at the Union’s Multi-Purpose Room, socializing was neverend-ing. Our social life here at school was an ongoing variety of events. Looking back on the best people and times, we were above all else a sparkling, enthusiastic group. By Lauren Lescott Academics Clarity of Thought We were apprehensive yet bold, ire p. elated yet cautious — we were freshmen. Remember the first syllabus we received and the dismay that flooded through us as we read the course requirements? We made it though, but not on our own. Our goals were I as varied as the programs. Long known for its capabilities of producing teachers, we now excelled in physical education, communication and numerous sciences. Professors produced a clarity of thought where there was confusion. They opened worlds to us and made dreams a possibility and possibilities a reality. Our sparkle is but a reflection of their shine. By Annette Jacob Back to the basics.

The changes took place in us so slowly we barely noticed them. We evolved from raw. hesitant freshmen to bold, polished seniors. We were diamonds in the rough that emerged as shining jewels. As carbon molecules formed the compound coal, we as individuals made up the student body. Like compound coal, time helped us transform into brilliant diamonds, a cut above the rest. We arrived at SRU from across the country and the corners of the globe looking like pages from Seventeen magazine. Jamming to the latest videos from MTV. we were cool, we were bad. and we were carbon copies of each other. Slowly the individuals in us surfaced. Long hair, rap music, pierced ears, jocks, preps, we we re all undergoing a private metamorphosis. Attitudes were changing. Prejudice's were examined and discarded. We learned that other cultures had meaning and beauty, and vowed to make our world a better one. by Annette Jacob Tony Zarella stands unique in the crowd.

Photo by Brian Matals The rhythm of the drums drowned out the wind and rain beating against the windows of the University Union. Music cut across the years and made us all respond to the mood of Homecoming Most conversations were about the parade: Who would win? Would it still be raining? But no one questioned if it would be fun, the answer to that was evident! Parade morning was wet and drizzly as students lined the streets and porches to view the procession. Kraus Hall, Sheetz. and Tinker's Dam were favorite gathering places. Participants passing here received enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. The royal court consisted of Eileen Paris. Shari Kramer, Ryta Miris-ciotti, Michelle Coleman, and Janet Jamison as Homecoming Queen candidates. Dark clouds could not dampen the enthusiasm for Homecoming at the Rock. Alumni arrived Friday night as a rainstorm bathed the birthplace of their memories. Students laughed excitedly about week-end plans as they clustered in groups to ward off the chilling rain as they created their own memories. The Shed was a great place for memories, both old and new Here, one could meet or make friends as they fueled their anticipation with their favorite beverages The Homecoming theme was Music Through the Years. and the dance Friday evening was a great way to say it.

Steve Carpenter. and Bill Chondruang. The long hours of planning and labor were worthwhile as prizes were awarded. The mini-float award went to Alpha Sigma Tau Kappa Delta Rho, and in the giant float category. Pi Kappa Phi took first place. The car entry award was captured by WSRU while Bard Hall walked away with first place in the banner category. Under the Special Groups category, the clerical staff showed their creativity with a mini float that won first place. The theme of Homecoming was depicted best by these winners and proved to us that the music may change, but the feelings it creates doesn't. Of course, what would a parade be without our own Marching Rockets who marched off with first place in the band category. Despite mishaps, rain and chilling temperatures, another Homecoming memory was created Now the cheers wore turning to soccer and football — the best was yet to come, and oh. how we would shine. But first, a trip to the Shed to dry off and warm up. then on to the tailgating! Tailgating is as traditional as Homecoming and this year was no exception Dampness didn’t hamper the Booters as the men’s soccer team triumphed over the California Vulcans 2-1.

Halftime activities involved the long-awaited announcement of Homecoming King and Queen. Cheers and applause flreeted Shari Kramer and Paul Kuszaj as they accepted their crowns. SRU had royalty — move over Chuck and Di! Victory celebrations were held at the Shed where alumni and students toasted their winners. Homecoming wasn't over yet. we wanted to end the weekend with laughter, and laughter meant George Carlin. George Carlin arrived on campus (much to the relief of John Bonando, Director of Student Life) and leisurely acquainted himself with the Rock. Carlin performed before 1800 people, most of them students, who rocked the fieldhouse with laughter that will echo down our corridor of time. Echoes return to us like the memory of this homecoming. We showed our pride in this weekend, the parade of talent, expertise in our sports, laughter, fun. and even the rain. Through it all, the Rock was shining with warmth and friendship. We were Indeed a cut above the rest.

Saturday's activities were launched with a parade led by the Slippery Rock High School Marching Band. The morning activities helped heighten everybody's appetite and the delicious aromas from Main Street were too tempting. Delights such as funnel cakes, bean soup, sausage and hamburgers, plus the prized bake goods, awaited the hungry crowd. A square dance topped off the day's events.

Farrell’s expertise comes from his role as chairman of the Committee of Concern for Central America — a group of media professionals who believe that U S foreign policy of Central America doesn’t include an understanding of the problems these people face. His biggest concern was that we would find ourselves embroiled in another Vietnam. Visits to such places as El Salvador. Nicaragua, and the Soviet Union make Farrell realize that we cannot ignore the world, but must become committed to improve it. Farrell cares about people, regardless of race, sex or religion. Mankind must stop viewing each other through borders, instead we must react to people, not countries. Being human is what It's all about. Let the world hear our voice as one united sound defying hunger, war. and poverty. By Scott McGuire Orators Mike Farrell John Dean John Dean, former council to President Richard M Nixon, spoke to us about the Watergate break-in and the attempted cover-up that followed. Dean confided that it was easy to rationalize his actions — this was for the president. The MPR was crowded as Dean told the mixed group of students, professors and public of his awe of the Oval Office. He was advised, by other White House staff that he was in the big leagues and was surprisingly naive. Dean told the quiet audience that he met men like G. Gordon Liddy. who were so consumed with power that he wanted to kidnap anti-war (Vietnam) leaders to save Nixon from being embarrassed while on campaign. Dean's decision to testify to the Watergate Committee became a reality when he realized that John Mitchell was to take the blame for the break-in and Dean was to take the blame for the cover-up. The president's tapes were an effort to create a “reality that didn’t exist. Watergate crumbled of its own weight. By Annette Jacob “There was a Watergate mentality ... I saw power at its best and I saw power at its worst.’’ John Dean Orators Dance Dance Dance Whether it was Reggae. Rap or Rock n' Roll, we were at the MPR to dance.

Leading the team were co-captains Sue Kunkle and Margi Koramaus along with junior Randi Smith. Highlights of the season were the quality tournaments the team participated in.

Jan Kasnevich is pleased with the overall enthusiasm and attitudes of the players. We have a lot of excitement and internal motivation for being such a young team, said Kasnevich. The team will miss senior Co-Captains, Gail Conway. JoMarie Scerbo and Carol Gallop. Coach Kasnevich felt these players were dedicated leaders and set a good example for younger team members. Also contributing to the team's spirit was sophomore MaryBeth Chester, who was named to the LI) HOCKEY MidEast Three Team, and who also participated in the National Tournament in Virginia Beach. VA. Increasing their schedule to 13 games this season. Kasnevich was delighted with the challengers, which included teams such as Kutztown. Car-negie-Mellon. IUP. and Chatham College. She felt by playing in the league with such stiff competition, it brought out the best in the team. Coach Kasnevich is looking forward to the season next year.

This defensive powerhouse was due to the performances by team co-captains, seniors Matt Veres and Steve Carpenter along with senior Matt Budz and sophomore Dan Campbell.

No coach can ask for more than that. Every woman played two levels higher than normal at the PSAC State Tournament, said Coach Jennifer Lindsay. This season, the team not only remained tough against such Division I schools as. Pitt. Robert Morris and Du-quesne, but also placed in the top ten in the PSAC. which was the strong conference in 1986. A highlight for the ‘86 season and individual team members, was winning the Silver Cup at the PSAC for doubles. The doubles team included Captain Dawn Carlson and Gretchen Hartman. Coach Lindsay feels that next season the team will be young because so many seniors are graduating. We have two new freshman players coming to the Rock which will make a difference on the ladder of team members. Hopefully, this will bring in a higher level of competitive tennis. stated Coach Lindsay optimistically. By Jill Sipes Awaiting to volley the serve. Linda Chavkin studys her opponent's style.

It was a crisis often experienced by those of us who were lucky (?) enough to own our own cars. No matter how early we happened to arrive on campus, someone else would have the best parking spaces. Soon after arriving at SRU, we realized we were no longer individuals, for we were given repressive auto-owner titles such as Resident and Commuter (those who were Staff or Visitors were the elite of our group.) We were given stickers to place on our vehicles, marking us, making it obvious to everyone (especially the University Police) that we were parked in an illegal spot. An illegal spot meant any parking lot not designated to correspond with the sticker on your car. which often resulted in a fine of $5. Where were these misbegotten funds used? The mystery remains unsolved. By Laurie Ratvasky At the wrong place, at the wrong time — another ticket is issued. Photo by Brian Matais I Frustration takes over as a student smashes the evidence!

The majority of pieces were choreographed by students whose creative use of lines and geometric designs in pieces like Inside and Out by Sherry Amos and “Far too Hard by Rosanna Victor, were exciting. Not only did the choreographers use different types of movement, they experimented with all kinds of music. From classical to funky and Raja to Streisand, the audience never knew what to expect next. Audience and dancers alike got to have fun with Kim Phillip’s Can Can .

Janet Jackson fans got a treat and brought the crowd to its feet as “Chili Sauce, the lip-sync group, jammed to a medley of Control and Nasty. The precision of words, motions, and instrument-playing, as well as hot dance moves, won this group a well-deserved first place. Second place went to Duran Duran and The Reflex. This believable, creative group put on quite a performance, which was loved by the audience. Third place went to the group who performed Wham’s “Do It With Me.

Besides their obvious charm and poise both winners excelled in the talent competition. Freeman seduced the audience by playing a classical flute solo while Dabney left the audience breathless with his dramatic interpretation about the life of Malcom X.

Heading the Netter's were co-captains Joe Cappellino and Mike Bates, who both heavily contributed to the third place finish in the PSAC. McFarland is optimistic for the ‘88 season due to five returning lettermen, who will probably assume leadership responsibilities.

Coach •'It’s been a trying year, but we gained a lot of experience due to the players having to take on new positions, said first-year coach, Hope Roberts. It was an injury plagued season for the team with All-American Cheryl Ann Lassin out for most of the season. A fundamental lack of leadership and experience resulted because the inexperienced players had to jump in and make vital decisions. The team is looking forward to next year when they can put their past experiences to good use and show what they can do. Returning next year are Pat McPartland. who led the team with 26 goals. Marlene Hall with 20 goals, and center Joan Nather and her consistent performance. We now have a core of experienced players and along with successful recruitment, we should be tough next year. by Jill Sipes Heading into the action are Patty McPartland (89) and Patty Swanson (83) Photo by Mlko Dougherty Trying for a score the Rock moots the challenger.

Coach Jeff Messer said. It hurt, after we defeated nationally ranked Point Park we had the attitude that we could win it all. The season, however, was successful with a closing record of 16-4 and they became PSAC-West Champions. Outstanding performances go to senior pitcher Ron Wasko. who was named PSAC Pitcher of the Year for the second year in a row and Willie Fillard. who emerged as a pro prospect. The '88 season will start with a lot of inexperienced players as 12 seniors leave the team. These seniors compile the entire infield and several pitchers. Messer quickly adds that.

Coach Al Schmittlein was especially impressed by the performance of junior Art Brunn, who, as Schmittlein put it. was the only one who came close to bringing the course to its knees. This earned Brunn the Individual First Place Honors. Junior Mike Wyland, sophomore Gordon Vietmeier and freshman Bunky Miller added more highlights by placing in the Top 16.

It's the quality that counts, not the quantity. The team had dwindled to 15 members by season’s end. Contributing to their success were All-American Patty Davis. National Qualifier Kathleen Daily, and PSAC 400 Meter champ Captain Jill Sipes. Sophomore Deb Mollick. Rachel Wendell, Reaver Nelson, and others aided the Lady Rockets in their super winning season. It's going to be hard to follow a team like this year’s, but it’s going to give us something to strive for — remaining the best. said Papa. by Jill Sipes Taking a deep breath and waiting for the gun is the longest moment Photo by Brian Matais Track Field Men It was kind of unbelievable in a sense! said Coach John Papa of what was the most dramatic finish in the history of the Pennsylvania Conference Track Field Championship meet. Coming from behind, the men edged out favored Edin-boro to win the title in the final event. Top performances of the season were a 220 ft. javelin throw by All-American Jim Geist. which ranked 2nd in the nation.

Conversations overheard in halls referred to the professors’ heritage, and who still didn't have the book, but we learned. Discussions of theories, equa-sions. and formulas were common. as students gathered in the cafes and Union. We learned slowly that the professors did understand — and that they had so much to offer. Whether it came in the form of classroom rhetoric or personal advice, many of us came to realize that we could trust these people who would teach us about life. We were exposed to so many different things. People from other states, countries and ethnic backgrounds. Political ideologies and views on things such as the Iran Contra scandal. All in the on-going learning process. We learned that education was not just found in books, but in ourselves and our surroundings. We had made the right choice — we chose the Rock.

Signs were now a thing of the past in ECB. The new dean would not allow this, instead bulletin boards were provided for clubs. The smell of fresh paint and the feel of new upholstery became a part of the lounge in ECB. Change was in the air and it brought excitement with it. Pride was growing. not just as separate departments. but as a unit working together. We were a part of the new age, a fresh and better tomorrow The new college embraced departments such as. communication, economics, computer science, accounting. and marketing manage-ment.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Academics PASSPORT to the World Slippery Rock University International Study Program Our passport to the world was the International Study program organized by Stan Kendziorski. Beside the on-going programs of study, two additional ones were added this year. Student teaching in Ireland or learning at Shanghi University, China were a part of our choices for the first time. The new College of Information Sciences and Business Administration were included in the international program as a program for internships benefitting the college’s curriculum. The internships will take place in London. England, giving participants the chance to deal with a diverse group of people. Foreign Flair! Shanghi representative. Dr. Hu. The most prestigious event occurring this year was the signing of an exchange agreement with Shanghi University of China. Dr. Hu. president of Shanghi University was present for the notable signing. Following the signing ceremony was a reception to honor the occasion. There, faculty, staff, and students met Dr. Hu and learned more about his school. This year SRU had 92 international students representing 42 countries. Pending is an exchange agreement with Korea that could enhance our far east connections. The goal of the International Study Program is 125-150 students yearly. by Annette Jacob Also represented at SRU is Ireland. Another from the Far East — this time from Japan. “Progress in International Studies will expand in the future with a new emphasis on the far east and we will continue to bring a diverse population to the campus.” Stanley Kendziorski Academics When you first meet Dr. Robert N. Aeber-sold the warmth of the individual comes through. Students are greeted with a large, sincere smile and a firm handshake. His whole manner tells you that he cares and wants to help. Dr. Aebersold’s dedication to the student and the institution have created a family'' atmosphere to learn in and work in. Aebersold learned about SRU from a hands-on experience. He is the first president to have served as a faculty member. It all began with the Physical Education department where he advanced to the rank of professor. He later served as chairperson of the same department. The next step in his academic journey was to serve as Vice President for Academic Affairs and eventually acting president. His appointment as President of SRU assured us of quality and caring leadership for all involved. by Annette Jacob Academics G R A D U This was it. The final step. All those hours of studying, writing papers and taking tests were finally coming to a close. We were going to be graduates of this University. and the time seemed to have slipped through our hands. Even as we bought our caps and gowns and announcements, it didn't seem possible that the time had come to walk across the stage and receive our diplomas from Dr. Aebersold. Our futures were in our hands now as we prepared and sent out cover letters and resumes' to prospective employers Some of us chose to continue our educa- A T rO N throughout the country. It all seemed so far removed from Keister parties. Bob's Subs and the Shed. The final days at the Rock were spent collecting mementos of the time here — Sweatshirts, t-shirts, photographs, addresses. and phone numbers were among the things we wanted in order to preserve the memories we had made. As freshmen, we missed our homes and the people we left behind. As seniors, we would miss our new home, but the people would always be with us.

Mom and Dad told us to. get involved, do something. and so of course we did nothing. Shaking the dust off. we decided to jump in eventually, and found that the university needed our assistance in providing programs for students. We went to Senate meetings, wrote for the Rocket, helped with Madrigals, and joined in the Greek organizations to help in their causes. We helped with Special Olympics, theatre pro- joined academic fraternities and honoraries. became campus ambassadors and orientation group leaders, and played in the Marching Rockets Band. Some of us participated in athletics with hopes of winning the State Championships or playing against an Ivy League school. Whatever the organization or group, we had responsibilities that required our best efforts and time. We also created many friendships and had fun.

The weather was perfect, the stands were filled with parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, in addition to assorted relatives and friends. They traveled from four continents to celebrate the success of the class of 1987. The pre-commencement music provided by the Musician's Concert Band under the direction of Blase (Mr. S) Scarnati echoed across the chair-lined football field. Later, the conferring of degrees was accompanied by an aerial display of mortarboards. the popping of corks and the subtle sniffling as the end of an era arrived. Yes, we did it!

S.R.U.'s Olhcer-in-Charge (Army ROTC) Major Lee Kichen bids farewell to cadets he helped to prepare tor their future duties. Commissioning The boauty ol North Hall's architecture is only enhanced by the setting the campus providos Photo by Carl Feola North Hall North Hall was one of three original buildings of Slippery Rock Normal School built in 1889. The hall, a three story building with 150 rooms, served as the woman's residence, complete with a reception room, dining hall, and kitchen. In 1984 it was enlarged and remodeled. The L-shaped hall was changed to an E-shaped one. large enough to house 300 students. Other revisions included the addition of a Norman. Gothic and Turkish tower. Tragedy struck the building in 1937. During Homecoming weekend in October a fire broke out in the early morning hours. One hundred and sixty-seven women and faculty escaped without injury, but the hall was almost entirely destroyed. Plans to rebuild the residence hall were included in a college expansion plan. The new building was completed about a year later and boasted a main lounge with a fireplace, a large modern kitchen and a dining room and music room furnished with a grand piano. Housed in the new building was the college infirmary and apartments for the nurse, matron and dietician. North Hall has charm, character, and charisma. We sunbathed on its lawn, traded embraces on the steps, and dreamed our private dreams in its rooms. Year after year it has sheltered us from not only the elements, but life’s blows. by Laurie Ratuasky 210 North Hall North Hall's back lawn becomos a gridiron lor greek football as the brothers try to score.

For Seniors, feelings of elation were in the air as well as ones of sadness. We were glad to be finished but the realities of the real world” set in. No longer could we rely on others to plan our lives. For the past four years, our days were filled with classes, taking tests, writing papers, doing internships, student teaching. participating in athletics. greek and student organizations, and going to social functions. (We ate and did our laundry too!) Now. however, we were challenged with finding gainful employment and having to support ourselves. It wasn’t going to be easy but we knew this was the time we had waited for. Phrases like. Have a nice summer,” Don't forget to write.” or “Do you have a job yet?” were heard all over campus during those last weeks on campus.

Ministry scandal. Gary Hart's withdraw from the presidential race, and the deaths of many greats such as Rita Hayworth and Danny Kaye. William Casey and Bud Dwyer died tragically and Prince Andrew and Sara Ferguson celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Phrases heard among students v ere. Isn’t that special?” (from the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live), and Awesome!”, (a term referring to better than great). At the Rock. Mr. Mark Shir-ing of Curriculum Instruction retired after 25 years of service. and Wellness was a theme drummed into our heads. We saw the arrival of Dr. Frank Mastrianna as Dean of the new college of Information Science and Business Administration. New trees, flowers. shrubs, sidewalks and signs were planted and installed, all in the campus beautification effort. The past two semesters came and went, just as they had for the past 98 years. About to close out the past century of tradition and learning. the Rock has seen a metamorphosis. First as Slippery Rock Normal School, then Slippery Rock State Teachers College. Slippery Rock State College and finally, in 1983, Slippery Rock University. We were all an integral part of the process that helped form us into unique individuals — polished and ready for the pressures of society.

That's what it seomed like — until now anyway The deadlines are met and I'm hard prossod to find words that express the way I feel about all the long hours spent in the Saxigena office I can. however, identify with Chartos Dickens as he wrote in The Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of times, it was tho worst of times. The worst of times soom out-woighod by the best though. Even after the most confusing and anxious moments. I know there was light at the end of the tunnel It wasn't as bright a few times, but I could see it nevertheless. I did not venture into this project alono and foel I could not have learned as much or as quickly had it not been for our fearless leador Tim Walters. He always came through in the end. C T Miller taught me as much about yearbooking as I had learnod in four years of college, and for that I am grateful. To the staff. I enjoyed getting to know each of you this year You all have unique personalities which enabled us to compile a yearbook full of exciting and innovative pagos Annette, your ability to write amazes me. You wore always able to make an event come alive and appear exciting. Angie. I thought we'd never balance the budget until you came along! Your responsible attitude was the key to managing the business end of the yearbook. Frank. I knew you were a winner. All the endless hours in the darkroom paid off — you made the pages worth looking at and created memories for many Laurie, you came aboard last and Jumped right in Even though you're leaving SRU. a part of you will always remain in the pages of Saxigena.
