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.
