College days were special. It was a time to explore life and new ideas. It was a time to take classes that led to career decisions. A favorite story among the faculty was the one about a freshman who came eager to be a nuclear physicist. The student took the hours required in the degree program as well as the general education classes in art, history, English and math. After the semester ended, the student chose to major in English education and became a top student in tha field. College days were a time to look at new ideas.

School pride showed in the fine work on a term paper to the excellent spirit displayed at athletic events. School pride showed in the faces of people with a common goal: a good education. School pride was Southeastern. The blue and g tradition lived on in the hearts of the faculty, staff, administration as well as the students. That pride was translated into school loyalty. Everywhere on campus, our pride was showing! 10 - Pride
