ARE FOR. J college we will allow our minds to think back and remember that special person or time, and for a moment we are back in school and reliving that fun. Friends are people that help us cope with the stress before a mid-term. Help us deal with a relationship that didn ' t quite work out the way we had planned. Help us celebrate our birthdays the way they are supposed to be celebrated. Help us feel that in college we learned the im- portance of others and the impact that they can make on us. Therefore when we do graduate from this institution we carry with us more than simply knowledge and a degree, we carry memo- ries. Memories of that awesome Thille party, a night at the pub, a party in our dorm room, or a night in the city. But no matter what the mem- ory may be, forever we will carry the knowledge that the people we were bonded to in those four years will not simply slip from our minds, they will be there forever as our friends. ■f » Left Page Bottom: Greg Laugero, Julie Pryde, Joe Fit ' simmon.

. THATS WHAT FRIENDS FRIENDSHIP By Lorena Bathey The other night as I sat in my suitemate ' s broken down car in the middle of downtown Oai land, I thought about what friendship really was. It wasn ' t the fact that I spent two hours sitting on the side of the road waiting for the AAA truck to come. It was the fun that we had while we sat there. I realized that this was one of those experiences that someday I would remem- ber and laugh about. One of those times that I heard my friends who had already graduated talk about. This was a memory. Part of the college experience is to establish these memories so that some day one can look back and say, Gosh I remember the time ... ' . College can mean many things to many different people but to everyone it is a time to establish friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime. Special songs, places and experiences will for- ever bond one to another human being. And when we graduate and leave the carefreeness of -£ tii! t i BEER y

THE BELLES RING WITH SPIRIT St. Mary ' s Cheer By Scott Kahl When you think of the eight girls that represent St. Mary ' s College as cheerleaders there are several stereo- types that come to mind. What is a cheerleader, right? Aren ' t they the girls who have been trying since high school to adore themselves while making a futile effort at crowd involvement? Aren ' t they the ones who can get away with a totally ridiculous lack of conversation because their appear- ance makes up for it, well most of the time anyway. In the case of St. Mary ' s cheer squad I am pleased to affirm that stereotypes do not apply in every case. I ' m not going to sit here and write a favorable article for the sake of not making enemies. After all don ' t we all get a little tired of reading stories that tell us the See ' s Candy version of reality. Every group or organization has its good and bad points of which our cheerleaders have both. Rela- tive to what I was used to in high school and have seen at other colleges, however, St. Mary ' s has been gifted with a lot of talent in the past few years. Compared to Santa Clara every one of our girls looks like the best thing to ever hit skirts. Far beyond their level of attractiveness, the St. Mary ' s cheerleaders show both poise and continuous talent in their routines. The amount of practice time they put in is comparative to any athletic team, and they are in fact athletes. There are moments when our athletic teams have (GWEN DOUGLASS)
