Stern College for Women - Kochaviah Yearbook (New York, NY)

Page 7 text:

• M pYJ Throughout our four years in Stern College, many people have labeled us as Stern Girls. After all, we do go to Stern College for Women. We should consider ourselves lucky young women, since we will all be graduating with an outstanding degree of knowledge. The theme of Aishet Chayil, that we have chosen, is very apropos. Even though we might not realize it at this point, the women of Stern College will emulate many of the women of valor that have been known to us in the past. A few of the women of valor who were outstanding in our eyes were: Sarah Shnerer; the Imahot; Golda Meir; Avital Sharansky and Nechama Leibowitz. Although it might seem abstract to compare the women of Stern College to these women of valor, it is really very tangible. It is our hope that we will be able to apply the knowledge which our Rabbis and teachers have given us to the lives we will lead in the future. We hope that with G-d ' s help, our studies of Kashrut, Taharat Hamishpacha, Psychology, English . . . , will guide us to the right path of life. It is with what we have learned from our faculty and friends, that we will emulate the past women of valor. We, the women of Stern College, shall be the future Neshei Chayil.

Dear Seniors, — no, too typical Hey you guys! — no, too informal To the graduating class of Stern College for Women, 1988 — no too wordy . O.K. — Since starting these letters is always the hardest part, we ' ll just get straight to the point. As we write this letter we ' ve discovered that we are in the season of the lasts — Our last registration, our last chagiga, our last set of exams, our last meal in the caf, our last elevator ride, etc. Suddenly, every- thing is viewed in terms of that one day in June — our graduation. We find ourselves having mixed feelings — excitement, melancholy (come on, admit it), and perhaps slight apprehension about taking that step out into the world as a fully matriculated senior. Now comes the part where we tell you that there ' s nothing to worry about — after all, we ' ve gotten a solid education here at Stern, we ' ve completed our requirements for our majors (we did — didn ' t we?), and taken our exit exams; what could we possibly be concerned about, right? WRONG!! Stern College was merely a stepping stone for us in the University of Life. Although we might not realize it, our person- alities, outlooks and values have been somewhat influenced during our stay here. Our true test is yet to be passed — can we apply what we ' ve been taught within the four walls of a classroom to our lives after Stern? As Jewish women we will constantly be challenged as well as judged both in the working world, and in our communities. How will we present ourselves? Will we be role models or will we be passive followers? We the Editors, after almost a year of hard work hope that this yearbook serves not only as a reminder of our past college years, but also as a reminder of our future responsibilities as Stern College graduates. Dear Seniors ' 88, GOOD LUCK!!
