SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY BOSTON, MA BEACON YEARBOOK, 1988 Scheme Suffolk Spirit 2 Seniors 17 Scholars 56 Sports 57 Societies 67 Socials 81 Sponsors | 121 A rationalistic definition of SPIRIT would not only be a presumptuous, but also a hopeless undertaking. Such a definition would kill SPIRIT or transmute it into an object. SPIRIT defies conceptual interpretation, but nevertheless its attributes are apprehensible. Among these attri- butes are freedom, creativity, integ- rity, love, value, orientation towards the highest . . . and union with it. — Nicolas Beroyaev Spirit and Reality I LIBERTY, it is a thing of the SPIRIT. It is an aspiration on the part of people for, not alone a free life, but a better life. — Wendell L. Wilkle To merely be FREE is not much. To be able to do whatever you want does not in itself produce a good life or fine character. All you can say is that without FREEDOM, the real problem of a good life cannot even begin. — Gilbert Murry PEACE is not a passive, but an active virtue. — Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen President ' s Letter to the Class of 1988 ear Member of the Suffolk University Class of 1988: The years one spends at college are a special time. They are a time of hard work and study; they are also a time of intense learning, of deep friendships, of new opportunities and of good times. To spend one ' s college years at Suffolk University, in the heart of Boston, is a particularly valuable and enriching experience. You have had an opportunity to learn from the faculty, in class; to learn from books, in the Sawyer Library; to learn from each other, in all of the student activities and in informal gatherings in the cafeteria or in the Ridgeway Building; and to learn from the dynamic city of Boston, in your work experience, in visits to museums and attendance at concerts, plays and other cultural events. The educational experiences you have had as a student at Suffolk University have prepared you to assume new responsibilities. You have learned the importance of hard work, the meaning of deadlines and the value of applying yourself diligently to achieve your goals. You have learned the concepts and techniques that will enable you to enter and succeed in a profession, and you have learned a significant amount about your cultural heritage and about our social institutions. Learning does not end with graduation from college. Because the world around us continues to change and because you are preparing for and taking on new responsibilities, you will need to continue your learning throughout your life. Suffolk University has given you the tools you need to be a lifelong learner. As the years go by, you will value increasingly the experiences and opportunities you were given here and will feel even more proud to be an alumnus or an alumna of Suffolk University. Best wishes. Daniel H. Perlman, Ph.D. President □ CURIOSITY is the direct incontinency of the SPIRIT. — Jeremy Taylor KNOWLEDGE is the only fountain, both of love and the principles human liber- ty. — Daniel Webster The UNIVERSITY is a place where inqui- ry is pushed forward, and discoveries verified and perfected, and rashness rendered innocuous, and error ex- posed, by the collision of mind with mind and knowledge with knowledge ... It is a seat of wisdom, a light of the world ... an Alma Mater of the rising generation. — Cardinal Newman To the Class of 1988: A s we close another chapter in our lives and prepare to face the future, we slowly realize that our lives will never be the same. We leave Suffolk with fond memories and mixed emotions. We bid a sad farewell to teachers and friends, yet we are eager to move on and face the challenges that lie ahead. I hope you have enjoyed your years at Suffolk as much as I have enjoyed mine. When I look back upon the last four years, I can think of little that I would have changed. The long hours of studying and test taking have come to a close and we are ready to reap the benefits of our years of hard work. We have grown together, both socially and intellectually, and we have formed bonds which will last long after the commencement exercises have ended. I want to thank you for allowing me to represent you on Student Government. I consider your trust in me an honor, a privilege, and an invaluable personal experience. As President of S.G.A., I have acted with your best interests in mind, and I hope I have done so in a responsible manner. I wish you continued success in all future endeavors and encourage you to face the future and to challenge yourselves so that each of you may reach your fullest potential. Best wishes for a long and prosperous future. The Class of 1988 will long stand tall in the memories of Suffolk University. Kevin P. Shone S.G.A. President Class of 1988 _ . . . I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry. I listen to the robin ' s song saying not to worry. So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out, there ' s so much left to know and I ' m on the road to find out. Sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit yer, but nevertheless you know you ' re locked towards the future. — Cat Stevens Andy Warhol said, In the future, everyone will be a celebrity for fifteen minutes.

Boomtown Boston New buildings spreading like crab grass Someone who last visited us in. say. the mid- ' 60s. when the shiny-new Prudential Tower was the only true sky- scraper in sight (standing out like a cheap appliance in architectural harmony only with the Magnavox facade of its neighbor, the old Hynes Auditorium), wouldn ' t recog- nize the place today Boston will never be the same Look fast, take pictures Our fa- bled low skyline, once dominated by. of all things, the State House dome, is already a memory We are no longer quaint, under- stated, or classy We are at last getting what we always secretly coveted — big buildings like New York ' s Charm is kaput Like Montreal or Edinburgh. Boston soon will be divided into an old and a new city — one for tourists and poor people and anti- quarian hobbyists, the other for business Old money kept things modest, new mon- ey built to the skies Of course, the low-rise city contour whose possing we lament was itself the result of a building spree When folks first settled Boston, it was a modest tract of what is now downtown real estate almost completely surrounded by water Several hills dominated the original skyline, chief among them Tnmountain. a trio of elevations each with two names — Mount Vernon or West HSI. Pemberton or Cotton, and Beacon or Sentry Pemberton and Mount Vernon were dwarfish adjuncts to Beacon, which towered roughly 150 feet above harbor level In 1634. settlers put up a signal-fire tower (or beacon — get it?) atop the tallest of the sibling mounds The beacon served the community through the Revolution but then fell to disuse And in 1789 rt fell to a windstorm Which was fine with future-thinkers of the day who ' d wanted to trash the eyesore anyway Gentleman architect and civic planner Charles Bulfinch (1763-1844). who later gave us the State House and much of the Bostonian architecture now cowering in the shadows of such monstrosities as International Place, designed and raised cash to erect a 60-foot Done column witn an eagle on top to replace the beacon It was a monument to the Revolution and bore the inscription. While from this eminence scenes of luxuriant fertility, of flourishing commerce, and the abodes of social happiness meet your view, forget not those who by their exertions have secured to you these blessings Not very catchy, but then, not many people bothered to struggle up Beacon Hill for a close look How Bulfinch must have gloated, confident that his column would forever overlook the mod- ern city he was helping to create Alas, nothing defeats progress like more progress By 181 1 the new Boston was overcrowded Developers wanted more land, and so they undertook the ambitious job of filling in Boston ' s wetlands Down came Mount Vernon and Pemberton Down came the top of Beacon Hill, its soil dumped into the Mill Pond that lay between what ' s now Haymarket Square and North Station And with it. down came Bulfinch ' s column His family objected He objected but was too preoccupied with temporary financial ruin resulting from the development of Franklin Place (between Milk and Summer streets) to do much about it. In 1898. a replica of his monument was set up behind the State House, where it blocks traffic to the day The replica was a nice gesture If we can ' t preserve the past in the face of headlong expansion, we can at least re-create it for old times ' sake Perhaps that same spirit will somedqy move some nostalgic builder to erect a replica beacon tower, complete with period-authentic smudge pot. on top of the ugliest skyscraper in town Just to keep us humble.

It may be apparent in the way you do something, or it may be why you do it. SPIRIT is what kept you here, and SPIRIT is what kept you going. SPIRIT may be the way you feel after nights of studying pays off with grades to be proud of. It may be the festive air that hovers over a school sponsored event. It may be the will to take the train everyday, fighting the crowds to emerge from the subway and be greeted by the beauty and diversity of this great city, Boston. It may be the excitement of measuring for your cap and gown. It may be the hesitant thrill of measuring up for that career you ' ve been preparing for. SPIRIT is what drives our sports teams, our highest scholars, our working students, our campus and student advocates, our clubs and organizations, and our dedicated professors and administration. For everyone SPIRIT has a different meaning, just as for everyone SUFFOLK has different memories. Whatever SPIRIT is to you, I hope you can find some reflection of it in this yearbook. Though I am not a graduating senior this year, I was happy and honored to put together the 1988 Beacon. It was a challenging job that allowed me to flex my creativity and learn how to take a project from birth to completion. My goal was to put out a book that would be good now, and still worthy of this class in twenty-plus years. A yearbook serves to document a graduating class for the archives; but more importantly, it serves as a record of your classmates and your college years. A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit — John Milton My result and reward is what you hold in your hands now. The credit and satisfaction is shared with those who have helped me. Now, I ' d like to give some sincere thanks to those folks . . . Marjorie Hewitt, my advisor, who worked hard every minute this year and always supported me and listened to me carry on, giving A1 advice all the way; my staff, Georgia, Reem, Ella, Joannie, Sharon, Donna, and Maureen, who ' helped with the book ' s take-off, and much of the decision-making, busy-work, photography, and special projects; The SAO, Registrar ' s office, Public Relations office. Captain Robbins, Coach Nelson, Dr. Manning, The Journal, and SGA; All of the book ' s sponsors; John Carrier, my publishing rep, Steve Forslund, my photography rep, and Brian Jacobson, the senior portrait photographer (and comedian); and at last, the permanent support-staff of my family, friends, and of course, my dearest buddy and pal, Keith. Finally, thank YOU for smiling and being a great subject for the 1988 Beacon, and for inspiring the SPIRIT in me to put it all together for you. In Suffolk University ' s Class of 1988, 1 see the SPIRIT of success and I wish you all great luck and happiness.
