Activities Confd Commenting on the California tripjim Wiernega said, I must say the ' scenery was beautiful and so was the weather, but ask anyone what makes a Wheels trip so special and you will get the same response every time — it ' s the people. College is not strictly composed of scheduled activities, for spontaneous events also made the year special. Most of the girls in Olson, English and South halls may recall the night Swallow Robin surprisingly serenaded them. When col- lege students think along the lines of spontane- ity, they remember things like serenading and going on donut runs at 1:00 a.m., playing foot- ball in front of the dorms, skating at Idyl Wyld and talking with close friends in the hallway until 4:00 a.m. The list could go on and on . . . for college students in a rural community are fam- ous for inventing their own ways to have fun. You may say the year also brought some bad times . . . like maybe you did not get to live off- campus like you had hoped or maybe you got a D in philosophy when you thought you should have received a C. The purpose of the theme of this book is not to deny the fact that there were struggles during the year . . . but rather it is to encourage you to realize that the year, even amidst the hard times, was filled with activities and people both of which were determined to try and make it, The best time of your life.
