graduation, things will certainly change. I ' m not against change; in fact, I think I ' m pro -change. Only I ' m getting somewhat sentimental and I ' m gravely feeling my 21 years. Forgive us, our fellow students, and try to understand why we get a bit teary-eyed and all serious during hap- py fun -loving times. You see, we, the graduates of ' 87, have enough sense to know what we ' re leaving behind — those things that we will never be able to regain or experience again. The day we step across the stage (May 30, 1987), we will no longer be a part of you, the undergraduate students. And that, for me, and others of my class, is somehow, a source of regret. Cathy Reed

Sugar Shack As one looks around the caw- pus. he sees many things. When one leaves the main building and makes his way back Co the dorm areas where the real student life abounds, he will notice a structure between the commons buildings known by the administration of the school as the Gazebo. The Gazebo provides a place for students to talk and relax in an outside setting. It is especially popular during the warmer months of the year. Stu ■ dents bring their recorders; they play music, and converse, and turn the shack into a party place. Some students have used the area for a barber shop while others have even attempted to study in this shelter. The Gazebo has a much more popular name coined by the stu- dents. We call this structure the Sugar Shack . The shack, at one time, had lights, but they never seemed to work. The students don ' t seem to mind, though; they continue to gather and utilize the open building. Most people take the Gazebo for granted and almost forget it ' s there. But, it would be missed if it were gone. The sugar shack provides a lot of memories. The freshmen notice the shack, but see no real purpose for it. The sophomores have learned that it ' s a great place to meet other folks. The juniors know that every season finds a new reason for the shack. The seniors know that without the shack, they probably would have failed a test or missed a talk with that special friend. The shack that started from a very humble beginning has become an integral part of student life, and, if the stu- dents have their way, it will remain there for many years to come for students to enjoy. All who read this article will remember some- thing funny or sad that took place in the sugar shack. Stop in and enjoy the Gazebo. If you listen closely enough when no one else is around, you may hear voices from the past speak and laugh. By the way, don ' t you wonder what it would tell you if it could talk. ' '
