It ' s Not Just A Celebration Welcome to the celebrat ion. Grab a party hat, a balloon, some confetti, and have a seat, because you ' re in for the biggest celebration in a long time. We ' re preparing for the party: polishing the brass, trimming the hedges, and fixing our ties; we ' ve got a lot to celebrate. 1980 brought the normal adjustment problems of the university life: new stu- dents, new professors, new buildings, new classes, and new degrees, but after a century of confronting the problems of a growing institution, we tackled them with 100 years of strength and wisdom. But at use, it wasn ' t just time for a party, it was time to examine ourselves and redefine our goals. As students, we shaped up in every aspect of our lives: physically, mentally, emotionally. As a university, we likewise examined those areas, working toward a better image. As we came to college, we attained the status of men and women, stepping out of adolescence. We spent four years — sometimes five — studying, partying, meeting people, finding direction, and looking for a place to fit in. They were four trying years for some, easy years for others, and expensive years for all. But most survived. So welcome to the celebration, and to the University of Southern California. Come join us and lend a hand, because We ' re Shaping Up. Left: ALL IN FUN — Even adnnnistratcrf take part in the celetjration as B. ]. Hately laughs ahmg with the fun of Playfair. Opening 15
