A View From Within Each of us, with our own unique perception, express our view in a different light. Stout definitely pro- vides a wealth of opportunity for expression, and 1985 and 1986 were no exception. The education and relationship formed this year were a basis for our individual creativity. Sporting events, student center enter- tainment, house parties and games at the recreation center were among those activities which have given us the chance to express our individuali- ty. Stout weekends, starting on Thurs- day, provide a lot of time for social growth. Activities like Homecoming Week only proved to expand our expressions. Diversity could be seen throughout the campus at any time. The car we drove, our style of dress, an off-beat hairdo, our course of study, different languages, a variety of opinions, and notable actions all contributed to the uniqueness of each individual. Stout became a melting pot. As each of us moved away from home, we brought with us certain views and expressions. During this year we test- ed some of our ideas. We tried new things, expanded our experiences, and developed new philosophies. We flaunted our identity. In the process of creating our new uniqueness, our views meshed with that of our peers, thus creating views from within Stout, as well as a view from each of us as individuals. When we leave Stout we will take with us a part of our peers and part of Stout. With Stout we will leave some of our views — a part of us. 10 Opening

Lasting Impressions What do we think of when we think of Stout? The famous Stout Tower is of course symbolic but what are those lasting impressions, those moments we ' ll al- ways remember and always treasure? Each of us have different impressions and have shared different moments in 1985-86. Stout certainly provides am- ple activities and opportunities to make some lasting impressions. Remember those crazy stunts your friends pulled — the nice ' ' guy or girl your roommate so graciously set you up with, the part you got in the school play, signing that first lease and your apprehension, the flowers you got and still don ' t know where they came from, being stuck in Menomonie because of atrocious weather conditions, the first time you attempted to find that house on 11th Avenue West or was it north 11th Street, the day your first long dis- tance phone bill arrived, the roadtrip you took with your friends to visit friends at another campus, the test you scored a 100% on and then the one or two you failed, the first club meeting you attended, the day you made the football team, or meeting your roommate and realizing you had to live together for the next nine months. It ' s these kinds of things that seem so trivial, yet will be lasting with all of us as we look back in years to come as we remember what being at Stout was all about. Opt ' rliMH '
