For many of us, the four-year journey seemed so far away. We never really thought graduation would come so soon. The journey consisted of tears of sadness and joy. the making of new friends, and the loss of old ones. We may have spent hours at the local bar but we will remember the long hours we spent laboring over books. Every time we w ' ould finally get organized and everything would be running smoothly something would happen to make the road a little tougher. Overcoming obstacles in order to reach the ultimate — graduation — was all a part of life. Now we will leave this school; some will go on to graduate school, others may not. Graduation will lead us forward toward the many goals we will strive for in our own lives. Nevertheless, the memories we share, sometimes distant and forgotten, will be with us forever. As graduates, we leave West Chester State College with new knowledge and experiences that will enable us to have a successful and prosperous future.

OUR CAMPUS Embodies true meaning of variety It is very hard to describe the campus of West Chester State College unless one has worked, studied, learned, and lived here. If, however, a single word could describe this place, surely that word would be variety. We need look no further than the buildings that surround us in order to find diversity. Old, gothic Philips Memorial stands adjacent to con- temporary New Main, a blending of the traditional and the modern that forms a result not limited either to those buildings or to architecture. West Chester, for example, por- trays the struggle of old ideas and values against new ones. It is not important whether old or new prevails; it is important that our campus be a place where the search for truth occurs. Dignified Old Librar ' Campus view from Tyson
