i ou nere etse Students, students, students. With over 11,000 students attending West Chester, the campus is often filled with students chatting, going to the caf, and just hanging out. Ten minutes before every hour on Mon- days, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and before the half hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays students pile out of cars and stream out of the dorms on their way to classes. Music majors hurry to Swope, English majors file into Main, and Physical Education majors pile onto the buses for South Campus, while some just roll over in their beds as the melodious recorded bells sound the beginning of their class. You could always tell a freshman by his wardrobe. Decked out in his new Tim- berland knapsack, shiny new Nikes and matching pants and sweatshirt emblazoned with West Chester Uni- versity and the school logo, the wide eyed freshman would approach the sophisticated senior and ask, Where is the Bull Center? The suave se- nior would simply smile at the poor freshman thinking, If he only knew, and then proceed to give h im the di- rections. Memy of us remember how we felt as freshmen. The enormity of the campus frightened us, and grad- uation seemed a thousemd years away (For many of us it was). Yet we have to admit as we look back that our four years here were well worth it. ! 1- n m Im jpnBk | aia l K- 1 SjK J Fun in the sun. Heading to the caf on a beautiful day.

Campus life provided us with many different experiences. We learned to adjust and find our way independ- ently. The many perspectives of the campus mirrored our own complexity, but as we learned more about who we are, we learned about who we are not. We came to accept the diversity of oth- ers while discovering our own unique- ness. This was a time for each of us to perceive our potential and to surpass what we thought we could be. Now we are ready to face life after college. No bumble bees please! One of the many moods of West Chester. Do I see an empty parking space down there?

Confused freshmen ponder the way. The beauty of the campus in the fall can be enjoyed during a still hour. Enjoying the last few minutes of a spring day before class begins.
