Cold and deserted, the bleachers await spring athle| -J. Miller Through long corridors you walked into the depths of Westminster. Behind each door along your way were profes- sors, students and administrators; each with hidden dimensions to their per- sonalities. Did you know, for instance, that Catherine Huebert belly danced when she was not posing as a reserved French professor, three pranksters spent a night in McGill library, or that Al Sternbergh was a jazz band director in the 1940 s? Four years here is just too short a time to get to know everyone as well as you know your friends. Even they might have surprised you as they changed to re- spond to the new experiences college brought. Perhaps the survey in the senior section will give you insight into your friends in the Class of 1979. And, maybe the sports section will enlighten you to the glory of winning and the agony of defeat. These people made Westminster. But the settings, buildings, traditions . . . gave it character. The pictures you take with you when you leave New Wilmington will be three- dimensional. YouMl remember the sights, sounds, and smells associated with an Amish buggy and the covered bridge.

NBC offers the nation an in-depth look at fraternity pledging at Westminster. -J. Miller Perhaps when you think back to your stay in Hillside you will remember look- ing at the Tudor roof of Ferguson; or if you were a Ferguson resident, you will remember the morning pilgrimage through a flooded tunnel. After 127 years, Westminster is en- gulfed in tradition. You probably took most of it for granted. Yes, even some- thing like the religious atmosphere is tradition . One of the hardest things to remember when you were immersed in a critical analysis of Huckleberry Finn or sorority rush was that this small but seemingly complete world of Westminster was only an atom in a larger, faster moving globe. Our in depth study of your year here also includes a look at the world around you — a flashback of 1978-79 and a review of the close of a decade. In any case, our writers and photo- graphers tried to capture as many people, places and traditions in copy and photo- graphs as time and space allowed. As you go through the following pages we hope you meet new people, get to know your friends better, and remember 1979. -Cyntbia Tbomas Two photographers simultaneously capture different perspectives of a swim meet in the natatorium. -J. Miller The snow covered football field is reminiscent of exciting seasons past. -J. Miller
