This yearbook is devoted to capturing eager students, revered professors, victorious reams, live-wire organizations, friendships and traditions and loyalties. From rime to time you will remember some of these "captured" experiences; but many other momenrs, our personal and intimate, come alive when you return to alma mater for Homecoming. For students returning from summer vacation, the campus atmosphere revolves around the planning and building of floats, the selecting of the queen and her court, and the anticipation of a soccer team vicrory. In contrast, the alumni's view of Homecoming is more than class reunions, participating in the Road Run, being a spectator at the parade, attending the award luncheon, or cheering or the annual soccer game. For former students, Homecoming is that time when they once again experience that special feeling of remembrance as they sit in a favorite sear in a familiar classroom, gaze out a particular window and recall the seasons' colors, lean against a stairwell wall, or sir on a pork bench under a tree recalling a moment of laughter or tears with a special friend. Homecoming is a warm handshake or the embrace of a friend not seen in years. It's being here. It's coming home. It's reliving those special memories of one of the best experiences of life. As someone said, "Time nor distance can never challenge the memories of what has been." 26 by Gary Kuhn Alumni Relations Director
