1984 Miracle Yearbook

Gary W. Rouster Music Education April1. Saathoff Business Administration S trange incidentals always fasten themselves to my memories of college life. Dorm life, for instance, of- fered some queer delights. Crawling into bed at night was generally a rather comfortable event, except for when the process was hindered by my sheets growing mysteriously short. Not much better were the nights I felt the exotic sensation of popcorn kernels, nestled beneath the sheets, massaging my weary bones. Dorm life held other flavors of excitement, like struggling to keep two eyelids, ten fingers, and one fuzzy brain cognizant while typing a ten-page term paper at 3:00 A.M.

Obviously, athletics were not so very precious to me, but the freedom I enjoyed here was. Incredibly enough, I could disagree with my professor without being flunked, suspended, or exiled from campus. When the temperatures were un- bearably cold, I could wear pants, and while playing tennis, I could wear shorts! (The only problem is that I can't play tennis.) I guess the biggest shock was the privilege of actually holding hands with a member of the opposite sex. (I never did that either, but just knowing that I could was thrilling in itself.) Cedarville taught me much about people and much about life, and it taught me that learning is a lot of fun. by TRACY HOLTZMAN,f Seniors 73
