The 2001-2002 school year proved to be a year full ofmemories. Freshman
remember how they felt when they first came to the campus. New friendships were
forged. Some enemies were made. Some couples even became engaged. Classes were
passed and classes were failed. We all remember where we were on September 1 1 when
we first heard the news. This year has truly been filled with many memories, good and
bad.
The theme of The Crusader this year is "The Journey Never Ends." This theme is
worked into the different sections ofthis publication, but that theme is also worked into
the aspects ofour lives. For entering freshman, thejourney does not end after their first
year it continues throughout the college years. For graduating seniors, it closes another
chapter in the book ofthat personsjourney through life.
Thejourney does not end. It continues through the years ofour lives. Each day
adds its own page. Sometimes thejourney is rough. At times the yearbook staffthought
this publication would never end. but it did. We are proud ofthe work we have done to
produce a yearbook forWilliam Carey College and its faculty, staft'. and students.
This publication is the first step in improving the yearbooks at William Carey
College. We are excited about the changes that are taking place, and we look forward to
the 2002-2003 yearbook. In closing we would like to thank the administrafion. faculty,
staff, and students ofWilliam Carey College for their support. Also, we want to thank
all those who purchased ads and gave extra eftort to complete this publication. Thank
you.
God BlessYou.
