As the summer ended, and classes
loomed around the corner, St. Mary's
prepared for—a new year. Notjusta year
ofthe usual classes, dances. Coffee-
houses,—frisbee on the townhouse
greens but rather a year ofchange,
one of improvement and innovation.
A new science building was in the
making. Construction on the newbuild-
ing began the previous spring and con-
tinued through the year. As classes
ended, students began to see the pro-
jectcoming to a close with an anticipat-
ed opening in the fall.
In the fall, new security systems were
installed in all Residence Halls as well
as new vending and soda machines.
Also, the entire campuswas 'bricked.''
Itwas ajoke to many, but the new brick
paths and walkways added and attrac-
tive appeal to the school's physical
appearance.
In the spring, construction on the
new townhouses began. The town-
houses would be open to special inter-
est groups due to their large meeting
areas and fireplaces. Also, tremendous
landscaping efforts were made to add
foliage and color to the new brick
paths.
Improvements were not exclusive to
the physical, the school also gained a
national reputation. U.S. News and
World Report named St. Mary's the
number one liberal arts college in the
northern region. This nationwide rec-
ognition reinforced ourimage asa pub-
lic honors college.
Beyond the changes and improve-
ments, life went on. Students studied
and partied, athletics continued to
dominate the conference, and clubs
sponsored activities, dances, and wa-
terfront concerts. Our dedication made
St. Mary's an exceptional school. We A glimpse ofthe new science

Bricks, bricks, bricks. Almost
the entire campus was bricked
over as part of a campus-wide
face-lift. Bricked pathways, a new
science building in progress, new
security systems in the residence
halls, and prospective townhouse
additions; the entire campus
underwent changes.
GROWING
Mot only did the patina of the
school improve, but our
reputation for excellence was
furthered by our ranking of "the
number one liberal arts college in
the northern region by U.S. Mews
&
World Report.
These changes provided more
and improved opportunities for
the students. A wide variety of
guests for Coffeehouse and
symposiums, several formal
dances, and trips sponsored by
clubs were only a few. Despite
these changes, life remained the
same in many areas; we spent
time studying, working, and
playing. We were able to achieve
an equilibrium between our
classes, our social lives, and
school activities. Some students
even managed to find time to
maintain jobs, earning the
necessary funds for college
expenses.
While the school underwent
changes, old traditions remained
entrenched in our lives. The shoe
tree, 93 days "til graduation, and,
of course, birthday pondings.
We were GROWING UP, learning
to change with the times, while
still remaining true to tradition. -

Sometimes, many studentsenjoydo-
ing their work outside, especially
when the weather is perfect. Fresh-
man Oona McNeil, wanting to escape
the diversions in her room, works
peacefully on the front porch of Prince

As part ofthe campus-wide
renovations, the Residence
Halls received newsecurity
systems. Ratherthan using
punch codes to enter the
dorms, students needed to have
their IDs with the magnetic
strip.
College life is notall study-
ing and work, students al-
ways find time to relax and
play, frisbee Golfwas one
of the more popular out-
door sports among the stu-
dents. When the weatherwases-
pecially nice, the campus was
filled with students playing fris-
bee, layingout, playingfootball,
and skateboarding.
