For the senior class, anticipation mounted as they

entered their last semester. The months passed quickly

until the last few weeks were all that remained. For some,

the senior activities were a time of sadness as they realized

that yet another milestone of their lives was upon them.

a new season of life. For all, these activities symbolized

a college career successfully completed and recognition

based on that success. Many may have been tempted to

quit in those last difficult days when the end was near, but

that finishing strong was what mattered most and that
