History of Butler College

Reprinted from the 1421 Drift.

At a meeting of the Disciples of Christ, September 29, 1848, at the Little Flat Rock Church in Rush County, the question was asked, "Shall we build a col- lege?" The answer was affirma- tive and at a meeting in Octo- ber, 1849, a resolution was adopted definitely naming Indianapolis as the location for the proposed school

In the laws of the State of Indiana the reader will find the charter of the Northwestern Christian University, approved January 15, 1850. Familiar names appear among the incorporators: Butler, Goodwin, Hoshour, Hopkins, Jameson, New, Cole, O'Kane and many others Who of the I ^^

readers of this can ' ^

name the first

faculty? John Young, acting President; G.W. Hoss, Math- ematics and Civil Engineering; J.R. Challen, English and Normal School.

The first faculty consisted of but four members.

The institution was autho- rized to issue stock to the amount of $75,000 at least. The

formal opening did not take place until 1855, though the first Board of Directors was chosen July 14, 1852, and the second Board, July 11, 1855. The building for the new institution was on the corner of what is now College Avenue and Thirteenth Street. This was out in the country at that time. The campus eventually ex- tended to Sixteenth Street on

the north and the L.E. & W tracks on the east. The sessions were held for twenty years in the one building on this ground - a struc- ture Gothic in character and a

andmark in that part of the city. The period of the Civil War was a reat drain on the

many of the boys enlisted. Some never came back. Joe Gordon, whose portrait hangs in the college chapel, was one of these. President Scott Butler went to the colors and served three years. The record was honorable then in that time of stress, as it was in the Great War, more than a half century later.

It must be remembered that for most of these years a law school was conducted as a part of the college. Byron K. Elliot was the head of it for a large part of its existence. Removal to a new site became necessary and this occurred in 1875. The communitv of Irvington, then a suburb, gave money and ground and as a result the change was made. In recognition of the benefactions of Ovid Butler, who had served for nearly a

quarter of a century as presi- dent of the board of directors, the name of the institution was changed to Butler College, soon after the move to Irvington. This official action was taken February 22, 1877.

In all these years there was a preparatory department in the college corresponding to courses now given in high schools. The last year of this department was 1906-07, and the head of the school was Omar Wilson. During 1904-07, the college was a part of the University of Indianapolis, which existed partly on paper, but represented an ideal which some day should and will be realized.

The increase in buildings continued until the last one, the new gymnasium was added a short time ago. Irwin Field had been enclosed before this, taking the place of the limited space on the main campus. The buildings were added in about the follow- ing order: the College Residence for Women, the Gymnasium, Burgess Hall, the Observatory, the Bona Thompson Memorial Library and then the College of Missions, which, though not owned by the Butler authori- ties, is intimately connected in its field of operations. Nor should we overlook the cafete- ria belonging to the domestic science department.

Many students of Butler College went to the colors in the Great War, and their record in all respects was honorable and inspiring. The twelve gold stars in the service flag bear

silent witness to those who never came back.

The recent growth in the college shows a new life and spirit, and ere many years have passed the historian of the institution will have quite a task to keep pace with its growth. In these times of pressing forward and of hopes pinned far ahead, it is often a welcome rest to stop and take a back- ward look over the years we have already covered. The persons who did this or that thing for the first time always catch our interest; for they are the symbol of the fruit which comes afterward.

The first graduate of Butler College has a claim on us in this respect. This is no longer a youthful institution, for the first class was graduated in 1856. Mrs. Nancy E. Atkinson, who now lives in lr\'ington, was the first woman graduate and is the only living representative of that first class, \^'hich was composed of three men and herself. After graduation Mrs. Atkinson contin- ued her connec- tion with the school by teach- ing English in the Northwester Christian University from 1858 until the outbreak of the Civil War. Most of the students enlisted, so her classes were disbanded.

This woman, who was born in 1837, is a real and tangible connecting link with the past, and it is quite fitting and appropriate that we have her picture in the 1921 Drift, for from our heritage our future must draw its start.

"If I could change one thing it would be the excessive amount of sidewalk chalk used during homecoming. I'm all about school spirit, but we all have to find our limits."

I raditions, reunions, and celebrations, are three words that come to mind when one thinks of Homcoming events.

The week leading up to the game against Valparaiso was filled with the traditional sporting competitions, King and Queen voting and "Yell Like Hell" competitions. Rain and inclement weather cancelled the annual parade anci fire- works, but did not dampen the excitement that had been building on campus.

Storm clouds staved above the Butler Bowl throughout the afternoon of the game, but the trtie spirit of Homecoming was still there. Many alumni came to cheer on the Bulldogs and to see former classmates. They came out in numbers and re- lived their college days by tailgating in the park- ing lot.

As with all Homecoming weeks. Homecom- ing 1999 celebrated Butler's past, present and future.

Any young women with tlie idea of catching a man and holding him should consider enrolling in the Foods class, taught under the Home Economics Department. This class not only insures the ladies of knowing how to prepare food in an appetizing manner, but also embraces the study of meal planning and nutritional requirements. Potential bachelors might do well to consider enrolling. (Reprinted from the 1951 Dnfi)

"I think one of the major impacts of LAS is the many opportunities it has to offer. Although my classes have been specific to my major this year, I have come to realize how one area can be incorporated into another area of LAS."

YMCA celebrates lasting tradition

By Sarah Rahall

staff Writer

Over 800 campus YMC As used to populate the country. How- ever, today they are less than 40. One of those remaining YMCAs is the Butler YMCA.

"I'd say that we're still pretty strong," said Linnea Leatherman, Executive Director, Butler Univer- sity Intercollegiate YMCA. "I be- lieve that's because we have some pretty old campus traditions that are solely our responsibility, and not of any other campus organi- zation."

According to Leatherman, Butler's YMCA has been around for a very long time.

"We are the oldest in the city, having begun at the Irvington campus of Butler in 1879," she said. "The YMCA of America is only 150 this year so we've been around only 29 years less than that."

Leatherman said she has learned many things from being a part of the organization.

"1 have learned how different each year is because of the per- sonalities of the student officers," she said. "No year is the same as another. I have learned that, if you allow students to assume a leadership role, it is sometimes better to let them fail because they learn from that experience more than if 1 had taken over to prevent

Junior BrianneBrockman, who has been a part of various YMCAs for the last eight years, including three at Butler, has also learned many things from the organiza- tion.

"The YMCA, not just at Butler, has provided me with leadership abilities and skills that I can uti- lize throughout my life," she said. "1 have developed friendships with people that 1 may have never known and it has given me the abihty and the satisfaction of help- ing people who need my and oth- ers' help."

According to Leatherman, the YMCA puts on many activities at Butler each year.

Some of these include Direction Sports, Giving Tree, Freshman Weekend, Chapel Services, Skip-a- Meal and Outstanding Freshman awards.

However, perhaps the YMCA's most popular events are Spring Sing and Geneva Stunts.

"Spring Sing is over 55 years old," she said . "This started out as a torch- light sing in Holcomb Gardens."

According to Leatherman, Geneva Stunts turned 80 years old last fall.

"This started as a fund-raiser for students going to a YMCA leader- ship conference in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin," she said.

And 80 years later, Geneva Stunts is still going strong.

Brockman was the overall direc- tor of Geneva Stunts this year, which she feels has been her most fulfilling

experience with the YMCA thus far.

"1 had so much fun putting that all together," she said. "It was a lot of work, but I had a lot of great help and it was one of the best Geneva Stunts that Butler has ever had."

President of Butler's YMCA John Dunn feels that all of the programs it puts on are for a very good cause.

"The best part about being in- volved with the YMCA has been making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate," he said. "The YMCA has a strong commitment to the Indianapolis community and to Butler University. Our all campus programs like Spring Sing and Geneva Stunts are long-standing tra- ditions at Butler, and our service pro- grams like Giving Tree, and Direc- tion Sports are rewarding for all of those invoh'ed."

Brockman has really enjoyed her hours spent with the organi- zation.

"I love the YMCA," she said. "1 love being a part of it in any I capacity. 1 think it is just great to get to know people and offer | some fun things to do on cam- pus."

Brockman encourages stu- dents to get involved with | Butler's YMCA.

"The YMCA is a great organi- zation to be involved with here I at Butler," she said. "We help the community as well as of fer things on campus. We would like to | expand some programs and per- haps add some different ones. To do this we need the help of I dedicated and creativeindividu- als."

^he Butler Collegian

Weekly newspaper informs, entertains entire student body

Reprinted from the premiere publication of the Drift, 1891.

The Butler Collegian made its appearance in the college world in January, 1886, and was the outgrowth of a desire among the students to be represented in that field of amateur literature, some- what circumscribed, but, never- theless, full of spirit and enthu- siasm, known as college jour- nalism.

The need of some magazine as an exponent of the literary life and spirit of the students had long been felt, and the five literary societies, the Mathesian, Pythonian, Athenian,

Philokurian and Demia Butler, as best representing the whole body of the students took the lead and formed the editing staff by electing two representatives from each society. These orga- nized the first board of editors by electing H.N. Kelsey editor-

in-chief.

Its intention, as was outlined in the beginning, has been to afford a medium of communica- tion with the outside student world, to preserve the interest of the alumni, and to afford to the students an opportunity of giv- ing an expression to their opin- ions or literary talents.

The magazine has tried to publish as many items of inter- est to the outside world as may happen in its limited sphere of action, and to give to the public the best literary productions of the students, together with all the prize essays and orations as representative of the very best work of the classroom and ros- trum.

Beginning on a somewhat narrow basis, it very early en- larged its dimensions, and steadily adhering to its original intention, it has advanced both in quality and quantity of its

contents until now it stands a peer to any col- lege periodical in America.

At present, it is a neat twenty-four page maga- zine, published on the 15th of each month dur- ing the college year. For the present year it has been more successful than ever before, and

^^w do you think the Collegian effects campus^

John Servizzi Managing Editor

"Sometimes the Butler student body comes off a little apathetic. When the Collegian is released that apathy disappears. Whether you like what we're saying or not, The Collegian helps urge the student body towards an opinion; thanks to a tremen- dously dedicated and talented staff."

Greg Weitekamp Sports Editor

"Even as a staff member, I really don't think it effects the campus. By the time the stories come out, the faculty generally has already heard about it, and the students are so apa- thetic that they don't care. While things are important that come out in the paper, people just don't take it to heart."

Kelli Rutherford News Editor

"The Collegian gives a voice to every person on this campus. And although you might not accept or agree with what is said, you have to respect the right anci courage to say it, and even appreciate the staff that works so hard each semes- ter to put the paper to- gether."

Luke Marquard Entertainment Editor

"I have nothing good to say about the Collegian, except that it makes good kindling. It also allows people to express their frustrations as columnists such as Blake Dearing do."

Freshmen participate in week-long event to see what Greek system can offer.

By Amber Connolly

Copy Editor

Not even the tradition of Greek-letter organizations' "Rush" is exempt from today's trend of changing words and slogans to be more politically correct and acceptable. Rush has been transformed to the more acceptable term, "Formal Recruitment."

For Butler University, For- mal Recruitment took place the week ofjanuary 10, 2000. Both men's fraternities and women's sororities participated in the event. Approximately 300 women and 1 40 men registered to go through the recruitment process.

From the women's perspec- tive, the week was marked with interesting conversations and

long intervals shivering in the cold between parties. "Besides the fact that each group had to stand outside in the freez- ing cold while we waited, ever\'- thing was wonderful," said Randi Carpenter. "It was one of the best experiences I have ever had."

The men participating in Rush had a less rigid schedule for the week, but nonetheless were able to make informed decisions about choosing an organization to join. Freshman Will Haskett said, "1 was able to see what house was right for me by imagining myself living in each of the houses with the guys.

At the end of the week-long process, 325 new members - 216 women and 109 men were added to the Greek system at Butler University according to Douglas Palmquist, Director of Greek Af- fairs.

study Abroad

Study Abroad program offers worldly experience

For me, studying abroad was a defining time of my college career. Spending a semester in London. I was able to immerse myself in another culture. I was a student, but more than just a college student. I was a student of music as I went to the London Symphony Orchestra or jazz concerts at the Royal Festival Hall. I was a student of art w hen 1 went to the Tate Art Gallery to look at the Monets or Picassos. I was a student of people when I went to the pubs to interact with the British. And I was a student of history and geography as I traveled around Europe. C&T became exciting. Art History took on a history of its own. and International Economics became dynamic. Yes. studying abroad was truly a life-enriching experience; it opened my eyes to the people and places in the world around me.

Social Life ©Butler

Friendships and responsibility increase from social freedom

From the moment we waved good-bye to our parents treshman year, our responsibili- ties increased dramatically. No longer was someone going to wash our clothes, or tell us to be home before midnight. Although Butler is not known for its social life, many stucients do choose to stay out late, enjoying life to its fullest after hours of stress from papers and tests. Some social events took place at the bars, at fraternity houses, and at the Hinkle parking lot, while other events were sponsored by campus organizations such as SGA. No matter what the event, the laughter, smiles and sometimes tears shared with those we called our friends will be memories that forever live in our hearts.

Squirrels, BUPD & Me

We laugh, cry and catch bad guys with our police department

Once again our campus has seen a safe and successful year. Butler has seen its lowest death rates in 20 years. The student-to-squirrel ratio has continued to drop thanks to BUPD's"Let'sGetRid Of Them Squirrels" program. And cocaine dealing BUPD cops are now just a bad memory of the past. Yes, Butler is a safe campus thanks to those brave men m blue. So the next tiirie you see a BUPD officer, walk up to him or her and say "Thank you for your service to our campus and community. Without you, we might live in a world of chaos and anarchv." Then run off in the opposite direction screaming profanities.

A.A.U. National Champs, 1924

1924 Dnff

"^e first three-quarters of the season was in the nature of a funeral in which the Bulldog quintet played the leading role. Chicago was the only prominent team that succumbed during this first period.

The fireworks started when Marquette, weD- known Wisconsin team, was lashed, 24-18, on its ov\'n court. Then Wabash, Haskell, and Franklin fell.

Two high marks of the 1923-24 basketball season will long be remembered by Butler cohorts. First, Franklin — a team that needs little introduction — was outplayed, out- maneuvered, out-classed, and outscored on its own tloor. It was the first time the Baptists had been beaten during their two years as Indiana college champs. The second highlight was the winning of the A. A. U. national title in Kansas City.

Difficult schedule creates season of excitement

By Will Haskett

Staff Writer

In what turned out to be the tareweil season tor eight-year head coaeh Sharon Dingman. the \ olleyball team turned in an exciting season despite a rough overall record.

The team finished at an even .500 for the season (15-15), but struggled at times in conference with a record of 5-7. The season officially ended with a loss in the semifinals of the MCC tourna- ment to Wisconsin-Green Bay.

Before that ending, the entire season was a roller coaster ride for the team.

The pre-season was a mix of

brutal losses and experience- building victories. The conference season was full of high expecta- tions that seemed to falter at some key moments.

At one point midway through the season, Butler had a huge victory against state rival Ball State, a win which buih momen- tum for some MCC wins.

The end of the season could have been very triumphant had Butler been able to pull out victories against the best teams in the conference. One big win could have made a big difference on how the season is remembered. Unfor- tunately, the team fell one key point or person short of some huge victories.

Seven of Butler's opponents

throughout the season made it to the NCAA tournament, showing just how hard their schedule turned out to be.

"We had very high expectations of ourselves," outgoing coach Dingman remarked. "We still consider it an above average year."

"This was the most fun group I have ever coached," she said.

Butler lost three senior players in the process: Cory Gulasey, Eileen Murphy, and Kelly Mott. The team will return, however, all six starters for next year's team.

Also joining the roster will be new head coach Sharon King, who will bring her volleyball knowl- edge from California, as Butler looks to make a serious conference impact in the future.

Tri Delts Win First Volley Series

1925 Drift

Intersorority volley- ball, which was intro- duced at Butler in the spring of 1924, was met with much interest and enthusiasm. Because the game is less strenuous than basketball, an opportunity of enjoying athletics and profiting by physical excercise is afforded every girl. During the period when two teams, consisting of eight members, are fighting for twenty-one points, there is as much suspense and excitement as

there is in a football game.

The Tri Delt team, composed of Margaret Waters, captain; Lillian Martin, Dorothy Stephetison, Dorothy Avels, Thelma Carter, Louise Padou,

LaVern Bishop, Josephine Osborne, Maude Searcy, Mildred Foxworthy, Edythe ,

Hubbard, Margaret Haldv and Eldena Meier, defeated the Alpha Delt sc|uad in the

fmals, 21 to 11 and 21 to 6 for

the championship and the silver

cup.

Neither finalists had lost a

Though the team lost top runner Julius Mwangi, everyone's hopes were high for the 1999 season. With all but one varsity runner returning and a handful of talented freshmen, the men's cross- country team set high but attainable goals to repeat as conference champions and qualify for nationals a second year in a row.

"We had all the talent we needed to go back to nationals, it was just a matter of putting it all together," Franklin said of his runners.

The season started off strong with easy wins at Butler's annual alumni run and the Stan Lyons In\'itational, where the team earned both individual and team champi- onships.

Butler placed first out of 23 teams at the Indiana Intercollegiate meet, earning the national rank of 15th.

the highest in Butler history. But the team facecl disappointment in a 13th place finish in a field of 28 the following week, though, at the Rov Griak meet in Miimeapolis, Minn.

"Things just didn't seem to cUck," Krar says of his race. Being one who learns from disappointments, Franklin used this humbling experience to focus on redemption at the upcoming pre-national meet.

The cross-country team then failed to place a runner in the top 25 at the pre-national meet in Bloomington, Ind.

Butler dropped from the top twenty ranked teams in the nation. With no injuries and consistent training, the downward slide was a perplexing mystery.

Though making a second appearance at the national meet was the team's ultimate goal, the men had to first prepare and focus on the upcoming conference meet, which they were able to win convincingly.

Junior Justin Young, the team's top runner, showed up in full force

at this meet winning by over 20 seconds.

With a strong showing at the conference meet, the team went to districts upbeat and well prepared. As the race unfolded, Butler came on strong with top runners. Young, Tlrompson, and Siele all in the top ten and the rest of the seven-man team witliin the top 75. Midway tlirough the race, though, a few of Butler's men began to falter. Thompson slowed and fell several positions behind. Krar had trouble finding a rhythm and lost \'aluable positions as well. Though Young and Siele both placed in the top ten and ad\anced to the national championship indi\iduallv. Butler earned fifth place at the meet. Though disappointed that his team did not qualify for the national meet, Franklin expressed pride in their effort.

"1 know that is was not for a lack of heart," he commented. "1 do think they gave everything, it just wasn't enouch."

Consistently at the top of the field of teams, the Butler women's cross country team had another impressive season, led by top senior runners Meghan Berrier and Erin Kelly.

The team proved their talent in many venues throughout the season. For an unprecendented fourth time the Butler squad cap- tured the MCC Women's Cross Country title. No other team in the history of the conference has accom- plished this feat.

Another notable effort

was winning the Indiana Intercollegiate Meet, topping all Indiana teams. This marks the second time in as

many years that the team has won this honor. It is the first time in history that Butler has done this.

Head Coach Joe Franklin was named MCC Coach of the Year for the fourth time. He concentrated on making sure that his top runners had enough breaks and rest to prepare for the large meets. During these times, many other members of the team stepped up and made fine showings.

The team began the season strong and remained that way throughout the fall. It was a season filled with accomplishments, records and titles that will go down in Butler's historv books.

"We can't give up on this season, that IS not an option," he said. "We are going to fight through this thing, play for pride and end up with a .500 season."

LaRose couldn't ha\e been more right. His squad showed the determi- nation and resolve to comeback two weeks after losing to Drake with a win over Quincy.

One week later, DeWayne Ewing made his return to quarterback for the team's final game of the season. Ewing completed 20-3') passes for 245 yards, threw one

taking a turn for the worse. When all looked lost, the Bulldogs pulled together and triumphed in the end.

"The last two wins let our seniors go out feeling good about the team and themselves, " LaRcise said after the final win, "it takes us into the offseason giving us something to build on. "Already our guys are thinking about next year. We have a lot of work to do, but at least we'll be working on a positive finish."

Men take #2 UCLA to overtime

Veteran, youth players reason for success

The I.U. Matchup.

Copy Editor

The men's soccer team, listed in the NCAA preseason "Top 20." still struggled in an up-and- down season.

According to Head Coach Ian Martin, the team peaked at the right point in the season. Prior to the tournament, the Bull- dogs won four of their final five matches.

This year's team \\ as a mix of experi- ence and youth, which allowed veteran

players to shine and younger players to gain valuable playing time to contribute to the 2000 season's consis- tency.

Senior Stephen Armstrong finished his career in second place in three career record categories including goals, points and shots. He became only the second player in Butler history to accumulate 100 career points and score 20 or more points in four consecutive seasons.

Freshman Michael Mariscalco began his Butler career strong scoring 1 0 points on three goals and four assists. Mariscalco was

nominated for the MCC Newcomer of the Year, but the honor went to a Wright State player.

Junior Giancarlo Bairaza ended his junior season among Butler's career leaders in four offensive categories. He was also named to the MCC All-Conference second team.

Many of the squad's top players will be returning to the men's soccer line-up next year. Twenty of the team's 25 players saw playing time on the field this year. Their experience will contribute to the anticipated success of next season's team.

Slow start, tough finish for women kickers

Making the save

Goalkeeper Tricia Czerniak leaps in effort to stop a header from a Montana opponent.

Staff Writer

The Butler Women's Soccer Program went through several new changes for the 1999 season, one of which was getting an entire ne^v coaching staff. Head coach Woody Sherwood along with assistants Greg Miller and Betsy Costello had their work cut out for them going in to the '99 season. The program graduated 12 seniors, includ- ing 10 starters (the most of any program in the nation). With such devastating losses, the 1999 season was what most would consider to be a "rebuilding" year. Out of 11 players on the field, they started seven freshman, two sophomores and two juniors

with some regularity. Return- ing key players for the Lady Dawgs were sophomores Susanna Hoppe, Sarah Bourgraf, Angela Lehman and juniors Erin Murphy and Alicia Franklin.

As the season began. Coach Sherwood knew it was going to be a very trying and unpredict- able year with schedule that contained six Top 25 teams including eventual National Runner-up, Notre Dame. Midway through the season, freshman goalkeeper, Tricia Czerniak broke her hand and was out for the rest of the year. With no true back-up. Coach Sherwood called upon junior, Meghan Partenheimer, a field player to fill in for the remain- der of the season in the net.

Inexperience, vouth and goalkeeper problems pro\'ed

costlv throughout the year. However, non-conference games against several top programs helped dramatically in the conference schedule as they went 4-1 and finished tied for 1st place. The team looked to get its first NCAA tourney bicl by winning the conference tournament at the end of the year, but was unsuccessful, losing in the semi-finals to the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. Thus, ending a difficult year at 5-1 1-2.

Thirteen freshmen contrib- uted to the successes of the 199' campaign including Kara Brvan, Hadiatu Dumbuya, Martha Gudiel, Kristin Drogell and Amy Morrision. With no losses from graduation in '00, Coach Sherwood and the Bulldogs look forward to great : seasons in the vears to come.

Editor-in-Chief

The Butler men's golf squad completed a suc- cessful campaing for the 1999-2000 season.

The Bulldogs were led by freshman Mitch Foss at the MCC tournament. Foss finished the tourney with a total of 214 over the 54 holes. These marks gave him a tie for sixth place and all MCC hon- ors.

Butler's future looks bright as other top per- formers included fresmen Michael Heston, Brian Couzens and Chris Cirniotich.

Senior Matt Slowinski also performed well at the MCC tourney and throughout the entire season. Slowinski com- piled a team best 75.8 average and had many outstanding rounds plaved in his 4 vear career

at Butler.

The Bulldogs obtained manv trophies throughout the 1999-2000 season including a 1st place finish in the Big Four Classic.

The Bulldogs hope to add a few more trophies to their collection in the following vears (yes, sports story endings are always cheesy). And ves, if the story is too short, we make the font really big.

Second season a success

Season results in overall improvement

By Amber Connolly

Copy Editor

All things take time to build and with each action it becomes stronger. This statement holds true in the case of the 1999 Butler Women's Golf team.

The team was very ^oung, in only its second ^ear of intercollegiate competition. Four fresh- men were a strong addi- tion to the team and with their help this young

program will continue to grow and become even more competitive than they were this season.

One exciting develop- ment this season was that for the first time, Butler hosted the Butler Women's Fall Classic at Saddlebrook Golf Course. It was a two- day tournament with eight other schools joining the Bulldogs in competition. The team finished in the Top 5 in the inaugural competition.

The six members of the team: Christine Fox, Kay Humphrey, Shannon Jameson, Samantha Keith, Kristi Laskowski and Melanie Macleod showed consistent improvement throughout the course of the season.

Continuing to grow and build on the foundation that has been laid in the two years of the team's existence is the name of the game for the Butler Women's Golf team.

First trip to NCAA tourney

Impressive season for many Bulldogs

The Butler baseball squad had a rollercoaster 2000 season, with the team alternating between stretches of inconsistent and brilliant play. Fortunately, the Bulldogs shone for most of the year, relying on several outstanding invididual efforts to rcLich the 20-win mark for the thud straight season, and to fight for control of the MCC standings.

The Bulldogs tied the school record in 2000 for consecutive wins, as the team ran off a series of seven midseason \ ictories. The streak, which followed a slump in which Butler dropped seven of eight games, culminated in a 12-3 victory over lU-Southeast on April 18.

The team enjoyed several football-score victories during that period, including a 20-S win o\er Detroit

w here the Bulldogs hit seven home runs, setting a team single-game record.

The Bulldogs saw impressive contributions from several players. Senior Eric Storey had a stellar season at the plate, as he became Butler's all-time home run leader with a solo shot in a 7-6 victory over Northwestern in March. Storey later set the career RBI record at Butler with a grand slam at Marian College on April 26.

Storey, Luke Murphy and freshman walk-on Ryan Lundervold all battled for the team lead in hitting. Murphy and Storey, who both took Conference Player of the Week honors in March, and Justin Keever provided veteran leadership to the team as well as giving the Bulldogs some of their top offensive weapons.

The Bulldog offense was supported by a very deep Butler pitching staff. Freshman Pat Neshek struck out 14 batters in a seven-inning, complete game \ictor> o\cr ValparaJMi on March

25. Neshek" s performance earned him MCC Pitcher of the Week honors, as did Wes Hoane's impressive showing against Detroit on April 16.

Hoane allowed two hits in eight innings to help defeat the Titans 4- 2, and clinch Butler's first victory in a series at Detroit in school history.

The Bulldogs were helped throughout the season by the efforts of its freshman class. Lundervold came back from a shoulder injury to gi\'e the Bulldogs a threat at the plate, while pitchers Aaron Phillips and Kenny Hughes earned spots in Butler's starting rotation.

The rookies' efforts were complemented by the returns of upperclassmen Jeremy Sinsabaugh and Franco Datillo in April from injuries.

Despite a rash of early-season injuries, the Bulldogs had another strong season, and gave reason to believe that they would remain an MCC powerhouse in the years bevond 2000.

Butler University's Softball team fought their way through a tough season, discovering strengths as they faced challenges. In early April. Butler was at the bottom of the Midwest Collegiate Conference with a 9-20 overall record, but the team kept their attitude positive as they moved into conference play.

As quoted in The Butler Collegian, head coach Dick Welch said. "'We"\'e shown we can beat some of the conference teams. I feel we could finish in the top half [of the conference]." His prediction almost came

The team played well at a key part of the season, taking tu o games from the then .VICC-leading UVV Green Bay Phoeni.x in late April, boosting their confidence and sending them into tourney play with their first three-game winning streak of the season. The Bulldogs entered the conference tournament as the No. 6 seed.

Butler's season ended May 12 with a loss to No. ?< Loyola, 3-0, and No. 7 Detroit. 2-0 in the MCC tournament at North Central High School. The top-seeded Illinois- Chicago Flames won the tourna- ment, their fifth consecutive regular season title.

Throughout the season, the team saw strong play from young players as well as those with more experience. Seniors Tammy McCune. Corinne Roesener and

Carolyn Stoddard played their last games for Butler. Stoddard shares the Butler career home run record.

Freshmen Jeri Keller led the team w ith a .287 batting average, .368 on-base percentage, 41 hits, 14 doubles. 13 RBIs and 19 walks. Keller v\ as named to the MCC All- Newcomer Team, and first baseman to the AU-MCC first team.

Freshman pitcher Melissa Benter's efforts earned her a place on the MCC All-Newcomer Team as well. She struck out 5.5 batters for each she walked on average for the year.

The Bulldogs look forward to the returning talents of starters like Amanda Poast. Kristin Kulpinski, Andrea Keech, Sammi Goldstone, Katie Higgins, Stephanie Burlein, Keller, and Benter, as well as a large recruiting class expected next season.

Successful season for Butler netters

Game

A Butler tennis man serves up something special for his opponent.

By Laurie Bowman

Assistant Editor

Training, patience and aggressive plav paid off in 2000 for the Butler men's tennis team.

The Bulldogs captured a third consecutive MCC championship at North central High School with a 4-0 victory over UlC in the conference semifinals and a 4- 0 vistorv over Wright State in the final match.

The wins brought Butler's season total to a school-record 19 victories with only seven losses.

The team attributed their strong season to several factors, one being the smoother transition between

mdoor play early in the semes- ter to the outdoor season, which started after a Spring Break training trip to Greenlefe, Florida.

The team was also led in many meets by the sophomore doubles team of Jimmy Borendame and Brandon Currie, \vith both also doing well in singles competiton.

Currie's season just kept getting better as he continued to win, matching, then breaking the school record for victories in a single season. He became the first Butler tennis plaver to reach the 30-win mark during MCC tournament play. This brings his two-season total to 56 matches won for the Bull- dogs.

Currie and Borendame were each named to the A11-\ICC

team for the second consecutive season, while freshman Sebastian Koehler earned all- confrence honors for the first time at the league champion- ship. Currie, last year'MCC "Newcomer of the Year," was named MCC "Plaver of the Year" this season.

Freshmen Peter Voelez and Louis Jacobsohn also impressed head coach Jason Suscha.

"We are a team of strictly freshmen and sophomores," Suscha said to a Butler Collegian reporter early in the Bulldog season. "We will have drastic improvements in all our players once they start to gain confi- dence in what we want them to do."

It looks like Suscha's words cif wisdom proved true in 2000.

Orth reveals tennis team's preseason goals

The main goal for the Butler women's tennis team this year has been to win the MCC Conference, whiwould give us an opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament.

Last seasone came in second to the University of Illinois-Chicago and this year we are out for revenge.

The team plays two seasons. There is an individual tournament seaso the fall and the conference matches are

played during the spring season.

This fall we plaved two tournaments at Ball State Unisitv and the University of Detroit. Four individual qualifers also wt to play at the ITA Regional Champi- onships at Ohio State.

At the Detrit Tourna- ment, Butler players won five of the seven divisions. And at the ITA Regional's, Butler's no. 1 plyer, Pamela Rodriguez, upset the number 8 seed from the University of Minnesota in the first round.

The first half of the spring season started out a little rocky, with Rodriguez

out of the line up for the fire first five weeks of the season with a knee injury. Fortimately, she was ready to play in time for the start conference play.

Although it hurt us not to have Rodriguez in the line-up, everyone had the opprtunitv to play up a position. We are hoping this will make us stronger as we enter conference play.

NCAA hopes crushed by eventual runner-up, Florida

By Greg Weitekamp

Staff Writer

It may have been the most successful season in over 50 years for the Butler Bulldog's men's basketball team.

With expectations soaring going into the season, head coach Barry Collier's started the season a disappointing 8-7. The Bulldogs were beaten at the buzzer in three of those loses and lost in overtime in another.

After starting the conference season 1-2 with loses at Cleveland State and Detroit, Butler turned it into high gear. The Bulldogs would win their final 12 regular season games and go unbeaten at home for the first time since Tony Hinkle was the coach.

TheBuIldoas. thouizh. sa\ed

their best games for last. After surviving the first two rounds of the MCC Tournament in Chicago, Butler played two of the finest games this university has seen.

The first came in the MCC Championship game. After splitting the season series with the defendmg MCC Champion Detroit Titans, Butler and Detroit met again. It was the second straight lime the two teams met in the MCC Championship game.

The Bulldogs dominated the Titans in a 19-point blowout win. Sophomore Thomas Jackson, tied a school-record dishing out 15 assists. As a team, Butler assisted on all but two of their field goals.

With the win, Butler earned their third trip to the NCAA Tournament in four years. The Bulldogs entered the tourney carrying their highest seed ever at #12 and faced the fifth seeded Florida Gators.

It was a game that defined the Bulldogs season. Butler controlled the game turning it into a half-court game. Their defense forced Florida to shoot below 40 percent and frustrated the SEC powerhouse.

Butler remained calm as the team carried a seven-point lead into the final five minutes. Florida rallied behind clutch shooting and forced overtime.

In overtime, senior Andrew Graves hit a three-pointer to give the Bulldogs a three-point lead. But just when it looked like the Bulldogs were headed off with the glass slipper, Florida's Mike Miller ended the dream with a touch leaner in the lane as time expired.

The outcome; a 69-68 heartbreak- ing loss.

The season ended in disappoint- ment, but the future holds promise as Butler returns four starters next year and awaits two verv talented recruits.

Women bailers struggle

Team captain discusses challenges of season

T^me^utc^t^^t^ r^l By Alison Edgar

Staff Writer

Making the grab

Junior Julie Schrader pulls in the pass from a teammate while working the paint.

The 1999-2000 season had its Lips and downs. We. as a team, had very high expectations for ourselves. We returned seven players, including four starters, from last year's 17-11 team.

Our team's first chal- lenge came at the end of last year, when a new head coach was named, along with three new assistants. We welcomed the change and were ready to reach the goals we set for ourselves. Our ultimate goal was to win the MCC and eo to the

NCAA tournament.

The season started out on a high note, as we won the UMKC tournament and were runners up at the Arkansas State tournament. The jour- ney towards conference championship consisted of many ups and downs.

We lost six games in a row, before snapping the streak and then winning three in a row. This seemed to be the case all season.

We were very frustrated throughout this period, and we could find no answers. Being a senior captain, I was very frustrated because I had never experienced losing to

this extreme, and 1 didn't know how to fix the problem.

Looking back now. I realize that we didn't gel as a team and never really learned to play together.

We did have a very disappointing year and didn't reach our goals, but in the long run, I think this season will make us all better people.

We had to deal with a lot of adversity, which will only make us stronger.

I would like to thank my fellow senior teammates for always being there for me, especially through the hard times. I love you guys!

Men's work ethic pays off in and out of the pool

Jack Negro

Staff Writer

The Butler Men's Swim Team made impressive strides during the 1999-2000 season.

Scott Cummins, the third head coach in the last four years, began his career at Butler University with convincing victories over Xavier University. lUPUI. and St. Louis University. L'nder the leadership of captains Jack Negro and Brandon Judkins, the season progressed with many strong showings against bigger schools, such as Notre Dame, Western Kentucky. Louisville, and Ball State.

The Christmas training trip to Casey Key, Florida, tested the team's endurance.

The men swam at least two arduous practices per day in an Olympic-sized pool.

The training was intense and it helped to prepare the men for the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Meet in February.

At the MCC swim meet, the Bulldogs broke several team records and scored more points than ever before. Many swimmers placed in the top sixteen, while Brett Balhoff. Jack Negro, and Chris Condle managed to place in the top eight.

The Bulldog's success has made them eager to compete next season. Brett Balhoff is encour- aged by the teams success.

"This season demonstrated our ability to get in the water and compete. We have already signed some impressive recruits, and we should continue to improve," Balhoff said.

Brandon Judkins agreed with Balhoff s comments.

"We would be able to score more points if we had divers," Judkins said.

"However. Hinkle Pool doesn't even have a diving board. So, we go into meets and automatically give away the forty points that are allotted for diving. We lost several meets, strictly because of losing the diving points" Judkins said.

The Butler Men's Swim Team prides itself on the work ethic that their sport demands. The team has 5:30 am practices every morning in addition to afternoon practices. Additionally, the grueling swim season lasts six months, from September until the last weekend of February.

However, the team agrees that all of the hard work pays off and has taught them time management. The team is genuinely proud of the fact that they have managed to meet the demands of swimming while retaining its designation of Academic A 11- American.

Women swimmers ready for action

Record-breaking season keeps spirits high

Megan Zurcher

Staff Writer

"It doesn't matter if they're talking good about us or bad about us. as long as they're talking about us." However, it is likely that this year, they were talking good about us.

After a long season consisting of adjusting to a new coaching program, surviving two practices daily, and overcoming a dysfunc- tional pool, the^l 999-2000 Butler Women's Swim Team was able to step up to one of their best-ever performances and finishes at this year's MCC Tournament held at Cleveland State University.

This accomplishment as well as the winning outcome

of many dual meets was due in part to the extreme depth of the team as well as the steady building of the program. This consisted of a strong incoming freshman class all the way through dedicated senior leadership. Senior Sara Hillman said of her experience. "It has been neat to see the changes in this program just over the past four years. In my four seasons here at Butler. I have swam for three different coaches, and each year we get stronger as individuals and as a team."

This was made evident at year's end through numerous top eight finishes including first place performances by senior Jenny Easterday. sophomore Melinda Harrald and freshman Laura Dill.

Also almost every record on the board was brought down.

Junior Gina Bullard stated of the season. "Being a part of this team is such a rewarding experience. Not only do we work well together in the pool in our efforts to meet our personal and team goals, but we get the opportunity to make many lasting memories and develop lifelong friend- ships."

With another season comes another set of expectations, and with the pattern of increased success following the program, those expectations will be set high.

Coach Scott Cumins verified that "seeing how hard these girls work everyday, along with their positive, upbeat attitudes. I have every reason to feel secure in the continued development and achievement of this pro- gram."

Chris Boone

Staff Writer

Butler lacrosse entered a new era this year with the coaching debut of fomier player Craig Kahoun. On the field though nothing much changed as the Bulldogs once again proved to be one of the nation's fastest growing and competitive programs.

Continuing with Butler tradition, Kahoun loaded the schedule with top ranked opponents, once again making their slate of games one of the

toughest in the country. Finish- uig w ith a 5-9 record, the defending Great Western League champions had chances to win games against #3 Loyola and

this \ears league champion Notre Dame.

The Bulldogs also took on top ten teams in Duke. North Carolina and Virginia.

Whatever game experience was gained in those match-ups will go a long way to improving a young core of players returning. The team will lose their scoring leader in Mike Regan and their playmaker in Chris Vosburgh. Vosburgh leaves Butler second on the all-time assist list and Regan ranks fourth all-time in goals w ith 104.

He became only the fourth player in Butler history to record 100 goals for his career. They will be missed, but junior Doug Patterson became a legitimate scoring machine this season and transfers Garrett Rosecrans and Geoff Stark provide solid midfield play.

This sea.son was a statement year for senior goalie Marc Ferrandino and he made a big one Ferrandino earned the starting position in the preseason and neve relinquished it for the entire year. His solid leadership between the pipes will prove invaluable to sophomore understudy Brendan Winkler who will try to fill Ferrandino's shoes next season. Along with a solid nucleus of young defensemen like Jason Mauro. Adam Callahan and Carson Beegle. next year's opponents will face a formidable challenge in putting the ball in the net.

Overall. Kahoun's first year was a positive one in establishing his college coaching career and he will no doubt waste no time in showcasing his Bulldog team onct again as a premiere lacrosse program.

Butler scores at National Meet

^^^ Fraser Thompson leaves his mark

Laurie Bowman

Assistant Editor

The Butler men's truck team earned a solid third place finish in their last

meet of the season during the MCC Championships, bringing a strong season to

a close.

Freshman Alex Hall sprinted to win in the 100- meter dash with a time of 10.70. He also took second in the 200-meter dash with 22.07. making Hall one of three Butler athletes to claim individual titles in the meet. Junior

Fraser Thompson notched a double-win by capturing the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 4: 12X1 and

then winning the 1 ..'^00 meter race less than an hour later in 3:57.25. Junior Justin Young took Butler's final title in the 5.000-meter race with a time of 14:54.96.

But the MCC meet was just the beginning of some of the most impressive performances by Butler runners. Distance runners Fraser Thompson fromVictoria. Australia and Justin Young from Peoria. Illinois, each qualified for the NCAA Outdoor National Championship May 3 1 -June 3.

Thompson became the first Bulldog in more than half a century to score NCAA points for Butler. He took seventh place in the 5.000-meter run with a time of 13:58.07, ten seconds slower than his school record-setting 13:48.55.

The two points Thompson was awarded marked the first time since 1948 that the Bulldogs scored in the national meet.

Young also brought Butler a non-scoring, 1 1th place finish with a time of 3 1 : 1 3.64 in the 10.000 meter run.

"Fraser and Justin both ran extremely well at the national meet," stated Butler head coach Joe Franklin in a press release. He accompanied both athletes to Durham, N.C.

"Fraser ran a great race, and actually took the lead with about a mile and a half to go before dropping back. Justin led the 1 0.000 for the first three and a half miles, but probably lacked the experience at that level to hang onto the lead."

"If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, whicti one would you ttiink liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong though. It's Hambone." - Jack Handey

"Butler has a hockey team ,'"

Stich a question was common at the beginning of the hockey season this past year.

However, hy the end of their season, the team had made a name for them- selves on Butler's campus and elsewhere. Team president and junior forward Chris Dietz said. "What has made this season so much fun is the fact that we are so much more competitive than we have been in the past." The Butler hockey team played schools both within and out of their division. Even as a division III team.

they played division II teams such as Purdue University and DePaul University.

The team had its share of obstacles. They lacked a coach, and was only able to hold practice once per week. The team also struggled financially throughout past years and into this season.

Their funding problems soon changed, after their season ended with an 1 1-7 record and an invitation to the American Colle- giate Hockey Association national tournament in Annapolis, Md. from March .^ -5.

The team did not at first anticipate being able to go to the tournament because of costs and debt. Sophotnore defenseman Ryan VanZant said. "We pretty much figured we weren't going to the tournament. We were just proud to have been invited."

However. Butler LIniversity

gave the team a $40(X) grant, including transportation and lodging for the tournament. Union Planters Bank also granted the team S73().

The team did not disappoint. In the first game of the tournament, the Bulldogs won 7-2 against American University. The second game against Georgia Tech ended in Butler's favor with a score of 5- 2, sending the team to the champi- onship game.

They returned to play Georgia Tech again in that fateful, final game. The Bulldogs shut them out u ith a final score of 3-0.

The Bulldogs ended the tournament with a perfect 3-0 record, giving them the ACHA Division III National Champion- ship title.

Next year, the team will return to the tournament to defend their title and their respect.

Sports banquet announces years' top athletes

Courtesy of www.butlersports.com

W.' Seniors Mike Marshall (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Meghann Berrier (Westerville, Ohio) walked away with the top male and female athletic awards at Butler University's annual all-sports reception held at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Wednesday afternoon.

The year-ending event was held to pay tribute to Butler's 19 athletic teams and included the presenta- tion of most valuable player and mental attitude awards, plus several special recognition and scholarship awards, to Butler's student-athletes.

Marshall, who helped lead Butler's men's basketball team to

four consecutive 20- win seasons and four straight postseason tournament appearances, was named Butler's Male Athlete of the Year.

He finished his Butler career in fifth place on the Bulldogs' all-time rebounding list, while playing in a school-record 126 career games. He was a two-time All-Midwestem Collegiate Conference performer and two-time Butler most valuable player.

Berrier, one of the top female distance runners in Butler history, was named Butler's Woman Athlete of the Year.

She helped Butler to four consecutive women's cross country championships, while recording the fastest women's cross country time in Butler history. She earned All-MCC honors three times and was named the Bulldogs' most valuable player last season.

Juniors LaVall Jordan (Albion. Mich.) and Lynze Lysen (Frankfort, 111.) were named recipients of the Paul D. "Tony" Hinkle Scholarship for outstanding athletic achieve- ment.

Jordan was the leading scorer on Butler's 23-8 men's basketball team last winter, while Lysen was the most valuable player on Butler's women's volleyball squad.

Juniors Fraser Thompson (Victoria, Australia) and Kyhe Galbraith (Andersonj received

Star Athletes

^&

Helen Tewksbury Awards for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and athletics.

Thompson was named MCC "Newcomer of the Year" in cross country last fall, while Galbraith was a team captain and assist leader on Butler's volleyball squad. Both earned a 4.0 grade point average last fall.

Sophomore Melinda Harrald (Arlington Hts., 111.), a two-time school record-holder on the women's swimming team, was named the recipient of a $1,000 Dean Herbert F. Schwomeyer Scholarship, presented for out- standing athletic and academic achievement. She's maintained a perfect 4.0 grade point average for two years.

The Frank "Pop" Hedden Award, which honors Butler's outstanding male and female freshman student-athletes was presented to men's basketball player Joel Cornette (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Softball pitcher Melissa Benter (Mayville, Wis.).

Spartan Spirit

Back in the days when alternate cheerleaders were

By Karen Sells

Staff Writer

Once dismissed simply as the \'oice of school spirit, the Butler University cheerlead- ers are proving once and for all the legitimacy of their sport.

Unlike other athletes, the

Butler squad commits to an

entire year of participation,

divided between football in

the fall and basketball in the

winter and spring.

Additionally, they cheer at select women's basketball and men's and women's soccer games, making ior a busy schedule of challenging workouts.

Practicing six hours a week

and cheering most Thursdays and weekencis, they somehow manage to find enough time for greek invoh'ement, student government, academic honoraries and social lives.

While focusing their immedi- ate efforts on their performance at games, there always exists a larger goal of sweeping up the competition at cheerleading camp.

"My favorite memory is of camp in Wisconsin," freshman cheerleader Beth Toon said. "We all bonded and did really well. We even walked away with five trophies."

It is clear that these pepsters defy the classic stereotype that cheerleaders are airheads.

Butler squad members are leaders on campus, successful

in the classroom, and profes- sionals at the tricky task of time management.

Though rarely acknowl- edged for their diverse accom- plishments. Toon notes that it is refreshing to receive a pat on the back from others on campus every once in a while.

"Most of the people I meet want to know about my experi- ences cheerleading," she said. "I really appreciate the sup- port."

The squad is comprised of two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and seven fresh- man.

They completed a successful year in the 1999-2000 season and stands poised to further hone their skills in the follow-

mg year.

Dancers enthrall crowos

For the love of dance

By Karen Sells

staff Writer

It is a little known fact that the Butler University dance team is truly a labor of love. With no professional chore- ographer, faculty sponsor, or coach, the women on the team draw primarily on their love of dance as the motiva- tion for their efforts.

You will find them during the week practicing in the Atherton Fitness Center under the shameless watch of the male students lifting weights and center stage at almost everv campus-^vide student rally and competition. And that is when they are not performing at half-time.

Their efforts have paid off over the years as the team is quicklv becoming one of the

most in-demand acts for campus events, and the star of such traditions as Geneva

Stunts and Spring Sing.

The dance team is a much- needed outlet for those who are interested in less traditional methods of dance then the Jordan College of Fine Arts has to offer, or who have had some dance experience in high school, but not enough to pursue it as their major concentration.

Auditions are held annuallv for new members and anyone interested in commit- ting time, sweat, creativity anci talent to the team is encouraged to attend.

Commencement

2000

It was strange to look around and see the faces you came to know so well over the past 4 years and realize that we were all going separate ways. We were all heading into the next phases of our lives. It was exciting and sad. Sad, not because we worried we would lose touch with our best friends, but because we realized how many paths had crossed our own and were suddenly branching off. Exciting because the success ahead of us all was now that much closer.

quick word or two from Chad Martin, Editor-in-Chief

If anyone wanted to find me during the 1999-2000 year at But- ler, they could have found me in the Drift office, where I spent a majority of my senior year. Sure, I still got out often, but my ulti- mate goal was to create the great- est publication known to man. With this goal I was also expect- ing the immediate title of "King of the World." But if that goal was set to high, then my second goal was to create one of the best yearbooks Butler had ever seen. The reader will obviously be the judge.

Progress was hindered by only having a single computer (and a Macintosh computer for that matter). Student apathy also made creating a yearbook more difficult. Asking someone to sub- mit a photo, answer a question, or write a story was of extreme difficulty.

My idea behind a successful yearbook was lots of photos and funny captions. And I believe there are plenty of photos of stu- dents participating in a variety of

activities. With all of these pho- tos, surely there was one caption or photo that made you laugh.

I searched through the entire collection of Drift yearbooks from olden days and compiled the best ideas and photos to be used in this year's edition.

Those students appearing in this year's Drift were either in front of a Drift camera or submit- ted photos of their own. So if you did not appear in the yearbook, but you would like to, submit photos to the Drift office with you in it.

Taking a healthy majority of this year's workload, I feel I have still managed to create an excel- lent historical document captur- ing the lives of many students in the year 2000, sometimes con- trasting them to students of Butler's past.

With that said, here are a few photos from experiences that Butler has created for me. And yes, the new rule is if you finish the yearbook you get your own page in it.

That's me receiving a Iiug from Barbara Hobbs and Tony Lamont ter winning a million dollars on "Hoosier Millionaire."

0\.\YZ(M^U^C^fl^\'\?^ve passed with much sadness and splendor. We took the cards we were dealt and built, creating an institution which influenced us and that we influenced. Balancing studies, sports, extracurricular, family and time for self, we did it. We accomplished what we knew we could cio - proudly graduating with a diploma from the prestigious ^CCtC&l T€hc~

The hands of time continue to tick as a foreground to the future. Where each of us will end up is known only by Destiny (not by some girl you know named Destiny, but by the idea of Destiny). The ^6<524^is behind us. Keep your eye on the road that lies ahead of you.
