will be completing their fifth
year in an engineering program.
These statistics are very good,
and with the continued efforts in
achieving academic excellence
of our present students and
students to come, Spelman will
continue to produce some of the
finest graduates in the country.
HARDING from page 6
love to the cast and crew who
made the shovy a success.
“I’m Getting My Act Together
And Taking It On The Road” was
a great experience. Having
worked with such fine, talented
people, taught me a lot. The
curtains will remain closed, thus
ending a chapter in our lives... It
has been real."
Harding said she plans to
attend graduate school and
wants to become a casting direc
tor.
She stated, "It won't be long
before I’m taking my act on the
road."
MOTTO from page 9
standards, without some spiritual
undergirding - is education that
is useless. The motto is not
irrelevant although it may not
mean the same today as it did in
the past.
The ramifications for all this for
the future are many. Suffice it to
say that it is the responsibility of
present Spelmanites to unders
tand the past, appreciate the
present in order to secure the
future. And the best security that
this institution has for the future
is to hold on to the deeper
meaning and implications of the
motto, "Our Whole School for
Christ." To deny the future this
consideration will be to deny the
past - and without a past there is
no future.
SENIOR REFLECTS
continued from page 5
Senior year is the year that I’ve
been waiting for. I had received
and sent out all of my media
school applications before I
returned. I began going for
interviews at the beginning of
September. It seemed that I was
leaving every week. Sydney my
neighbor, always came to her
door as I was leaving to say, "Off
again?” I had never missed class
before until that time. I think that
I missed 1/4 of the semester. I
made the AKA line this time. I
was only taking 15 hours and
though that I was failing some
classes because of my extra
curricular activities. I didn’t. I
had a 3.8G.P.A.forthesemester!
I amazed myself.
Now I am nearing the close of
my matriculation at Spelman. I
have been accepted to the media
school of my choice and am
taking 12 hours, so I am really
relaxing. When I look back, I
don't see anything that I would
change about the past. I have
learned so much from all of my
experiences and made some
really good friends that I am sure
will last a lifetime. I think that
Spelman was the best choice for
schools that I could have made,
because it has offered me the
opportunity to emerge from my
shell and reach for the stars.
If I were to leave any advice to
my younger sisters it would be to
those who do not believe that
there is a sisterhood... “You get
out of life what you put into it. If
you don’t see a sisterhood, then
you are not being a sister to
yourself." I also wish to thank the
faculty and staff for their en
couragement, support and help.
They are there to help us and we
should accept their help.
I will truly miss Spelman after
graduation.
