Class of 1984 Special feelings overcome students as they enter their final year of college. Seniors enjoy the feeling of being upperclassmen but at the same time realize that the end of a way of life is approaching. Starting with the move back to Newark in early September, the senior was performing routine tasks for the final time. As fall turned to winter students went through senior checkout and selected their courses for one last semester. February marked the final feel- ing of anticipation at the first day of class and a final trip to the bookstore for textbooks. Luckily this sense of finality also brought fond memories to the senior and served to inspire the senior to enjoy the benefits of student life that are otherwise overlooked. While serving as a conclusion to a chapter of the individuals life, senior year also presents a tremendous opportunity for the senior to en- joy one year of college as preparations are made for a lifetime. Conferring the bachelors degrees, President Trabant turns the class of 1984 into alumni. Filing into the mall, these seniors prepare to graduate in 1962. Wilmer E.
