Back in the days of North Park College, when we were still The College News, women were brand new residents of Burgh Hall, the Cranny satisfied our late night munchies and ARA had a Center Stage food station. Students found community through C am pU S t r a d it io n s such as the tar and feather ritual, Stoagies on the Hump, and, of course, the Freshman Streak. The ‘Wood accepted our fake Swedish ID ’s, and we didn’t risk demerits by owning them. Almost every class was in Carlson Towers, the mailroom was in Caroline Hall, the com­ puter lab was confined to one room, and Foster Avenue was home to Land of Za Pizza. W e r e m e m b e r when all students with meal plans were fined for “ borrowing” ARA dishes, when a “ flasher” terrorized campus before security tracked him down, and when the administration wisely con­ fiscated Sohlberg Hall’s newly-purchased Jerry Springer video. Over the past four (or five) years, we’ve seen Big Chuck evolve into an arguably great columnist, we’ve eaten more Jerry burgers than anyone ever should, and we’ve challenged ourselves to m a t u r e in mind, body and soul. Some of us have studied, some of us haven’t; some of us are getting married, some of us haven’t had a date in the last four years; some of us have r u n n a k e d a c ro s s c a m p u s , some of us have merely watched and thrown raw eggs at them. But we’ve all c h a n g e d . Our time at North Park has shaped us as individuals and citizens, and none of us leave unaffected from our college experience. Before we head our separate ways, all s e n io rs can benefit from pausing to remember some of our f a v o r it e tim e s and le s s o n s from our years at North Park.
