A Time to Remember Elizabethtown College has been making its mark on the world for 100 years. Whether through academics, sports, clubs and organizations, or community service, the institution has formed a solid foundation for the thousands of students and faculty members that have walked down the campus' paths. The theme Making Our Mark reflects not only the school-wide Centennial celebration, but also the arrival of the new millenium. The use of the double "M" symbolizes the year 2000 in Roman Numerals, and unites each section of the book to demonstrate the ways in which Elizabethtown College continues to make its mark on the world every day. —Kristy Hauer KJo-Cjo//ors in (j/i/ef vjori Jiuntzinaer and Jtristi/ Jiauer 2 • Opening wn&*fi'i'tntn The People Behind the 2000 Conestogan 7i'<///av ( tin ards Jltitltt Cdwards Jissi.slant tjditors Sports (editors L unn J~infi~ 7aIf ( r/c f\/ar/e ~ (Jprina f%% L>opt/ Jjusiness JKanaaer (editor J noloorap/i 1/ (iditor Jlale tjimmons JJnesneija Ouoe tL)aran CjJi'ue Opening • 3 Special Events •<;*.- >v't H jKemoraole JlLoments &5r Before coming to Elizabethtown, you are ~SRgp Z3 forever hearing "small town, small college."

This describes the frenzied chaos of August 26th—moving day. New faces could be seen running in and out of their dorms, trying to unload cars, vans, trucks and U-Hauls as quickly as possible before their twenty minute parking time expired and they had to register. The pace did not slow down; the rest of the weekend proved to be just as hectic. Elizabethtown College and its Activites Planning Board had activities scheduled for the new students every minute of the day. As a result, many freshmen felt as though they did not have enough time to unpack their belongings, arrange their new living quarters, and bond with their roommates. As the initial weekend drew to a close, the upperclassmen moved in, and on Monday, without a chance to catch their breath, freshmen were introduced to the rigors of college classes.

Members of the class of 2003 were welcomed into the college community at the annual freshmen induction ceremony. The centennial Convocation ceremony afforded an opportunity for faculty, students, and friends of the college to join for a time of reflection on the previous year's academic acheivements and to introduce the possibilities of the dawning academic season. Centering on themes of service learning, community relationships, and academic excellence. Convocation highlighted newly promoted faculty members and college scholars. President Long's message, "Making our mark on the world," offered insight into the college's rich Brethren heritage, mission, and strategic plan continuing our tradition of excellence. He exorted us not to become comfortable with our past accomplishments, but to "sail well" through the rocky canyon of time. —Wesley Bricker and Kate Simmons Members of the college faculty helped to honor the award recipients at Convocation.
