E D I T O D I A L Which way will you turn? It^ time again to take the pictures off the wall, dust ofT the memories of Corn- huskin’, dances, picnics, intramurals, and friends and pack them away in our hearts. It^ hard to say good-l^e, especially to a place that has made our dreams come true for the last four years. But, as Tho- reau said, ‘Things do not change; we change.” Meredith will remain intact along with its traditions and ideals. We, however, have a long road ahead of us. We are at the crossroads. Which way will you turn? Some will many, some will start careers; some will simply play. Whichever way we choose to turn, we must remember we are a product of our environment, an environment we consciously chose after graduating from high school. Now we must choose again the environment we want to shape and be shaped by. We, as seniors, will leave Meredith on May 11. But, even after we leave, we will be remembered because we have made an impression. Pm sure each of us can recall some instance in which a lasting impr»- sion was made. Perhaps it was with a professor or your little sister or an organi zation. This year in itself will be a memor able one for many years to come: the space shuttle tragedy, the controversy over admitting men to Mei^ith^ gradu ate program, the Soviet nuclear disaster, student government's luminary project. This year will be remembered. Now is a time for looking back and taking stock of our lives, As Dr. Lewis said at the baccalaureate service, we must determine who we are, where we are and where we are going. As we leave Mere^ dith, we will cherish the friendships we have developed and the accomplishments we have made. But, we must also look forward to new friends, a new home and a new beginning. We have a firesh start. The slate is wiped clean and it’s time to meet the next challenge — the challenge of success. Meredith has prepared us for that chal lenge not only with a degree but also with a foundation of strong character. Living under the honor code for four years at Meredith will surely carry over in our future lives. We have learned to be upright and honest or else pay the consequences. Also, we have learned that self-satisifac- tion can be a much greater reward than any other external measures of achieve-, ment. There is nothing like the exhilara tion of knowing you have done your best. Seniors plan for the future? by Terry Williams, Staff Reporter The Class of 1986 is approaching the dawn of a new day — the sky’s the limit and they are future-bound! Just what might these soon-to-be Meredith Alum nae be up to in the years to come? Of course, many of these women have ac quired employment — ranging from data processing to education.

' reached the height of your potential, 8u^ passed what you thought were your own limitations. Yet, still we are challenged now to reach for. higher goals. While we have mastered the theories in our chosen fields of study, now we must put them into practice. The words we read in textbooks are meaningless unless-we can utilize them by demonstrating our knowledge. As graduates from a womens coUee, we are ako challenged to prove wrong August Strindberg, one of many theorists and writers who believes woman is simply the biological intermediary between man and child. We have been prepared to work competitively with men^ beside men and above men. it is time to leave Meredith with the memories of the good and the bad. remembering always it was our time here that made us what we are today. Although we will not have a room of our own to come back to in, the fall, there will always be a place for us at Meredith. As alum nae, we will continue to be a part of the Meredith community. Just as students at Meredith, we, as alumnae, will be en couraged to remain active in the affairs andgrowthoftheCoUege.ltisyourdeci- ^ sion. Which way will you titm? Whichever road you choose, remember to look back but strive to reach forward looking up, always up. Don't .let your dreams slip away. Good luck and God- speed.

Kim Raper: Married in June, pregnancy by Juiy, watching “Young and the Restless” and crying right along with Paul and Lauren — a typical Meredi^ graduate. Joan Collins: 111 probably wander around Myrtle Beach looking for a place to take a shower. Lisa Taylor: I hope to be employed. And to echo Lisa Taylor, I hope we are all employed. There are many other “worthy professions” that the Class of ’86 will involve themselves ii| Whatever the time ahead contains —just remember — they are our future...
