Students, faculty, and
visitors alike agree on
one thing about Marist
College, the beauty of
its campus. Everyone
admires the wide green
spaces, the eclectic
buildings, the many trees
growing everywhere,
and the atmosphere of
the campus as a whole.
At Marist, you will find
approximately 4000 stu-
dents who have the op
portunity to relax in the
natural charm of what

Hard Work Pays Off in the Long run
Q:
What's the hard-
est part about classes?
A:
When
your
teach-
ers get
together and 300
things are all due at the
same time!
-- Mark
Conway,
Junior
Can
you
imagine going to a
college where you would not
have to do any work or
study
for any classes? Then you
would be free to hang out
with your friends all day.
Some of us do this anyway,
but in the real world we have
to put in a fair share of
study-
ing in order to
succeed,
which is usually an hour or
so before a test. Marist
stu-
dents have found ways to
make
studying
a
little less painful. Whether
in a group, or on their own,
inside or out, one thing is for
certain,
Marist
students
know how to have fun no
mattter what they are doing!

Student Life After Classes
At Marist,
life beyond
.
classes
is
more than
just a party.
By now we have learned
that classes and studying
are only a small part of
college life. Many of us
are involved in campus
clubs, activities, and jobs.
It
is said that the best
times of our lives will be
in college and the friends
we make will last a life- there is never a shortage of
time. I don't think that good times. Students at

College Is About
Learning ...
College is not as simple as learning the
things they teach you in all your Core
classes. It's more about learning how to
listen to the things that go unspoken, or
how to voice your opinion without hurt-
ing your peers. College makes you
aware of who you are, who you thought
you were, and who you want to be. It's
about changing and learning how to
accept things for what they are. Learn-
ing how to pack your life, remembering
what not to forget, and learning what you
can do without. College teaches us how
to miss our family and friends enough to
remember them, but also how not to let
those memories keep us from growing.
It's about living your life for yourself
and nqt for everyone else. College is
about learning, learning how to be your-
self.

A YEAR FILLED WITH DECISIONS
As Sophomores
you make many
decisions that
affect your
future
During this Sophomore
year at Marist College,
as
in past
semesters,
ma-
jors were declared, mi-
nors pondered, groups
of friends were molded,
and independence was
gained. Upper Cham-
pagnat, the Mid-Rise,
Benoit, and Gregory
were the homes for these
older and wiser Sopho-
mores. With this new
know ledge that they
gained over the past two
years, they look toward
their future with greater
certainty and reassur-
ance as they enter the
second half of their un-
derclassman years.

Freedom is
the

own
deci-
I
sions ...
Junior
year
is the best
year of
college life. Whether you
choose
to live
on campus or
off,
you still
have more free
-
dom than you have had dur-
ing your freshman or
sophmore years. You
also
don't have the burden of wor
-
rying about what you
are
go
-
ing to do
after
graduation be-
ca~se
you
still
have
a
year
to
think.
If
you
do decide to
live
on
campus, you have the
opportunity to live in Gartland
or the townhouses
where you
have the
advantage of
being
able
to cook
for yourself
in the
comfort of your own
kitchen.
Your
movement
around
the
campus isn't
as
controlled be
-
cause
you
don't have to
swipe
your
I.D.
card
wherever
you go
and guest
passes
are
no longer nec-
essary if you want
friends
from
off
campus
visiting you.
By your junior
year, you should
be decided
about
your
major
and
thinking
about in-
ternships. It is
a year
in
which stu-
dents prepare themselves to
enter
their final
year in college,
but
it
is
also a
year
in which the
students
1
need to
accept their
responsibilities
in other
areas of life.

As

HEY THERE
On

arewelf lo I.he deniors
I would like to offer my congratulations and best wishes on your
graduation from Marist College. Your commencement marks the
close of our 50th anniversary celebration. As members of this special
class, you have witnessed significant growth at Marist-- growth in our
campus facilites and growth in our reputation. As graduates of our
institution, you will go out and continue to build the good name of
Marist College.
As you leave our campus to pursue a career or graduate study, you
will find a world that is rapidly changing and increasingly complex.
The new global village you are about to encounter will be a place of
great challenge and great opportunity. The years you have spent at
Marist have provided you with the foundation to meet these chal-
lenges as well as take full advantage of the many opportunities that
await you.
Your Marist education has given you the intellectual tools and the
professional competencies to be constructive members of the organi-
zations in which you work and the communities in which you live
.
I
also hope your experience at Marist has instilled in you a
sense
of
values and a spirit of service
,
particularly to the less fortunate in our
society.
As we say good-bye to you as undergraduates, we welcome you
back to Marist as alumni of the College. I look forward to
seeing
you
at Homecoming weekend and other alumni events
,
and encourage
you to continue you involvement with Marsit. As alumni, you are now
stakeholders
in this institution, and yo~r participation in the life of our
College will be vital to our continued growth and developement.
Again, congratulations on all your accomplishments and best of
luck in all your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
tf2~

Yl(essage
Jo
J.he
Glass
Of
1997
These past four years at Marist College have been the most exciting years of
our lives, thus far. We have made the closest of friends and the fonde
s
t of
memories. Now during the next phase of our lives, we will move on and make
even more friends and more great memorie
s
. Nothing, however, can replace the
amazing experience of being at Marist College. From our first days in the
freshman dorms to our last days as college students, the Class of 1997 has
demonstrated our abilities to remain unique while working together through it
all. We have also shown the Marist College community that while we were able
to succeed academically, we were able to participate, at the same time, in all that
college life had to offer.
The amount of spirit that our class displayed throughout these four years
could not have been any greater. Some of the best student-athletes as well as
academic scholars were members of the Class of 1997. We should take pride
in all that we have accomplished
.
We will be a class that will always be
remembered by the Marist community. We were the first class to have the
opt
i
on of residing in the midrise and to donate an alumni room in the upcoming
new library, and the last class to have mailboxes in the freshman dorms. We
have so many memories to hold onto and so many dreams we have yet to pursue.
Let us always remember our days here at Mari
s
t College whether it be eating
in the cafeteria, registering for classes, or getting soaked at River Day. Bringing
back all the
s
pecial ti~es we shared will help us through the good times and the
bad times we will encounter in the future. Let us take the time to mark our goals
and set out to accomplish them, not letting anything stand in our way. Most of
all
,
we must always remember that nothing is out of reach for the Clas
s
of 1997 !
Best Wishes
,
Christopher Kadus
President of the Class of 1997

Student Government
AssOciation ...
The Student Government Association 1s responsible for overseemg the numerous
aspects of student llfe at Manst, mcludmg clubs and activities. It 1s the responsibihty of
all members of SGA to stay informed and aware of college action impacting students and
to protect the nghts of our peers. We encourage mput m college pohcy ma.long through
the appointment of student representatives to college committees.
Over the past year, SGA has been responsible for a number of enhancements to
campus
lJfe.
For the first time, there
will be student representation on a number of faculty
cmmmttees to
better meet the needs of students. The Student Programmmg Council
brought us the
two largest acts that Marist has ever seen. Jewel and Toad the Wet
Sprocket, thus ending the question "'will Manst ever have a big band?" The 21 society
was reinstituted and seniors were actually able to select the graduation speaker, Rep.
Susan Molinari (R-NY), for the first time ever We had another first this past year a
student speaker at the Baccalaureate. Also, seven clubs received charters that will
enhance the Marist College Commurnty, each
m
their own umque way
.
We tried to be a bit more noticeable this year by getting out to the students rather
then waitmg for them. Members of SGA walked around the residence halls on three
separate occasions rather then wait for students to visit the office. The newly updated
SGA web page had its 2000th hit and included the weekly minutes of SGA meetmgs.
Finally, this year we truly exercised an open door policy where the doors really were
open.
I would like to take thls opportumty to thank the vanous members of the Manst
College Commumty who helped
us
this year Congratulations to all club officers who
improved their club and held successful events
.
To all the members of Student
Government I thank you to for your tireless, and sometimes unnoticed efforts to make
Marist a better place for students. Finally, I would like to thank all the members of the
student body who took the time throughout their college careers to improve at least one
thing. These people, who take the time to help, are the ones that make Marist so great.

The Reynard ...
It
was great to be a part of the group producing
this year's Reynard. Everyone was always
hard at work trying to meet deadlines, yet a
relaxed atmosphere was maintained amongst
the committee members.

It






This year's yearbook was a real
challenge. It was important to
produce a book that truly re-
flected all the aspects of college
life at Marist. The title of the year-
book was our inspiration. Even though the staff of the
Reynard had a delayed start, and therefore had to work
twice as hard in trying to get the yearbook finished in time.
In all my years of being part of a yearbook committee, I
have never seen such dedication in so small a staff. Many
of the editors who decided to take the challenge of super-
vising an entire section had had no previous experience
producing a college level yearbook. This didn't seem to
stop them from producing some excellent pages, they
made me proud to be their editor-in-:-chief. I hope that the
committees to come show as much enthusiasm. If they do,
Marist will never have the problem of not having a year-
book
.
of high quality to reflect what it really stands for.
Best of luck,
Olayinka Taylor Lewis
Editor-in-Chief
