In 1996, Marist College will celebrate 50 years of
being chartered by the State of New York to grant
bachelor's degrees. What started as a seminary for the
training of future Marist Brothers has developed into one
of the leading colleges of the arts and sciences in the
Northeast. Marist College is now home to approximately
3,200 undergraduate men and women and nearly 600
graduate students. The first graduation class in 1947
consisted of four Marist Brothers. Today, more than
14,000 alumni call Marist their alma mater. Marist has a
proud tradition that laid the foundation for a state-of-the-
art campus for students preparing to enter the work force
of the 21st century.
We all have our impressions about the world
around us, however, when we all first stepped onto this
J
campus, we had an impression put upon us about
Marist. For some, this campus was the beginning of a
new life and home; a life full of lasting friendships, quality
education, and many career-starting opportunities. We
can all look back at the day we first formed our impres-
sions and see how much has actually changed. For
most, Marist still offers many of the same impressions as
it did in the beginning, but now they have become end-
less. The opportunities Marist has to offer is just the key
•
to the door of success; each of us has the map. There-
fore, we have all contributed something to Marist; we
have all made an impression on Marist as well. The stu-
dents which graduate from this college leave with a
wealthy background and will make an impression on the
world.

Marist College follows in the tradition
of great institutions like Harvard Uni-
versity and the College of William and
Mary, which were founded as semi-
naries and developed into indepen-
dent academics of higher learning.
Marist can trace its roots to 1905
when the Marist Brothers purchased
property, St. Ann's Hermitage. In 1908,
the Edward Bech estate was pur-
chased by the Brothers to enable the
Hermitage to expand. It is on these
properties that Marist College stands
today.
In 1929, college-level courses were
first offered. In 1946, the official, four-
year charter was granted by the State
of New York under the leadership of
founding president Brother Paul
Ambrose Fontaine, FMS. The Broth-
ers set out to construct several build-

ings
on what was then called Marian
College; a gymnasium (now Marian
Hall) in 1947; Our Lady Seat of Wis-
dom Chapel in 1953; the Brothers'
residence (now the Library) in 1954;
Adrian Hall in 1957.
Dr. Linus Richard Foy became presi-
dent in 1958 and became, at age 28,
the youngest college president in the
United States.
Marian College be-
came Marist College in 1960. In that
same year, the mission of the College
was broadened to include the wider
community; lay male students were
admitted to pursue undergraduate
studies. An evening division was also
introduced to serve the educational
needs of the surrounding communi-
ties.
Sheahan Hall opened as the first
campus residence hall in 1962, fol-
lowed by Leo Hall in 1963 and
Champagnat Hall, named for the
founder of the Marist Brothers, in 1965.
Leonidoff Field, the first major athletic
field, was dedicated in 1968.
Donnelly Hall was built by the Broth-
ers in 1962, and named for Brother
Nilus Donnelly who supervised con-
struction of the 12 major facilities by
the Marist Brothers on the campus.
Donnelly Hall was renovated between
1989-91 to house a science center,
the computer center, fine arts, class-
rooms, lecture halls, and administra-
tive offices. This landmark building,
whose constructio'n enabled Marist
College to open its doors to the com-
munity, remains to this day a living
tribute to those dedicated men who
were the founders and builders of
Marist College.

zstory
Women were admitted into the
evening division in 1966. In 1968,
women entered the day division,
making the College fully coeduca-
tional. Ownership of the College
was transferred in 1969 to the Marist
College Educational Corporation
with an independent board of trust-
ees
.
Nonetheless
,
,
the legacy of the
Marist Brothers of serving and striv-
ing for excellence continued to in-
spire and enrich the academic life
of the College
.
Under President Foy
'

leadership in the 1970
'
s
,
programs
for the educationally disadvantaged
were expanded
,
a computer center
was added, graduate programs in
business administration and com-
munity psychology were instituted
,
and the James J. McCann Recre-
ation Center was completed.
In 1973, the College began a coop
-
erative program with area second-
ary schools
,
in which selected high
school seniors take freshman
courses through Marist and "bridge
"
into college
.
In Fall 1974
,
the Col-
lege expanded its commitment to
continuing education by increasing
course offerings in the evening divi-
sion and summer session and, in
1984, opened an off-campus center
in the southern Dutchess County
town of Fishkill.
In 1978, Marist became the recipi-
ent of a $1 million Title Ill award from
the U
.
S. Department of Education
for institutional development, one of
only 28 such awards across the na-
tion
,
and the fourth such award
granted to a college in New York
State
.
With the naming of Dr. Dennis J.
Murray in 1979 to the Collge presi-
dency of Marist College, Marist en-
tered the 1980s as a vital coeduca-
tional liberal arts institution holding
fast to the timeless values of its rich
heritage while embracing advanced
technology in the service of educa-
tion.
To accommodate its rapidly grow-
ing student population, Marist built
townhouses for upperclass students,
which opened in the fall of 1982
,
and
renovated the former gymnasium to
create a new freshman residence
named Marian Hall.
In 1984
,
Marist received $2
.
5 milion
in equi'pment and almost $2 million in
software from the IBM Corporation to
expand academic and administrative
uses of computers on campus.
Gartland Commons, a garden apart-
ment complex for upperclass students
overlooking the Hudson River at the
north end of the campus, was com-
pleted in 1985.

The Lowell Thomas Communica-

1987, providing students with the
opportunity to combine the disci-

environment. The Center is named
for the legendary broadcast pioneer
and explorer who received an hon-
orary degree from Marist in 1981
.
Marist and IBM initiated a $16 mil-
lion joint study in 1988 that has placed
Marist among the most technologi-
cally advanced liberal arts colleges
in the country. The study has given

administration goals.
The opening of the Margaret M. and
Charles H. Dyson Center in 1990 pro-
vided students and faculty with addi-
tional computer and telecommunications
capabilities unmatched at most institu-
tions.
In 1994, construction was completed
on the largest and most complex build-
ing initiative in the history of Marist Col-
lege. The $27 million project created a
new Student Center with an expansive
bookstore, art gallery, a technologically
advanced "master classroom" and multi-
media room, as well as new dining facili-
ties and a Cabaret. A mid-rise residence
hall housing 382 students and new of-
fices for student affairs and Student Gov-
ernment were also included in the project,
as were a set of townhouses for 144
students.
In 1995, the campus theatre in the
Student Center was renovated th rough
the generosity of Mr. Frank Fusco.
The facility was renamed the Nelly
Galetti Theatre in memory of Mr.
Fusee's late wife, a noted entertainer
in the United States and Europe. The
campus green adjacent to the Student
Center was also completed in 1995
and presents a magnificent venue for
outdoor performances overlooking the
Husdon River.
As Marist prepares to celebrate its
50th anniversary as a four-year institu-
tion, plans are currently underway that
will lead to the development of a "Li-
brary of the Future," capping the trans-
formation of the institution from a train-
ing ground for future Marist Brothers to
an academy preparing leaders in busi-
ness, industry, professions, and com-
munity and public service.

The Marist Brothers have always
been dedicated to their work,
whether it was constructing the build-

the classrooms. They worked as a
team and never let any obstacle get
in the way. When the Brothers were
building the Our Lady Seat of Wis-
dom Chapel, they stopped traffic to
carry the beams across Route 9.
They worked together to build a
Chapel which would be very impor-
tant to the college. Not only did they

The transtion from being the class of '92 to becoming
the class of
'
96 was difficult
,
but over the years it became
our identity.
As nervous teenagers, uncertain of what the years
ahead at Marist would bring, we entered the college campus
through a main gate strewn with bulldozers and construc-
tion
.
The class of '96 unpacked their cars and said tearful
goodbyes to family and friends in the no longer existing
Champagnat parking lot.
Four years later
,
as confident young adults
,
we stood on
that same ground-- now as a beautiful campus green
.
As Marist's fiftieth graduating class, we have seen many
changes take place within the college
.
We have also
experienced a great deal of changes within ourselves
.
Marist will continue to grow
,
as will we.
Like seeds of a tree
,
we were scattered among the
campus and planted here to grow together. Through the
rain ouF friends became the sunshine
.
During the wind our
professo
rs
guided the way. Each season brought changes
in ourselves. For all of us, new leaves were turning over
virtually every day.
So we, the class of
'
96, can never forget the roots we've
developed here at Marist. We will always remember the
solid groul'.ld we were provided with here over the years.
And we will forever continue to grow.
So I say to you
,
class of 1996, may our future branch out
in ma
l'.l
y and exciting directions. And may all of our dreams
continue to reach for the sky

Message
rr'o the C[ass
of
1996
From the moment we arrived at Marist College until the moment we were
handed our diploma, we spent our time building memories and making friend-
ships that will remain with us forever. These memories and friendships are what
have made Marist our home. Everyone in our class has had a different
experience, and this diversity helped to shape us into distinct and unique
individuals.
We were introduced to a plan known as Vision
'94.
Not only did we watch
Marist transform physically, but we as individuals began the process that would
prepare us to succeed outside of Marist College. Marist helped us through this
process by giving us the knowledge and oppurtunities to reach the goals and
dreams that we have developed. During our stay at Marist, we watched the
Champagnat parking lot become the Campus Green and the River Room
become the Fitness Center. As these changes occurred, we moved from being
insecure freshmen to being confident adults ready to enter the "real world."
At the moment of graduation, everyone had mixed feelings about leaving.
Some were ready to move on to the next stage in life, while others were not sure
what lay ahead. Whether we choose a career, graduate school, or marriage, I
am sure that we wi 11 al I be successf u I after we leave here. I not only wish the Class
of
1996
success in the future on any road they choose, but I wish them happiness.
There is no greater feeling than to be content and satisfied with the path you
choose.
I have two parting statements as the Seniqr Class President. First, I wish
all of you as my friends and fellow classmates, the best of luck in all you do. Most
importantly, I ask you to cherish the memories and friendships that you have built
here at Marist and to take them with you to value forever.
Best Wishes,
Nicole A. Montipagani

The juggle between classes,

can be impossible at times, but
what two Marist students have
juggled the past tour years is
remarkable.
John and Mary Hynes met
their freshman year at Marist.
John was living in Leo Hall and
Mary in Sheanan when the two
began their innocent courtship
.
Slowly but surely what seemed
to be a college romance grew
to a more serious love affair;
they had fallen in love.
The two sweethearts decided
to tie the knot in the Marist
Chapel on August 27, 1994.
Not too long after, they were
joined by their beautiful baby
girl, Killeen.
The two students were still
getting used to taking care of
themselves, when all of a sud-
den there was someone else
to take care of. Their junior
and senior semesters were
especially difficult.
John and Mary both partici-
pated in Marist Greek life
.
Along with their fraternity and
sorority events, they had to
worry about taking the right
classess and passing them in
order to graduate on time,
Despite the odds, and with
help from friends and staff
,
they
managed just fine. On May
18th, together they graduated
with the Marist Class of 1996
.
John and Mary Hynes have
proven to be strong and inde-
pendent individuals. We con-
gratulate them and wish them
the best of luck.

In
loving Memory of ...... .
0 gentlest heart of Jesus, ever present in the blessed Sacrament, ever
consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls, have mercy on the
soul of Thy departed servants. Be not severe in Thy judgment but let
some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do
Thou, 0 Merciful saviour, send Thy Angels to conduct Thy departed ser-
vant to a place of Refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace. Amen.
Merciful Jesus, grant eternal rest.

Life is made up of many 'snapshots' that form
the basis of who we are.
Craig Murray
No matter what stage you find yourself now at Marist College,
every resident student remembers that first day as a freshman
moving into the dorms. Your car pulled up into one of the parking
lots
,
and immediatly several upperclassmen decended upon
your car to help you with your things. After getting sittuated in a
room that you were sure would never be home
,
you said goodbye
to your parents
,
and your life as an independent college student
began
.
Soon enough you found yourself saying things like
, "
I
'
ve got
to get home now
,"
referr
i
ng to your dorm room
,
and becoming
best of friends with people you never would have imagined
hanging
,
out with before.
As an
l.1
nderclassman you begin as a freshman, who can be
spotted a mile away during the first month of school. During the
next four years you grow, change, and mature into an adult.
These pages chronical those years
:
life as an Underclass-
men at Marist. Here are the parties, the study sessions
,
the good
times and the bad. Someone once told me that the most
important things you learn in college occur outside of the
classr
oo
m
.
Well
,
here are just a few of those little moments
recorded for all of posterity.

To the Class of 1997,
It is hard to believe just how fast time is moving for our
class. Our Junior year has come and gone and what is left
are the memories of a very special year. The Gartland
Barbecue in September was a good chance for us all to catch
up with each other after the long summer months. The
Junior Lip Sync Contest in November demonstrated just how
talented and original this class could be
.
Probably the most
memorable event of the year was the Junior Class Semi-
Formal that was held during the Junior Ring Weekend in
February. The night was a reminder to us all just how much
this school really meant to us.
I believe for the first time our Junior year brought
about the realization of how close our class had really
become. September brought the class of 1997 to the
crossroads in our college years. We had actually come half
way. The next two years would mark an end to our teenage
years and the dawning awareness that we were becoming
adults.
...
The face of Marist had somehow changed forth is year.
Everything, somehow, magically became new again. Many
of our classmates had moved off campus; the commuters
relocated to the new lounge in the Mid rise; and as for the rest
of us, we became scattered all over' the north end of campus.
Life at Marist had really become a new and refreshing
challenge for all of us.
But I guess in a way the more things changed, the
more they stayed the same. We had become closer to the
friends that we had grown with over the past two years while
meeting new ones that we would continue to learn and
develop with in our final years at Marist. I think when we
look back on Junior year and ask ourselves what this year
really meant, we will probably tell ourselves that it was just
a feeling we got inside, a feeling that our college careers are
moving at a rapid speed and we should enjoy them and each
other while we have the opportunity. This time is very
special; don't let these years fly by.
Looking forward to a great Senior Year,
Chris Joseph Laline
Class of 1997 President

Sophomores
Class of 1998
The class of 1 998 had two very distinc-
tive
characteristics
upon
admission:
we
were the largest class in Marist history,
with 910 students, and we had the highest SAT
scores and class
ranks Marist had ever
accepted.
We came to Marist from places
ranging from Japan, to Louisiana, to New
York City. What we all had in common: we were
all
beginning our college careers.
Freshman year was, for most of us, our first time
away from home. It was a time for us to prove to our
parents that we could succeed on our own, to prove that
we were mature and responsible. It was also a time to
make good friends, and to begin our journey to adult-
hood. We began that journey together then, and now
we find ourselves at the halfway point of our journey.
As a class, we got involved in many different
activities, but we were united
•
ip those activities in that
we all represented the class of 1998. Some of us chose
to get involved in athletics, while others chose theater
and government. No matter where we were active, the
members of the class of 1998 continue to take the
initiative in making Marist College and its student orga-
nizations respectable.
As freshmen, we faced
..-.
the many policies Marist
-
had, such as the visitation policy, which we referred to
as the "curfew". That was then, but now as sophomores
we no longer face the "curfew"; we are instead faced with
new challenges in the classroom, on the field, on the
stage, and in our organizations. Some of us dealt with
the "sophomore slump" in which we tried to do every-
thing that we did last year, and instead of success we
were greeted with failure. Some of us changed our
group of friends, while many of us expanded our groups
to meet new people. Whatever the changes we have
seen, we will need each other along the way, and we will
be successful in facing life's challenges together at
Marist and beyond .

We, the Class of 1998, be-
gan our journey here at Marist
in the fall of 1 994. Then we
were freshmen; we were be-
ginning anew
.
For some of us
I
college was a welcome
change, for others it was any-
thing but home
.
My first im-
J
..
1
pression of Marist when I
1
came here in the spring of
j
19~4 was that it was a small
college with a homogeneous
student body;
it
was a place
where I knew that I would not
be just a number. I knew that
I could make something of
myself at Marist
,
that I would
take this experience as my
only shot at a successful life.
There has not been one day
during which I have regretted
my decision to come to Mari st.
My first impression was cor-
rect, and I have enjoyed my
first two years here
.
I hope that you all have
found new challenges in your
life. The first part of this jour-
ney has been interesting and
rewarding. Now that we are
halfway through college, it is
time for us to recognize the
challenges that lie ahead of us
as individuals and as a class.

Freshmen
Class of 1999
Being away from home and in college for
the first time was a scenario that scared
the majority of us. It was harder for some
of us than for others to adjust to college
life; however, it was unbelievable how
quickly the freshmen class grew to like
one another. After participating in a vari-
ety of communication activities set up by
the hall resident assisstants during orien-
tation, Freshmen met up with various hall-
mates to introduce themselves. At first
everyone was a little uneasy, but once
they realized that they were sharing a
common experience, they loosened up
and from then on it was uphill all the wayl
Strangers became best of friends,
dormmates became your new family, and
as the year progressed, it became evident
that you were a part of a very special
community. There were times when the
work load got a little heavy and the stress
and tension were unbearable. However,
with the help of your new family, nothing
was ever too impossible to resolve. The
following pages are filled with some of the
most memorable moments shared by the
class of 1999.

responsibilities

They keep
the monitors in Donnelly's
computer lab humming

crowd the library until the
wee hours of the morning,
and try to escape from any
possible form of entertain-
ment. Needless to say, the
stress that can be accounted
for during this period of time is
overwhelming. Manystudents
are in a state of easy irritability
at this time. However, fresh-
men are able to make this a
bonding
experience.
Dormmates hold study ses-

College is more than attending classes and doing
homework. The years we spend at college give us the
opportunity to grow and develop valuable skills needed
for the future. Many aspects of campus life, such as life
in the residence halls, participation in clubs, and simply
socializing with friends, are integral parts of the full
college experience.
Marist College, under the direction of the Office of
College Activities, which oversees student-run organiza-
tions, encourages students to participate as much as
possible. Due to the extreme amounts of energy and
dedication
,
in the students to provide activities, this year
has been very successful. This year has been filled
with many events to keep the student body active.
The times we have shared with our friends while we
were here at Marist will forever remain a part of our
lives. The activities we participated in have contributed
to our development in the years we have spent in

'' Activities''
The students at Marist College get involved
in numerous activities throughout the year. They
keep themselves busy by either challenging them-
selves,
having fun, showing their talents, making
a difference, or planning an event. These are just
some of the diverse activities that interested the
students. Because everyone is an individual, one
can find an array of interests on the campus that
range from things like doing community service
to joining a cultural club to meet and converse
with
friends.
Some of the activities that the students got
to participate in this year were: Career day, the
Giving
Tree project, plays, games, talent shows,
blood drives, coffee houses,
·
concerts, and movie
nights.
It was thanks
.
to the help of the College
Activities Office that most of these events were
possible. The staff worked hard to keep the stu-
dents at Marist entei:tained.
Most of the activities were opened to the
public, and it wasn't strange to see individuals
from the community walking around, visiting
the
college
grounds after attending a play or
conference.
To them it was interesting to see how
the students
lived and what student life was all
about.
Students were not prone to getting bored if
their budget did not allow them to wander off of
the
campus
grounds. There was always some-
thing on the premises going on ...

Student Life
" #1. Making Friends"
At Marist, one of the most popular activities is hanging out with one's buddies.
tudents make new friends when they come to college their first year, and most of the time,
hey keep them throughout the years. Relationships get closer as stories, experiences, and
aughs are shared. It is the coming together of the different worlds of the students that
ensures a good story is to be shared every time, even when it has been told a thousand times
before. Good times are always close at hand whenever one decides to take some time off
from one's work to socialize with hallmates. Getting to class becomes a task as students
,
stop to chat with friends along the way. Most students would agree that meeting new
people and making friends are two things that definitely manage to find a spot on their top
ten list of "Things To Do At Marist."

Student Life
'' Stress
Reiieval ''
One of the things that students cannot escape is stress.
It hits from all sides: work, classes, and
friends. Students are expected to get their priorities straight, so that they can get the job done. Yet
,
managing one's time throughout college is a difficult task for many because one has the tendency to
do more than is humanly feasible. As the stress builds, different remedies are used to relieve it. Some
of the techniques most commonly used are sleeping it off, reading, hanging out with friends while
catching some rays, and going out on the town. All of these seem to work, because rare are the ones
who can find a stressed student on campus. Oh, exam-time is not included.

There was a great movement this year to make students more aware. Aware about
what? About two things that greatly affect their daily lives: alcohol and AIDS. We can
compare the picture of the car smashed because of drunk driving on the upper left to the
one of the bash-a-car-for-SO-cents .
It is clear that attitudes have changed throughout the
years. Marist College has moved towards a more serious and direct approach to dealing
with the problems of today. Because everyone is aware that education is the best key for
avoiding both these topics, bulletin boards were filled with information, tables were set up
for question answering, and pamphlets were handed out to passing students as sororities and
clubs played their part by participating and organizing events during Alcohol Awareness
week and AIDS Awareness day. Information was available everywhere, and hopefully, all
questions were answered...

The Marist ideal of excellence in education
implies the cultivation of a free and enlight-
ened mind through the discipline of scholarly
study and dialogue.
The Marist College Mission Statement
~
The faculty-student relationships among the Marist Commu-
nity are ones that surpass most other institutions. Being at a
rather small college
,
Marist faculty and students have a wonder
-
ful opportunity to get to know one another on a personal level.
Aside from office hours
,
professors make themselves very
accessible to their students through e-mail and sometimes home
phone numbers. When a student takes the initiative to get
acquainted with his or her professor
,
a special bond is created
that will last not just for the four years that each student is here
,
but well into the future.
We, the students, turn to the faculty and staff for guidance
and instruction on which paths to take toward our future. They
succe
e
d in making each Marist student feel important and
special-- as if their time is endless when helping students figure
out his or her course schedule or another problem they may face.
Through it all these people are our parents away f
r
om home-- an
obligation they don
'
t take lightly.
The faculty give the students the respect that young adults
need
,
the space for maturing
,
and the room to make a few minor
mistakes that they will learn from
.
As educators they realize that
new students are on their own for the first time. The faculty at
Marist are pa
tr
ent and willing to suggest a helpful hint. They do
not criticize or pass judgements
,
but rather listen and advise
.
The faculty at Marist understand that we are still experimenting
and need to make slight errors in decision-making every once in
a while, but are stern when this experimenting is taken too far.
This creates a harmony of fun and responsibility, two key things
that a maturing adult learns through college experiences
.

We had a great year. I am proud of playing for

Standing in

Athletics ... what does the word mean to you? Well
to different people, it means different things. To the
student-athletes it means, among other things, gruel-
ing practice schedules, intrusions on their social life,
early morning classes, and missed vacations. They
are at the very center of Red Fox athletics.
Then there are the coaches, trainers, aides, stu-
dent-managers, and tutors. These are the people
who work just as hard as the athletes, put up with the
same restrictions on their life-style, and who never-
thelff
s
s get half the credit. Their dedication to the
athletes eases the pressure and makes each game
run smoothly.
Of course we cannot forget the supporters of the
Red Fox athletic teams, which includes everyone on
campus: faculty, staff, and students. Without their
ch
~
e
ering and support, the athletes would not have the
motivation and excitement to play to their full poten-
,
tial.
Everyone on campus makes a contribution to
athletics, whether as an athlete, band member, coach,
manager, or fan. The school spirit demonstrated by
everyone involved is the heart of the athletics at
Marist. So, the next time you are at a Red Fox game,
whatever your role is, remember that your contribu-
tion is important to our community.

A LOOK AT THE SEASON ...
Marty Sinacola
The men's lacrosse team got off to a
strong start, but unfortunately could not sus-
tain it, losing six games to end the season at
7-8. Leed by juniors Greg Schneider and Dave
Kiddney, the Red Foxes played brilliantly for
much of the campaign. Senior goaltender
Craig Grevelding, who anchored a solid
defense, finished among the top goaltenders
in the country in save percentage. This
young program laid some good foundations
during this campaign, on which they should
be able to build.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
A LOOK AT THE SEASON ...
Marc R. Lestinsky
The 1995-96 season for the Marist
women began with high spirits and lofty expec-
tations -- but ended with a sub:-par 14-17
overall record (8-10 NEC) and a disappointed
quintet of seniors. On the positive side of
things, junior center Stacey Dengler and
sophomore guard Jean-Marie Lesko both
battled back from injury-riddled 1994-95 cam-
paigns and played exceptionally well. Dengler
averaged a double-double for the season (15.5
ppg., 10.3 rpg.) on her way to earning All-NEC
first team honors, while Lesko finished second
·
on the team in scoring with 14.0 per game. As
for the departing core of seniors, Darrah Metz,
Tara Walsh, Melissa Hauser, and Jill Heller,
they should all leave Marist with their heads
held high as they provided the school with
timeless memories and endless hustle.
Developing winning strategies gives
the Women
'
s Basketball team the
motivation they need to beat their
opponents.
The Marist Red Fox women have
proven through the years that they
can meet any challenge they face.

A LOOK AT THE SEASON
...
The men's basketball team finished the
season by breaking numerous records. With an
overall record of 22-7
,
the Red Foxes secured the
best record in one season, most overall victories in
one season
,
and most regular season victories in
one season. The men excited the Northeast
Conference tournamer:it
in
the second round,
losing to Monmouth University
.
The Red Foxes
did, however
,
travel to the University of Rhode
Island to participate in the National Invitational
Tournament where they were defeated in the first
round. The team was led by seniors Alan Tomidy,
Danny Basile, and Kareem Hill. Tomidy broke Rik
Smits' record for blocks in a single game with 11
and Steve Smith's record for rebounds in a single
game with 22 on February 8, 1996 against Long
Island University at the Mccann center. Hill has
been playing in Europe for a French professional
team. Dave Magarity, in his tenth season as head
coach of the Red Foxes, recorded his 200th win of
his coaching career on January 17, 1996 against
FDU.

always

A LOOK AT
THE
SEASON ...
Marty Sinacola
A 6-4 campaign may not look all that
impressive, but consider that the Red Foxes
lost three games by a total of five points.
Marist followed up their
MAAC
championship
I
season with a never-say-die attitude that
brought them much s1.:1ccess. Seniors Jeff
Saccomanno, Roger Hancock, Pete Ford, and
Kevin To, among numerous others, lead the
way for the Red Foxes. The senior class
graduated with the honor of being the most
winning senior class in Marist history, with a
record of 22-17-1.
The Football team watches anxiously
from the sidelines as their teammates
make a play that ties the game
.
Although these players are not on the
field
,
their minds are tuned into the
game

College life
is
more than academics; it includes friend-
ships,
fun,
and
experience as well. The friends
we
make and the experiences we have all come
from
the
activities we participate in
.
Marist offers many
clubs
and
organizations for students to participate in; from Band,
to MCTV, to the Psychology Club. There
is
quite a
variety
of
organizations
to meet the
needs and interests
of the student body. Whether a student enjoys perform-
ing, producing, or helping the community, they can find
a group which gives them the opportunites to be active
and make a difference.
Each year the student
body provides many activities
which are very successful. MCCTA produces many
theatre performances which entertain and
impress
the
audience; the Circle staff informs the Mar'lst community
of the news and events which effect the College; the
Social Work Association and Greek Organizations
provide many community service activities which make
a difference where help is needed; and the Student
Programming Council organizes lectures, concerts,
comedians, and dances to enhance the campus
social
life.
Although college students concentrate much of their
time on their academics, many of them are also
in-
volved in activities, clubs, and campus organizations in
order to meet people and keep them busy
.
The
charac-
teristics students gain, such as leadership, come from
their involvement in campus life.

The Student Government Association serves as the governing body of all student
organizations and is the representative voice of students in faculty and administrative
affairs. S.G.A. is dedicated to the fulfillment of student needs and expectations
:
as well
as enhancing the personal and professional growth of Marist students. In order
to
achieve these ends, the members of S.G.A. must be confident, outgoing, open-minded,
sensitive, and pursuers of their own good. With these standards, we lay the founda-
tion of an organization dedicated to improving life at Marist both now and in the
future.
•
~
The Student Government Association came into this year troubled by the specter of
old problems and the evolution of new ones. During our summer meeting,
'
fresh after
the raising of the Greek club cap shrugged that burden off our shoulders, a simple
phrase became not only a theme, but a mission. The 1995-1996 Student Government
administration was to be the "Year of the Response"; the year S.G.A. worked for the
students; the year of emphasized communication; the year of more efficient govern-
ment.
And what came of that year was a successful Student Government that set high goals
and reached even higher to atfain them. With the dedication, hard work, and commit-
ment to the students of Marist College by each and every member of S.G.A., we were
finally able to get closure of the Greek clqb cap, Freshman Visitation Policy, and
weekend guest passes which, in turn, allowed us to refocus on other important areas of
student life. Our ability to do that was one of the largest contributing factors to our
success.
However, future administrations face many challenges that lie ahead. To say that
all the problems are solved and all the issues dead would be naive, and that we have
made all the necessary changes in one year impractical. So it is the duty of S.G.A. to
continue what was started this year-- serve and communicate with the students in the
best, most efficient way possible; fairly and aggressively represent the interests of the
student body in dealings with the faculty and administration; make S.G.A. a more
efficient organization; and make each and every year the "Year of Response".
Best Wishes in all your Endeavors,

DAVE MATHEWS ON THE MARCH. The Dave Matthews Band may have come
out of nowhere
,
but the band is here to stay
.
More than 150,000 copies of
"Remember
Two Things," were sold. But the group's second album,
"Under
the
Table and Dreaming," is a major label success. It rocketed up the charts without
a
hit single or video hype

END OF AFFIRMITIVE ACTION? It was nearly three decades ago, after a series
of race riots in Los Angeles
,
Newark and Detroit
,
that a commitment began to use
race-based programs to improve the lives of blacks
.
It was called affirmative
action. But in '95- '96 affirmative action plans began to get weaker
.
The Supreme
Court issued decisions making it harder to justify giving minorities and women
preferences in the awarding of federal contracts; and the Clinton Administration
was re-evaluating federal affirmative action programs
.

Although as Seniors we must go on into the world
,
our
memories will never leave us nor these pages. As we look
back at our years here at Marist, we should remember all
those people who touched our lives and the special moments
which helped us grow and learn.
We would like to offer thanks to those people who have
been by our s
i
de along the way. To our parents and grand-
parents who have taught us how to live and have supported
us through the hard times
.
To all of our friends, who have
made the good times memorable and the bad times bearable.
And to our teachers and mentors
,
who have shown us that we
have it within ourselves to discover knowledge an
d
put it to
good use
.
Without their faith we could not be where we are
today. So we thank all of our loving family and friends for
eve
l¼
thing they have ever taught us, because they have
helped make us better people.
We would also like to thank all of the people who have
helped sponsor this book
.
With their generous donations
,
the
staff has been able to create a yearbook which we can
treasure all of our lives
.
Although we have seen some hard times as we made our
j
ourney the past four years, we can now look back and say
that we succeeded. Now we are ready to move on to the next
stage in our lives
.
Although we are going our separate ways,
we will always have the fond memories and the friends we
have made at Marist.
We would like to wish the students who are following in our
footsteps the best of luck
.
We hope that you all achieve your
highest dreams
.
These are truley the best years of our lives
.
Enjoy each day and be thankful for the important people in
your lives. Most of all, be wise and absorb as much knowl-
edge as you can, because it will benefit you throughout your
lives.

As we go through time
,
we not only learn things about life
we also begin to build our own lives. We have taken the
foundation our parents have given us
,
and, brick by brick,
WE
have built our lives to our own design. Marist has become a
important part of our lives and has provided us with many
bricks from
·
·
our college community. The f~iends and f~mily
we have developed while at Marist form yet another layer to
I
be added to our lives. Just as we will contirn,ie to build on
OL
existing foundation
,
Marist College itself will continue to grov
The future holds many new developments for the Marist
community.

The new Mccann Center, a new library
,
and eventually
more improvements are in store. Although the foundation th
Marist Brothers set many years ago has grown, the core
values remain within the communitiy. Dedication and deter-
111ination
continue to echo through the campus where bare
hands
laid
every brick and stone just over fifty years ago.
Donnelly Hall and the Chapel are just some of the prod-
ucts that came from the Marist Brothers. Through the years
they have also produced many young people who have sine,
set out
lnto
the world to share
their
knowledge and experi-
ence. The students who leave Marist are going to make an
impression on the world
,
and one that no one can ever forge

of the James J. Mccann Recreation Center.
Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel, the Library

the Greystone Building, and the Rotunda are
all a part of the Marist history. Students
,
faculty, and administration use these buildings
frequently, but rarely take a moment to
realize
how beautiful the campus really is.
The Mccann ground-breaking ceremony in the
spring meant new improvements to our
campus and more history added to Marist.

I,
I'll never forget how I felt in
September when I was elected
Editor in Chief of the
Reynard.
I
was overwhelmed with feelings of
excitement, apprehension, and
determination.
I
knew that this
year, being Marist's 50th anniver-
sary as a four year college would
pose a special challenge-- to cre-
ate a yearbook representative of
both the past and the present. I
suspect that my emotions were
similar to those of the Mari st Broth-
ers when they first began the Marist house of studies, and later in 1946
,
laid the foundation for the institution that we know today. When they
accepted their challenges, could they have fully perceived the success
that would be achieved? Could they have envisioned the number of
futures that would be influenced as a result of their determination and
commitment?
In honor of this special year, the
Reynard
staff has committed itself
to creating a book that would reflect not only Marist today, but incorporate
the importance of its past. For this reason, we have chosen
l
mpressions
as our theme. Everyone and everything has had an influence on our
lives. Just as my past has made an impression on me, Marist's past has
made an impression on our community. We should all take time to
remember those important people who have made an impression on our
lives-- like the Marist Brothers. I know also that I could not have made
it where
,
I am today without the support of my parents and friends.
Because of them, the past two years at Marist have been some of the
best of my life.
We the staff of the 1996
Reynard
hope that in years to come
these
pages will help us all to relive the years when we called Marist "home,"
and at the same time demonstrate the importance of the past in building
this home. I believe that through the hard work and dedication of the
Reynard staff, we have met our goal to provide a record of Marist, past
and present. As Marist moves toward its next 50 years, we will all have
played a role in helping to fulfill the dreams of our founders and in building
the future for new generations.
Best Wishes and Good Luck,
~

In 1996, Marist College will celebrate 50 years of
being chartered by the State of New York to grant
bachelor's degrees. What started as a seminary for the
training of future Marist Brothers has developed into one
of the leading colleges of the arts and sciences in the
Northeast. Marist College is now home to approximately
3,200 undergraduate men and women and nearly 600
graduate students. The first graduation class in 1947
consisted of four Marist Brothers. Today, more than
14,000 alumni call Marist their alma mater. Marist has a
proud tradition that laid the foundation for a state-of-the-
art campus for students preparing to enter the work force
of the 21st century.
We all have our impressions about the world
around us, however, when we all first stepped onto this
J
campus, we had an impression put upon us about
Marist. For some, this campus was the beginning of a
new life and home; a life full of lasting friendships, quality
education, and many career-starting opportunities. We
can all look back at the day we first formed our impres-
sions and see how much has actually changed. For
most, Marist still offers many of the same impressions as
it did in the beginning, but now they have become end-
less. The opportunities Marist has to offer is just the key
•
to the door of success; each of us has the map. There-
fore, we have all contributed something to Marist; we
have all made an impression on Marist as well. The stu-
dents which graduate from this college leave with a
wealthy background and will make an impression on the
world.

Marist College follows in the tradition
of great institutions like Harvard Uni-
versity and the College of William and
Mary, which were founded as semi-
naries and developed into indepen-
dent academics of higher learning.
Marist can trace its roots to 1905
when the Marist Brothers purchased
property, St. Ann's Hermitage. In 1908,
the Edward Bech estate was pur-
chased by the Brothers to enable the
Hermitage to expand. It is on these
properties that Marist College stands
today.
In 1929, college-level courses were
first offered. In 1946, the official, four-
year charter was granted by the State
of New York under the leadership of
founding president Brother Paul
Ambrose Fontaine, FMS. The Broth-
ers set out to construct several build-

ings
on what was then called Marian
College; a gymnasium (now Marian
Hall) in 1947; Our Lady Seat of Wis-
dom Chapel in 1953; the Brothers'
residence (now the Library) in 1954;
Adrian Hall in 1957.
Dr. Linus Richard Foy became presi-
dent in 1958 and became, at age 28,
the youngest college president in the
United States.
Marian College be-
came Marist College in 1960. In that
same year, the mission of the College
was broadened to include the wider
community; lay male students were
admitted to pursue undergraduate
studies. An evening division was also
introduced to serve the educational
needs of the surrounding communi-
ties.
Sheahan Hall opened as the first
campus residence hall in 1962, fol-
lowed by Leo Hall in 1963 and
Champagnat Hall, named for the
founder of the Marist Brothers, in 1965.
Leonidoff Field, the first major athletic
field, was dedicated in 1968.
Donnelly Hall was built by the Broth-
ers in 1962, and named for Brother
Nilus Donnelly who supervised con-
struction of the 12 major facilities by
the Marist Brothers on the campus.
Donnelly Hall was renovated between
1989-91 to house a science center,
the computer center, fine arts, class-
rooms, lecture halls, and administra-
tive offices. This landmark building,
whose constructio'n enabled Marist
College to open its doors to the com-
munity, remains to this day a living
tribute to those dedicated men who
were the founders and builders of
Marist College.

was transferred in 1969 to the Marist
College Educational Corporation
with an independent board of trust-
ees
.
Nonetheless
,
,
the legacy of the
Marist Brothers of serving and striv-
ing for excellence continued to in-
spire and enrich the academic life
of the College
.
Under President Foy
'
s continuing
leadership in the 1970
'
s
,
programs
for the educationally disadvantaged
were expanded
,
a computer center
was added, graduate programs in
business administration and com-
munity psychology were instituted
,
and the James J. McCann Recre-
ation Center was completed.
In 1973, the College began a coop
-
erative program with area second-
ary schools
,
in which selected high
school seniors take freshman
courses through Marist and "bridge
"
into college
.
In Fall 1974
,
the Col-
lege expanded its commitment to
continuing education by increasing
course offerings in the evening divi-
sion and summer session and, in
1984, opened an off-campus center
in the southern Dutchess County
town of Fishkill.
In 1978, Marist became the recipi-
ent of a $1 million Title Ill award from
the U
.
S. Department of Education
for institutional development, one of
only 28 such awards across the na-
tion
,
and the fourth such award
granted to a college in New York
State
.
With the naming of Dr. Dennis J.
Murray in 1979 to the Collge presi-
dency of Marist College, Marist en-
tered the 1980s as a vital coeduca-
tional liberal arts institution holding
fast to the timeless values of its rich
heritage while embracing advanced
technology in the service of educa-
tion.
To accommodate its rapidly grow-
ing student population, Marist built
townhouses for upperclass students,
which opened in the fall of 1982
,
and
renovated the former gymnasium to
create a new freshman residence
named Marian Hall.
In 1984
,
Marist received $2
.
5 milion
in equi'pment and almost $2 million in
software from the IBM Corporation to
expand academic and administrative
uses of computers on campus.
Gartland Commons, a garden apart-
ment complex for upperclass students
overlooking the Hudson River at the
north end of the campus, was com-
pleted in 1985.

The Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center opened in the Spring of
1987, providing students with the
opportunity to combine the disci-
plines of communications and com-
puter science in a state-of-the-art
environment. The Center is named
for the legendary broadcast pioneer
and explorer who received an hon-
orary degree from Marist in 1981
.
Marist and IBM initiated a $16 mil-
lion joint study in 1988 that has placed
Marist among the most technologi-
cally advanced liberal arts colleges
in the country. The study has given
IBM
an opportunity to test concepts
and applications that the company
believes will be of value in the 21st
century in education, business, and
other fields.
The joint study has
given Marist the opportunity to put

munications technology to work in

support of instructional, research, and
administration goals.
The opening of the Margaret M. and
Charles H. Dyson Center in 1990 pro-
vided students and faculty with addi-
tional computer and telecommunications
capabilities unmatched at most institu-
tions.
In 1994, construction was completed
on the largest and most complex build-
ing initiative in the history of Marist Col-
lege. The $27 million project created a
new Student Center with an expansive
bookstore, art gallery, a technologically
advanced "master classroom" and multi-
media room, as well as new dining facili-
ties and a Cabaret. A mid-rise residence
hall housing 382 students and new of-
fices for student affairs and Student Gov-
ernment were also included in the project,
as were a set of townhouses for 144
students.
In 1995, the campus theatre in the
Student Center was renovated th rough
the generosity of Mr. Frank Fusco.
The facility was renamed the Nelly
Galetti Theatre in memory of Mr.
Fusee's late wife, a noted entertainer
in the United States and Europe. The
campus green adjacent to the Student
Center was also completed in 1995
and presents a magnificent venue for
outdoor performances overlooking the
Husdon River.
As Marist prepares to celebrate its
50th anniversary as a four-year institu-
tion, plans are currently underway that
will lead to the development of a "Li-
brary of the Future," capping the trans-
formation of the institution from a train-
ing ground for future Marist Brothers to
an academy preparing leaders in busi-
ness, industry, professions, and com-
munity and public service.

The Marist Brothers have always
been dedicated to their work,
whether it was constructing the build-

the classrooms. They worked as a
team and never let any obstacle get
in the way. When the Brothers were
building the Our Lady Seat of Wis-
dom Chapel, they stopped traffic to
carry the beams across Route 9.
They worked together to build a
Chapel which would be very impor-
tant to the college. Not only did they

The transtion from being the class of '92 to becoming
the class of
'
96 was difficult
,
but over the years it became
our identity.
As nervous teenagers, uncertain of what the years
ahead at Marist would bring, we entered the college campus
through a main gate strewn with bulldozers and construc-
tion
.
The class of '96 unpacked their cars and said tearful
goodbyes to family and friends in the no longer existing
Champagnat parking lot.
Four years later
,
as confident young adults
,
we stood on
that same ground-- now as a beautiful campus green
.
As Marist's fiftieth graduating class, we have seen many
changes take place within the college
.
We have also
experienced a great deal of changes within ourselves
.
Marist will continue to grow
,
as will we.
Like seeds of a tree
,
we were scattered among the
campus and planted here to grow together. Through the
rain ouF friends became the sunshine
.
During the wind our
professo
rs
guided the way. Each season brought changes
in ourselves. For all of us, new leaves were turning over
virtually every day.
So we, the class of
'
96, can never forget the roots we've
developed here at Marist. We will always remember the
solid groul'.ld we were provided with here over the years.
And we will forever continue to grow.
So I say to you
,
class of 1996, may our future branch out
in ma
l'.l
y and exciting directions. And may all of our dreams
continue to reach for the sky

Message
rr'o the C[ass
of
1996
From the moment we arrived at Marist College until the moment we were
handed our diploma, we spent our time building memories and making friend-
ships that will remain with us forever. These memories and friendships are what
have made Marist our home. Everyone in our class has had a different
experience, and this diversity helped to shape us into distinct and unique
individuals.
We were introduced to a plan known as Vision
'94.
Not only did we watch
Marist transform physically, but we as individuals began the process that would
prepare us to succeed outside of Marist College. Marist helped us through this
process by giving us the knowledge and oppurtunities to reach the goals and
dreams that we have developed. During our stay at Marist, we watched the
Champagnat parking lot become the Campus Green and the River Room
become the Fitness Center. As these changes occurred, we moved from being
insecure freshmen to being confident adults ready to enter the "real world."
At the moment of graduation, everyone had mixed feelings about leaving.
Some were ready to move on to the next stage in life, while others were not sure
what lay ahead. Whether we choose a career, graduate school, or marriage, I
am sure that we wi 11 al I be successf u I after we leave here. I not only wish the Class
of
1996
success in the future on any road they choose, but I wish them happiness.
There is no greater feeling than to be content and satisfied with the path you
choose.
I have two parting statements as the Seniqr Class President. First, I wish
all of you as my friends and fellow classmates, the best of luck in all you do. Most
importantly, I ask you to cherish the memories and friendships that you have built
here at Marist and to take them with you to value forever.
Best Wishes,
Nicole A. Montipagani

The juggle between classes,
a part-time job
,
and a social life
can be impossible at times, but
what two Marist students have
juggled the past tour years is
remarkable.
John and Mary Hynes met
their freshman year at Marist.
John was living in Leo Hall and
Mary in Sheanan when the two
began their innocent courtship
.
Slowly but surely what seemed
to be a college romance grew
to a more serious love affair;
they had fallen in love.
The two sweethearts decided
to tie the knot in the Marist
Chapel on August 27, 1994.
Not too long after, they were
joined by their beautiful baby
girl, Killeen.
The two students were still
getting used to taking care of
themselves, when all of a sud-
den there was someone else
to take care of. Their junior
and senior semesters were
especially difficult.
John and Mary both partici-
pated in Marist Greek life
.
Along with their fraternity and
sorority events, they had to
worry about taking the right
classess and passing them in
order to graduate on time,
Despite the odds, and with
help from friends and staff
,
they
managed just fine. On May
18th, together they graduated
with the Marist Class of 1996
.
John and Mary Hynes have
proven to be strong and inde-
pendent individuals. We con-
gratulate them and wish them
the best of luck.

THESE BEAUTIES KNOW HOW TO CELEBRATE. After four years of hard work, sharing with friends
,
starting an
ending romances, they have grown a lot. Now the time has come to say good-bye and all together they will join
again in another celebration. This time they are celebrating their graduation. Good luck to them, and to the entire
Marist graduating class of 1996.
A Farewell to the Seniors
I would like to off er my congratulations and best wishes on your
graduation from Marist College. Your commencement marks the 50th
anniversary
of the founding of Mari st as a four-year college. As members of
this special class, you have witnessed significant growth at Marist-- growth
· n our campus facilities 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 challenges as well as to 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 organizations
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 wy say goodbye to you as undergraduates, we welcome you back to
Mari
st as alumni of t~e College. I look forward
to
seeing you at Homecoming
eekend and other alumni events, and encourage you to continue your
·
volvement with Marist. As alumni, you are now stakeholders in this
· stitution, and your participation in the life of our College will be vital to our
ontinued growth and development.
Again, congratulations on all your accomplishments and best of luck in
your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
~/~

Life is made up of many 'snapshots' that form
the basis of who we are.
Craig Murray
No matter what stage you find yourself now at Marist College,
every resident student remembers that first day as a freshman
moving into the dorms. Your car pulled up into one of the parking
lots
,
and immediatly several upperclassmen decended upon
your car to help you with your things. After getting sittuated in a
room that you were sure would never be home
,
you said goodbye
to your parents
,
and your life as an independent college student
began
.
Soon enough you found yourself saying things like
, "
I
'
ve got
to get home now
,"
referr
i
ng to your dorm room
,
and becoming
best of friends with people you never would have imagined
hanging
,
out with before.
As an
l.1
nderclassman you begin as a freshman, who can be
spotted a mile away during the first month of school. During the
next four years you grow, change, and mature into an adult.
These pages chronical those years
:
life as an Underclass-
men at Marist. Here are the parties, the study sessions
,
the good
times and the bad. Someone once told me that the most
important things you learn in college occur outside of the
classr
oo
m
.
Well
,
here are just a few of those little moments
recorded for all of posterity.

To the Class of 1997,
It is hard to believe just how fast time is moving for our
class. Our Junior year has come and gone and what is left
are the memories of a very special year. The Gartland
Barbecue in September was a good chance for us all to catch
up with each other after the long summer months. The
Junior Lip Sync Contest in November demonstrated just how
talented and original this class could be
.
Probably the most
memorable event of the year was the Junior Class Semi-
Formal that was held during the Junior Ring Weekend in
February. The night was a reminder to us all just how much
this school really meant to us.
I believe for the first time our Junior year brought
about the realization of how close our class had really
become. September brought the class of 1997 to the
crossroads in our college years. We had actually come half
way. The next two years would mark an end to our teenage
years and the dawning awareness that we were becoming
adults.
...
The face of Marist had somehow changed forth is year.
Everything, somehow, magically became new again. Many
of our classmates had moved off campus; the commuters
relocated to the new lounge in the Mid rise; and as for the rest
of us, we became scattered all over' the north end of campus.
Life at Marist had really become a new and refreshing
challenge for all of us.
But I guess in a way the more things changed, the
more they stayed the same. We had become closer to the
friends that we had grown with over the past two years while
meeting new ones that we would continue to learn and
develop with in our final years at Marist. I think when we
look back on Junior year and ask ourselves what this year
really meant, we will probably tell ourselves that it was just
a feeling we got inside, a feeling that our college careers are
moving at a rapid speed and we should enjoy them and each
other while we have the opportunity. This time is very
special; don't let these years fly by.
Looking forward to a great Senior Year,
Chris Joseph Laline
Class of 1997 President

Sophomores
Class of 1998
The class of 1 998 had two very distinc-
tive
characteristics
upon
admission:
we
were the largest class in Marist history,
with 910 students, and we had the highest SAT
scores and class
ranks Marist had ever
accepted.
We came to Marist from places
ranging from Japan, to Louisiana, to New
York City. What we all had in common: we were
all
beginning our college careers.
Freshman year was, for most of us, our first time
away from home. It was a time for us to prove to our
parents that we could succeed on our own, to prove that
we were mature and responsible. It was also a time to
make good friends, and to begin our journey to adult-
hood. We began that journey together then, and now
we find ourselves at the halfway point of our journey.
As a class, we got involved in many different
activities, but we were united
•
ip those activities in that
we all represented the class of 1998. Some of us chose
to get involved in athletics, while others chose theater
and government. No matter where we were active, the
members of the class of 1998 continue to take the
initiative in making Marist College and its student orga-
nizations respectable.
As freshmen, we faced
..-.
the many policies Marist
-
had, such as the visitation policy, which we referred to
as the "curfew". That was then, but now as sophomores
we no longer face the "curfew"; we are instead faced with
new challenges in the classroom, on the field, on the
stage, and in our organizations. Some of us dealt with
the "sophomore slump" in which we tried to do every-
thing that we did last year, and instead of success we
were greeted with failure. Some of us changed our
group of friends, while many of us expanded our groups
to meet new people. Whatever the changes we have
seen, we will need each other along the way, and we will
be successful in facing life's challenges together at
Marist and beyond .

We, the Class of 1998, be-

in the fall of 1 994. Then we
were freshmen; we were be-
ginning anew

For some of us
I
college was a welcome
change, for others it was any-
thing but home
.
My first im-
J
..
1
pression of Marist when I
1
came here in the spring of
j
19~4 was that it was a small
college with a homogeneous
student body;
it
was a place
where I knew that I would not
be just a number. I knew that
I could make something of
myself at Marist
,
that I would
take this experience as my
only shot at a successful life.
There has not been one day
during which I have regretted
my decision to come to Mari st.
My first impression was cor-
rect, and I have enjoyed my
first two years here
.
I hope that you all have
found new challenges in your
life. The first part of this jour-
ney has been interesting and
rewarding. Now that we are
halfway through college, it is
time for us to recognize the
challenges that lie ahead of us
as individuals and as a class.

Freshmen
Class of 1999
Being away from home and in college for
the first time was a scenario that scared
the majority of us. It was harder for some
of us than for others to adjust to college
life; however, it was unbelievable how
quickly the freshmen class grew to like
one another. After participating in a vari-
ety of communication activities set up by
the hall resident assisstants during orien-
tation, Freshmen met up with various hall-
mates to introduce themselves. At first
everyone was a little uneasy, but once
they realized that they were sharing a
common experience, they loosened up
and from then on it was uphill all the wayl
Strangers became best of friends,
dormmates became your new family, and
as the year progressed, it became evident
that you were a part of a very special
community. There were times when the
work load got a little heavy and the stress
and tension were unbearable. However,
with the help of your new family, nothing
was ever too impossible to resolve. The
following pages are filled with some of the
most memorable moments shared by the
class of 1999.

The end of the year is approach-
ing at an alarming rate, and as
a part of the average student
body, Freshmen participate
in the annual ritual filled with
responsibilities
.
They keep
the monitors in Donnelly's
computer lab humming
,
crowd the library until the
wee hours of the morning,
and try to escape from any
possible form of entertain-
ment. Needless to say, the
stress that can be accounted
for during this period of time is
overwhelming. Manystudents
are in a state of easy irritability
at this time. However, fresh-
men are able to make this a
bonding
experience.
Dormmates hold study ses-
sions together, strangers at the
library who are aware that
they are in the same boat at-
tempt to be amiable, and those
crammed into the computer

My friends and I have shared a year full of

College is more than attending classes and doing
homework. The years we spend at college give us the
opportunity to grow and develop valuable skills needed
for the future. Many aspects of campus life, such as life
in the residence halls, participation in clubs, and simply
socializing with friends, are integral parts of the full
college experience.
Marist College, under the direction of the Office of
College Activities, which oversees student-run organiza-
tions, encourages students to participate as much as
possible. Due to the extreme amounts of energy and
dedication
,
in the students to provide activities, this year
has been very successful. This year has been filled
with many events to keep the student body active.
The times we have shared with our friends while we
were here at Marist will forever remain a part of our
lives. The activities we participated in have contributed
to our development in the years we have spent in

'' Activities''
The students at Marist College get involved
in numerous activities throughout the year. They
keep themselves busy by either challenging them-
selves,
having fun, showing their talents, making
a difference, or planning an event. These are just
some of the diverse activities that interested the
students. Because everyone is an individual, one
can find an array of interests on the campus that
range from things like doing community service
to joining a cultural club to meet and converse
with
friends.
Some of the activities that the students got
to participate in this year were: Career day, the
Giving
Tree project, plays, games, talent shows,
blood drives, coffee houses,
·
concerts, and movie
nights.
It was thanks
.
to the help of the College
Activities Office that most of these events were
possible. The staff worked hard to keep the stu-
dents at Marist entei:tained.
Most of the activities were opened to the
public, and it wasn't strange to see individuals
from the community walking around, visiting
the
college
grounds after attending a play or
conference.
To them it was interesting to see how
the students
lived and what student life was all
about.
Students were not prone to getting bored if
their budget did not allow them to wander off of
the
campus
grounds. There was always some-
thing on the premises going on ...

" #1. Making Friends"
At Marist, one of the most popular activities is hanging out with one's buddies.
tudents make new friends when they come to college their first year, and most of the time,
hey keep them throughout the years. Relationships get closer as stories, experiences, and
aughs are shared. It is the coming together of the different worlds of the students that
ensures a good story is to be shared every time, even when it has been told a thousand times
before. Good times are always close at hand whenever one decides to take some time off
from one's work to socialize with hallmates. Getting to class becomes a task as students
,
stop to chat with friends along the way. Most students would agree that meeting new
people and making friends are two things that definitely manage to find a spot on their top
ten list of "Things To Do At Marist."

Student Life
'' Stress
Reiieval ''
One of the things that students cannot escape is stress.
It hits from all sides: work, classes, and
friends. Students are expected to get their priorities straight, so that they can get the job done. Yet
,
managing one's time throughout college is a difficult task for many because one has the tendency to
do more than is humanly feasible. As the stress builds, different remedies are used to relieve it. Some
of the techniques most commonly used are sleeping it off, reading, hanging out with friends while
catching some rays, and going out on the town. All of these seem to work, because rare are the ones
who can find a stressed student on campus. Oh, exam-time is not included.

There was a great movement this year to make students more aware. Aware about
what? About two things that greatly affect their daily lives: alcohol and AIDS. We can
compare the picture of the car smashed because of drunk driving on the upper left to the
one of the bash-a-car-for-SO-cents .
It is clear that attitudes have changed throughout the
years. Marist College has moved towards a more serious and direct approach to dealing
with the problems of today. Because everyone is aware that education is the best key for
avoiding both these topics, bulletin boards were filled with information, tables were set up
for question answering, and pamphlets were handed out to passing students as sororities and
clubs played their part by participating and organizing events during Alcohol Awareness
week and AIDS Awareness day. Information was available everywhere, and hopefully, all
questions were answered...

The Marist ideal of excellence in education
implies the cultivation of a free and enlight-
ened mind through the discipline of scholarly
study and dialogue.
The Marist College Mission Statement
~
The faculty-student relationships among the Marist Commu-
nity are ones that surpass most other institutions. Being at a
rather small college
,
Marist faculty and students have a wonder
-
ful opportunity to get to know one another on a personal level.
Aside from office hours
,
professors make themselves very
accessible to their students through e-mail and sometimes home
phone numbers. When a student takes the initiative to get
acquainted with his or her professor
,
a special bond is created
that will last not just for the four years that each student is here
,
but well into the future.
We, the students, turn to the faculty and staff for guidance
and instruction on which paths to take toward our future. They
succe
e
d in making each Marist student feel important and
special-- as if their time is endless when helping students figure
out his or her course schedule or another problem they may face.
Through it all these people are our parents away f
r
om home-- an
obligation they don
'
t take lightly.
The faculty give the students the respect that young adults
need
,
the space for maturing
,
and the room to make a few minor
mistakes that they will learn from
.
As educators they realize that
new students are on their own for the first time. The faculty at
Marist are pa
tr
ent and willing to suggest a helpful hint. They do
not criticize or pass judgements
,
but rather listen and advise
.
The faculty at Marist understand that we are still experimenting
and need to make slight errors in decision-making every once in
a while, but are stern when this experimenting is taken too far.
This creates a harmony of fun and responsibility, two key things
that a maturing adult learns through college experiences
.

Standing in

Athletics ... what does the word mean to you? Well
to different people, it means different things. To the
student-athletes it means, among other things, gruel-
ing practice schedules, intrusions on their social life,
early morning classes, and missed vacations. They
are at the very center of Red Fox athletics.
Then there are the coaches, trainers, aides, stu-
dent-managers, and tutors. These are the people
who work just as hard as the athletes, put up with the
same restrictions on their life-style, and who never-
thelff
s
s get half the credit. Their dedication to the
athletes eases the pressure and makes each game
run smoothly.
Of course we cannot forget the supporters of the
Red Fox athletic teams, which includes everyone on
campus: faculty, staff, and students. Without their
ch
~
e
ering and support, the athletes would not have the
motivation and excitement to play to their full poten-
,
tial.
Everyone on campus makes a contribution to
athletics, whether as an athlete, band member, coach,
manager, or fan. The school spirit demonstrated by
everyone involved is the heart of the athletics at
Marist. So, the next time you are at a Red Fox game,
whatever your role is, remember that your contribu-
tion is important to our community.

The men's lacrosse team got off to a
strong start, but unfortunately could not sus-
tain it, losing six games to end the season at
7-8. Leed by juniors Greg Schneider and Dave
Kiddney, the Red Foxes played brilliantly for
much of the campaign. Senior goaltender
Craig Grevelding, who anchored a solid
defense, finished among the top goaltenders
in the country in save percentage. This
young program laid some good foundations
during this campaign, on which they should
be able to build.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
A LOOK AT THE SEASON ...
Marc R. Lestinsky
The 1995-96 season for the Marist
women began with high spirits and lofty expec-
tations -- but ended with a sub:-par 14-17
overall record (8-10 NEC) and a disappointed
quintet of seniors. On the positive side of
things, junior center Stacey Dengler and
sophomore guard Jean-Marie Lesko both
battled back from injury-riddled 1994-95 cam-
paigns and played exceptionally well. Dengler
averaged a double-double for the season (15.5
ppg., 10.3 rpg.) on her way to earning All-NEC
first team honors, while Lesko finished second
·
on the team in scoring with 14.0 per game. As
for the departing core of seniors, Darrah Metz,
Tara Walsh, Melissa Hauser, and Jill Heller,
they should all leave Marist with their heads
held high as they provided the school with
timeless memories and endless hustle.
Developing winning strategies gives
the Women
'
s Basketball team the
motivation they need to beat their
opponents.
The Marist Red Fox women have
proven through the years that they
can meet any challenge they face.

The men's basketball team finished the
season by breaking numerous records. With an
overall record of 22-7
,
the Red Foxes secured the
best record in one season, most overall victories in
one season
,
and most regular season victories in
one season. The men excited the Northeast
Conference tournamer:it
in
the second round,
losing to Monmouth University
.
The Red Foxes
did, however
,
travel to the University of Rhode
Island to participate in the National Invitational
Tournament where they were defeated in the first
round. The team was led by seniors Alan Tomidy,
Danny Basile, and Kareem Hill. Tomidy broke Rik
Smits' record for blocks in a single game with 11
and Steve Smith's record for rebounds in a single
game with 22 on February 8, 1996 against Long
Island University at the Mccann center. Hill has
been playing in Europe for a French professional
team. Dave Magarity, in his tenth season as head
coach of the Red Foxes, recorded his 200th win of
his coaching career on January 17, 1996 against
FDU.

Saccomanno, Roger Hancock, Pete Ford, and

way for the Red Foxes. The senior class
graduated with the honor of being the most
winning senior class in Marist history, with a
record of 22-17-1.

College life
is
more than academics; it includes friend-
ships,
fun,
and
experience as well. The friends
we
make and the experiences we have all come
from
the
activities we participate in
.
Marist offers many
clubs
and
organizations for students to participate in; from Band,
to MCTV, to the Psychology Club. There
is
quite a
variety
of
organizations
to meet the
needs and interests
of the student body. Whether a student enjoys perform-
ing, producing, or helping the community, they can find
a group which gives them the opportunites to be active
and make a difference.
Each year the student
body provides many activities
which are very successful. MCCTA produces many
theatre performances which entertain and
impress
the
audience; the Circle staff informs the Mar'lst community
of the news and events which effect the College; the
Social Work Association and Greek Organizations
provide many community service activities which make
a difference where help is needed; and the Student
Programming Council organizes lectures, concerts,
comedians, and dances to enhance the campus
social
life.
Although college students concentrate much of their
time on their academics, many of them are also
in-
volved in activities, clubs, and campus organizations in
order to meet people and keep them busy
.
The
charac-
teristics students gain, such as leadership, come from
their involvement in campus life.

The Student Government Association serves as the governing body of all student
organizations and is the representative voice of students in faculty and administrative
affairs. S.G.A. is dedicated to the fulfillment of student needs and expectations
:
as well
as enhancing the personal and professional growth of Marist students. In order
to
achieve these ends, the members of S.G.A. must be confident, outgoing, open-minded,
sensitive, and pursuers of their own good. With these standards, we lay the founda-
tion of an organization dedicated to improving life at Marist both now and in the
future.
•
~
The Student Government Association came into this year troubled by the specter of
old problems and the evolution of new ones. During our summer meeting,
'
fresh after
the raising of the Greek club cap shrugged that burden off our shoulders, a simple
phrase became not only a theme, but a mission. The 1995-1996 Student Government
administration was to be the "Year of the Response"; the year S.G.A. worked for the
students; the year of emphasized communication; the year of more efficient govern-
ment.
And what came of that year was a successful Student Government that set high goals
and reached even higher to atfain them. With the dedication, hard work, and commit-
ment to the students of Marist College by each and every member of S.G.A., we were
finally able to get closure of the Greek clqb cap, Freshman Visitation Policy, and
weekend guest passes which, in turn, allowed us to refocus on other important areas of
student life. Our ability to do that was one of the largest contributing factors to our
success.
However, future administrations face many challenges that lie ahead. To say that
all the problems are solved and all the issues dead would be naive, and that we have
made all the necessary changes in one year impractical. So it is the duty of S.G.A. to
continue what was started this year-- serve and communicate with the students in the
best, most efficient way possible; fairly and aggressively represent the interests of the
student body in dealings with the faculty and administration; make S.G.A. a more
efficient organization; and make each and every year the "Year of Response".
Best Wishes in all your Endeavors,

END OF AFFIRMITIVE ACTION? It was nearly three decades ago, after a series
of race riots in Los Angeles
,
Newark and Detroit
,
that a commitment began to use
race-based programs to improve the lives of blacks
.
It was called affirmative
action. But in '95- '96 affirmative action plans began to get weaker
.
The Supreme
Court issued decisions making it harder to justify giving minorities and women
preferences in the awarding of federal contracts; and the Clinton Administration
was re-evaluating federal affirmative action programs
.
MILLION MAN MARCH. A large con-
tingent of black men marched in Wash-
ington in a spirited rally for unity and
brotherhood. The Million Man March
was organized by Nation of Islam leader
Louis Farrakhan
.
MISS AMERICA. Miss Oklahoma,
Shawntel Smith
,
got an extra birthday
present for her 24th birthday: she was
crowned Miss America
.
But she had to
share the attention
.
Swimsuits also
took center stage as television view-
ers voted overwhelmingly to retain the
swimsuit competition, keeping with 75
years of pageant history. Detractors of
this part of the competition tried to have
it eliminated

Although as Seniors we must go on into the world
,
our
memories will never leave us nor these pages. As we look
back at our years here at Marist, we should remember all
those people who touched our lives and the special moments
which helped us grow and learn.
We would like to offer thanks to those people who have
been by our s
i
de along the way. To our parents and grand-
parents who have taught us how to live and have supported
us through the hard times
.
To all of our friends, who have
made the good times memorable and the bad times bearable.
And to our teachers and mentors
,
who have shown us that we
have it within ourselves to discover knowledge an
d
put it to
good use
.
Without their faith we could not be where we are
today. So we thank all of our loving family and friends for
eve
l¼
thing they have ever taught us, because they have
helped make us better people.
We would also like to thank all of the people who have
helped sponsor this book
.
With their generous donations
,
the
staff has been able to create a yearbook which we can
treasure all of our lives
.
Although we have seen some hard times as we made our
j
ourney the past four years, we can now look back and say
that we succeeded. Now we are ready to move on to the next
stage in our lives
.
Although we are going our separate ways,
we will always have the fond memories and the friends we
have made at Marist.
We would like to wish the students who are following in our
footsteps the best of luck
.
We hope that you all achieve your
highest dreams
.
These are truley the best years of our lives
.
Enjoy each day and be thankful for the important people in
your lives. Most of all, be wise and absorb as much knowl-
edge as you can, because it will benefit you throughout your
lives.

As we go through time
,
we not only learn things about life
we also begin to build our own lives. We have taken the
foundation our parents have given us
,
and, brick by brick,
WE
have built our lives to our own design. Marist has become a
important part of our lives and has provided us with many
bricks from
·
·
our college community. The f~iends and f~mily
we have developed while at Marist form yet another layer to
I
be added to our lives. Just as we will contirn,ie to build on
OL
existing foundation
,
Marist College itself will continue to grov
The future holds many new developments for the Marist
community.
-
The new Mccann Center, a new library
,
and eventually
more improvements are in store. Although the foundation th
Marist Brothers set many years ago has grown, the core
values remain within the communitiy. Dedication and deter-
111ination
continue to echo through the campus where bare
hands
laid
every brick and stone just over fifty years ago.
Donnelly Hall and the Chapel are just some of the prod-
ucts that came from the Marist Brothers. Through the years
they have also produced many young people who have sine,
set out
lnto
the world to share
their
knowledge and experi-
ence. The students who leave Marist are going to make an
impression on the world
,
and one that no one can ever forge

the end of the year means
getting through exams and preparing for the
summer
;
however, the seniors are counting
down to their graduation and beginning a new
life
.
The Marist band looks back on a year that has
been very successful. These members supported
every athlete and are proud of their achieve-
ments
.
Campus Changes
President Dennis Murray and founding
President Brother Paul Ambrose
spoke at
the
ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion
of the James J. Mccann Recreation Center.
Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel, the Library
,
the Greystone Building, and the Rotunda are
all a part of the Marist history. Students
,
faculty, and administration use these buildings
frequently, but rarely take a moment to
realize
how beautiful the campus really is.
The Mccann ground-breaking ceremony in the
spring meant new improvements to our
campus and more history added to Marist.
The Recreation Center has in store more
facilities for the student's use
.
Listening intently to
her professor
,
BethAnn
Stanger is
looking
forward
to making it
through finals and
finishing her sophomore
year
.
Studying for finals can be stressful
at times
,
but
when you
have
a freind
to study with, the
long
hours in
the library don
'
t
seem
so bad.
Work
f
$riends
Students can look forward to the improvements
the library will be
going
under, which means
more available resources.
Taking a study break, these students relax on the
overlook
,
which is where many students go to
enjoy the view of the Hudson River.
I,
Flooded with emotions such as excitement
,
sadness
,
and fear, these 1996 graduates take a
moment to remember the great times they
'
ve
shared in their four years
.
Heading back to Champagnat
,
these girls have
made this campus their home away from home
.
During finals week
,
students find it difficult to
find a free computer in the labs
;
however
,
once
they do
,
they find themselves there for hours.
We learn many lessons in college
,
but the most
important one is that the friendships we have
formed at Marist have made lasting impressions
on our lives.

I,
I'll never forget how I felt in
September when I was elected
Editor in Chief of the
Reynard.
I
was overwhelmed with feelings of
excitement, apprehension, and
determination.
I
knew that this
year, being Marist's 50th anniver-
sary as a four year college would
pose a special challenge-- to cre-
ate a yearbook representative of
both the past and the present. I
suspect that my emotions were
similar to those of the Mari st Broth-
ers when they first began the Marist house of studies, and later in 1946
,
laid the foundation for the institution that we know today. When they
accepted their challenges, could they have fully perceived the success
that would be achieved? Could they have envisioned the number of
futures that would be influenced as a result of their determination and
commitment?
In honor of this special year, the
Reynard
staff has committed itself
to creating a book that would reflect not only Marist today, but incorporate
the importance of its past. For this reason, we have chosen
l
mpressions
as our theme. Everyone and everything has had an influence on our
lives. Just as my past has made an impression on me, Marist's past has
made an impression on our community. We should all take time to
remember those important people who have made an impression on our
lives-- like the Marist Brothers. I know also that I could not have made
it where
,
I am today without the support of my parents and friends.
Because of them, the past two years at Marist have been some of the
best of my life.
We the staff of the 1996
Reynard
hope that in years to come
these
pages will help us all to relive the years when we called Marist "home,"
and at the same time demonstrate the importance of the past in building
this home. I believe that through the hard work and dedication of the
Reynard staff, we have met our goal to provide a record of Marist, past
and present. As Marist moves toward its next 50 years, we will all have
played a role in helping to fulfill the dreams of our founders and in building
the future for new generations.
Best Wishes and Good Luck,
~
a.
