[Health Fair: Page 4 fii Collegian Todd Ritter The theme of the upcoming semi-formal is, appropriately enough, "This is the Time to Remember." It is a fitting theme for all the students on campus, but especially for those who are leaving. Granted, I have only been here for two semesters, but I, too, must face the bittersweet realization that all things come to an end. We who are leaving-transferring to University Park or to other colleges across the country-must say goodbye to people, places and things which will never be the same again. In your first semester of college, you hesitantly say farewell to your high school friends, exchange promises of letter writing and are gone. You stumble into a completely different world, one ripe with possibilities. Soon you meet new people and the ache for your old friends slowly dims then vanishes and you find that you don’t have enough time to write those letters you so sincerely promised. You have a new life now, one that revolves around an entirely new group of people who help, influence and inspire you. Some have mild effect on you, while others, if you are as fortunate as I have been, make an earth-shattering difference in your life. It will not be easy to say goodbye to any of them. Back in November, I discovered that I would be transferring to U-Park in the fell. I was fairly happy about it until my one friend began to cry after I told her. "I’m going to miss you," she said. At that point I realized that iSpring Semi-Formal: Page 6 my time with her, with everyone, was frighteningly short. Since then the months have flown by and now I find myself having to say farewell to a lot of people I really don’t want to leave. Yet, ironically, I am meeting new people everyday. In fact, I know about twenty more people now than I did two weeks ago. The question I ask myself is, "Why bother with new people when you will only leave them in a few weeks?" As I write this I am quickly becoming good friends with a person I hardly knew a week ago. I was hesitant at first, stating that it was pointless to get to know another person when we’ll just have to part in a month’s time. But, I decided, what a month it could be, filled with new experiences and packed with the chance for memories. The semester is winding down and for some people their experiences at Penn State Hazleton are coming to a close. Do not worry about leaving, however. Everyone must inevitably part at one time or another. Instead, reach out and get to know more people. This is the time to remember and it is your duty to create memories that will stay with you long after the people in them are gone. Experience all you can experience and enjoy all there is to enjoy. It is the feet that we car feel emotions such as love, friendship and happiness with such passion and intensity that mates life ultimately worth living. And, no matter what else happens, please remember this. ■y. "Always Smiling and Always Happy" By: Janel Murphy We have had a recent tragedy here at the Penn State Hazleton campus, losing a beloved student and friend, Michael (Slip) Fuller. He was a good friend to everyone he knew, very unselfish and generous. If any one of his friends needed something, he was there to give it to them or to help them. He touched many people and affected their lives in countless ways. Even people who did not know him well remember him as "always smiling and always happy". The campus has stuck together and supported each other during this tragedy. Many students When friends come into our lives, We dream of days to come, When friends come into our lives, We know happiness like no one. We laugh, and cry, and dream our dreams, And share our lives together, We care and share our future schemes, And know life to be forever. But when the smiles turn to tears, And we are hurting, and our hearts break, We must know that we can face our fears, And we will get thru what life mates. Smile and remember the good times, And what life is to be, Smile and think of happy times, Because happiness is the key. The family of Michael Eugene Fuller sincerely thanks the students and faculty of Penn State University- Hazelton for the support and sympathy given us following the tragic loss of Michael last week. God bless you all. Penn State Hazleton Campus Volume m Issue V April 1993 A Friend [Final Exam Schedule: Pageß showed their support for the family and their love for Slip by attending his viewing and the memorial service held for him in K-l Thursday afternoon April eigth. It was a very touching service with friends reciting poems and sharing fond memories of Slip . He was a good friend who will be greatly missed by all. Whenever we think of him, instead of feeling sorry for ourselves because of our loss, we should listen to the words of Dan Darrow and feel happy just to have known him and just remember him and his smile.
