14,
here typing this final letter, something I thought would never time last year, and 1 realize this is the last task 1 have to complete as a Longwood student. The thought deeply saddens me. For a place that I was going to transfer out of after my freshman year, I never expected to stay five years and graduate. 1 look back at my Longwood experience and see the PEOPLE who individually influenced and help me grow as a person. 1 take with me the five greatest years of my life, knowledge, career opportunities, and truly wonderful friends. 1 hope this edition of The Virginian can show strangers to Longwood, what a really special place it is. 1 envy the new freshman class entering in the fall; they have so much to learn, gain and experience.

My vision for
book was to center it around the true spirit of and the PEOPLE who year after year carry on those traditions. As 1 taxed my brain searching for a proper theme, one word kept popping up, PEOPLE. And that is where the idea of modeling the yearbook after People Magazine was bom. 1 again thank them for allowing us to use their trademark. It really is the PEOPLE who make our school. A 1932 graduate could return to walk through the Rotunda she remembers, but it will not be the same school because it no longer contains the same PEOPLE. As a yearbook staff, we tried to minimize useless words and fill that space with pictures of PEOPLE and times from the past year the Longwood community could remember. 1 sincerely hope that you enjoy this book as much as The Virginian staff has had putting it together. The Virginian is a Longwood tradition that with your help wUl never die. Your continued support will assist us so that Longwood's yearbook will never have to be revived again. Enjoy!!!! Longwood,
it's
this
tradition
Sincerely,
