Because the women's golf team finished

it did not qualify for the nationals . Last
year the women won the NAIA title.

According to Coach Gregg Cox, "not
returing to defend their national champi-

of the season.

However the highlight of the season
was the finishing second out of 15 teams

returns National Championships, coach Mike Perez feels con-
with a fident that in the upcoming year the team will strive to
strong better their performance through minor adjustments

With five new additions to the team, Mike Perez was
challenged with working with a wide range of talents.
Coming from countries such as Czechoslovakia and
Trinidad, the Lynn tennis team is a diverse team that
holds the potential for a successful future.

With ten wins and eight losses, the tennis team still
comes out on top. We applaud their hard work and
cheer them on as the new year approaches.

Completing the final phase

C ommencement! This is not only a time to celebrate the enormous accom -
plishments of graduates; but a time to remember all of the memories tha t stude nts
have made throughout the past four years of their lives.

This year's commencement was one of the best in the history of Lynn Universi-
ty. We were fortunate to have Irving R. Levine introduce our commencement
speaker. As usual, Dean Levine had the whole a ud ience laug hing a t another one
of his magnificent speeches about the keynote spea ker, George
S te ph a n o p o u l o u s.

George Stephanopoulous served as the former Clinton Administration Se nior
Advisor for Policy and Strate gy. Most of the audie nce knew him from his political
a na lyst on "This Wee k," "Good Mo rning America" a nd other ABC programs.
His inspiring words le ft the seniors with a bright outlook on the future and a laugh
or two about the White House gossip.

ELIZABETH MARIE DUDECK

May 20, 1936 -April 2, 1998

We will miss Betty Dudeck and thank her for the hard work and dedication she gave to
Lynn University for 15 years as the Director of Human Resources.

An Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your

back. May the sun shine warm
upon your face, the rain fall
soft upon your fields. And
until we meet again, may God

hold you in the palm of His hand.
Amen
