CCC: Land of
opportunity
You’ve all heard this a thou
sand times since; you started at
Clackamas this year, but indulge
me as I officially say, “welcome.”
Clackamas Community Col
lege can be the land of opportu
nity, or the land of failure.
Curran's
Corner
As a veteran of Clackamas
let me suggest to those of you
who are new to the college, j ust a
few things that might make life
easier for you.
1) Actually go to the classes
you’ve signed up for. Although
this is college, some instructors
will include your attendance as
part of your grade. Also, there
are some classes (i.e. math) where
you can get seriously behind if
ter and the dances. Events like
these provide an effective release
from your studies and can also
expose you to the lighter side of
the college. Don’t, however, let
these things interfere with your
studies.
3) A way to pass time and
have fun is to join one of the
many Associated Student Gov
ernment sponsored clubs. These
clubs fall into four separate cate
gories.
A. Co-Curricular clubs are
designed to expand your hori
zons. These clubs include music,
drama, and student publications.
B. Recreational clubs give
the student an opportunity to
enjoy campus related events.
Bowling and skiing fall into this
category.
C. Special Interest clubs such
as Baptist Student Ministries, Phi
Theta Kappa, and Phi Beta
Lambda, expose the student to
experiences unrelated to the class
room.
D. Sports clubs are listed by
team. Clackamas has several dif
ferent competitive intercollegiate
sports which fall into this cate
gory.
4) And, of course, read The

and every Christmas she could
be found scrounging in the attic
for a little church house that sang
Silent Night. When she found it
she would lovingly brush off the
past years dust and wind it up
over and over again while she
stared dreamily into space. How
insignificant are the things we
noticed as children. How small
they seem when viewed through
the eyes of an adult.

Someone strong enough to stand up for

Memories provide life's
most enjoyable times
Memories are cherished
thoughts of yesterday. There are
no bad memories, just bad recol
lections. Much of our adult life
has been molded and shaped by
memories. They make us who we
are today.
Memories can be made of
very small things, like steamy
windows from boiling chicken on
a hot day, or the smell of apple
butter sputteringin the oven. Or
father’s low voice as he asks the
evening blessing.
Then there are the more
traditional memories. It still
brings a warm glow to my heart
when I pause to recall Christmas
at home. The word Christmas
brings to mind snowy evenings,
hay rides and caroling. In my
mind’s eye I can still see my
mother’s matronly figure as she
bends over the oven trying to get
the broth off of the Christmas
ham. I can even see the hair that
has escaped her tightly coiled bun,
blowing in the hot air from the
oven. My older sister loved music

wonderful time at our house. The
summer’s harvest was all brought
in. The barn, cellar, and pantry
were filled to overflowing. What
a thrill it was to wake up one
frosty morning and know that
there was not one ear of corn left
in the field or one little peach
that was not in the jar.
Spring brought a pleasure
all it’s own. The apple trees, in
the old orchard would throw on
their frocks of pink and white
and all theworld would sing with
new life. Fields needed ploughed
and planted. There was nd longer
ice to chip off the cow’s trough;
no more frozen water pipes. It
was spring.
Sometimes when the going
gets rough and the adult world I
now live in becomes too much, I
escape down memory lane. I
believe that it’s important that
we as parents provide our chil
dren with loving memories of
home and family... quiet evenings
spent reading Little House On
The Prairie.
