LarryKennedy President "Expectgreat thingsfrom God;attemptgreat thingsforGod." 498TuscanAvenue•Hattieshurg,Mississippi39401-5461 •(601)582-6495 The 2001-2002 school year proved to be a year full ofmemories. Freshman remember how they felt when they first came to the campus. New friendships were forged. Some enemies were made. Some couples even became engaged. Classes were passed and classes were failed. We all remember where we were on September 1 1 when we first heard the news. This year has truly been filled with many memories, good and bad. The theme of The Crusader this year is "The Journey Never Ends." This theme is worked into the different sections ofthis publication, but that theme is also worked into the aspects ofour lives. For entering freshman, thejourney does not end after their first year it continues throughout the college years. For graduating seniors, it closes another chapter in the book ofthat personsjourney through life. Thejourney does not end. It continues through the years ofour lives. Each day adds its own page. Sometimes thejourney is rough. At times the yearbook staffthought this publication would never end. but it did. We are proud ofthe work we have done to produce a yearbook forWilliam Carey College and its faculty, staft'. and students. This publication is the first step in improving the yearbooks at William Carey College. We are excited about the changes that are taking place, and we look forward to the 2002-2003 yearbook. In closing we would like to thank the administrafion. faculty, staff, and students ofWilliam Carey College for their support. Also, we want to thank all those who purchased ads and gave extra eftort to complete this publication. Thank you. God BlessYou.
