“Oh gosh, so hard to choose! I laughed the hardest during soccer games with the ‘Hooligans,’ had my life perspective changed while swimming with dolphins and singing ‘Karanga’ in New Zealand and loved every moment of Monday night dinners over at The Rack.” –Susanne Sayles • “My favorite Linfield memory encompasses doing baile folkario for LCLA, dancing the shuffle, shufflin’ with friends, riding scooters and bikes around McMinnville during the summer and springtime.” –Hilda Escalera • “Wednesday night community.” –Stephen Dennis • “I loved all of the faculty-student retreats, like Linhütte and the English Department get-togethers. I have too many great memories!” –Rivka Nipper • “CABANA!!!” –Quinn Murphy • “Driving 20 hours non-stop to Zion National Park in Utah with Tasha Cooper, Stephanie Anderson, Loren Liden and Brianne Ries for our Spring Break.” –Helen Kehoe • “My favorite Linfield memory was finding a bird stuck in the Emmaus House chimney and helping Nikki Anderson get it out with her hand and an oven mitt. It was a beautiful year spent with beautiful friends.” –Chelsea Hall • “Playing Frisbee golf throughout campus on those gorgeous sunny days.” –Alessondra Eckstrom • “My favorite Linfield memory is dancing in the fog in the academic quad with Becca Williams during an especially frustrating evening when I slaved away on a Methods paper. It was a moment in which I felt really alive.” –Dayna Tapp • “Snorkeling during Spring Break while studying abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico.” –Adriana Daoust • “Getting my first strike with good friends.” –Jennifer Worcester • “My favorite memory, besides the numerous times hanging out with friends, would have to be Wildstock 2011. I got to experience it with a great group of people, and I won’t be forgetting it anytime soon.” –Mackenzie Herrick • “Aside from roaming the streets of Dakar and going to absolutely groovy, packed Senegalese concerts, I’d have to say one of my fondest memories is with Hilda Escalera and Katie Paysinger practicing our shuffle for our graduation walk…or biking with them…or night drives and poetry with Jordan Jacobo…or cooking with Lauren Funtanilla or recording silly voices with Dayna Tapp.” –Lacey Dean • “Kappa Sigma good times.” –Arnbjørn Stockholm • “Meeting Caitlin Nevin.” –KayCee Hallstrom • “Going on a 30-mile bike ride around the most beautiful peninsula in Ireland while I was abroad last spring. My legs weren’t too happy about it, though.” –Cameron DuBois • “ZTA and random nights.” –Caitlin Nevin • “Mainly just the amazing people I’ve met recently. And probably hanging out in the English Department.” –Amanda Mattern • “One of my favorite Linfield memories is the first week back to classes or starting new classes because everybody is excited to see each other and start fresh again!” –Beau Slayton • “One of my favorite memories from my time at Linfield would have to be turning this campus upside down looking for shamrocks during the Shamrock Hunt each year with Hilda Escalera, Lacey Dean, Sam O’Connor and Lauren Funtanilla. Either that or convincing Jordan Jacobo and Tim Wagar to go to Poland with me to see a painting that ended up actually being in Hungary. My bad. Those two memories definitely make the top five.” –Katie Paysinger • “Scoring the opening touchdown against Willamette this year, then screwing up the celebration after by falling down. It was only fitting.” –Chris Saunders • “There are so many!

Term class to study the economics of D-Day.” –Hank Iba • “Broadcasting all the best D-III sports teams west of the Mississippi.” –Kurtis Williams • “Linfield gave me the fantastic opportunity to travel to the Galapagos Island in Ecuador.

I worked the midnight to 6 a.m. shift with a lot of kids from Storey Street, and it was truly a memory that I would not have gotten anywhere but from Linfield.” –Kelley Hungerford • “There are many good memories that I could mention here (too many!), but one of my favorite memories from this year was the Caleb and Sol concert, which I was very privileged to organize. My dad and stepmom drove down for it, and it was really neat to combine two of my worlds in a way — home and college life. A lot of my friends were there as well, and I’m so thankful to God and all the people that helped organize it and to Caleb and Sol and their band for how well the concert went.” –Sierra Stopper • “Playing Wildstock 2011 with Prowler.” –Garrett Garceau • “One of my favorite Linfield memories is moving in freshman year and getting to know the girls on my floor.
