Bridgett Bonds (top left) grew up in St. Louis surrounded by poverty and crime. As a star basketball player
at Southern Illinois University, she has talent that could take her away from city slum life. Instead, after
graduation she plans to return to the city and help others find an escape through college. Dana Lofland
(above left) is a two time All-American golfer at San Jose State University. Freshman quarterback Klint
Alexander (top right) was recruited by virtually every powerhouse football school in the country, and could
have spent many Saturday afternoons this Fall on national television. But academics came first, so Klint
decided on Duke. Brown sophomore Laura Bidlake (below left) has lived in California, Canada, Germany
and Japan. She now resides in Providence, where she rows on the Brown women's crew team. When he
first began college, University of Florida physical education major Jean-Claude Conte (below right) used
his bicycle just as a mode of transportation. These days he uses it as a racing machine, and has recently
emerged as one of the top contenders in Southeastern biking competitions. -
