Catherine Miehm Chronicle staff More buildings, a much larger staff and the difference in three generations of students have been the biggest changes witnessed by Wilfrid Laurier University‘s lonâ€" gest employed staff member.

"The changes I saw will always be my strongest memory," she said. â€" â€" The WLU campus was then afâ€" filiated with the University of Waterloo when she went to work there in 1955.

Another change noted by McClenaghan was the remarkable difference in students from one generation to the next. "When I first started all the students were so nice and cleanâ€" cut," she said. ‘"Then they came into that hippie era of long hair and torn jeans. Now they‘re all neat and tidy again."‘ McClenaghan left the registrar‘s office in 1959 and moved to the acquisitions department where she remained, planning library poliâ€" cies and procedures. The universiâ€" ty gives her much of the credit for the automation of the acquisitions records in 1974. But, after 30 years of work, McClenaghan is looking forward to her newâ€"found freedom. Always avid travellers, she and her husband Mel, who retired last year after 35 years with Seaâ€" gram‘s, plan to make more freâ€" quent trips. "We always went to Florida for a couple of weeks in the winter," she said. "Now we can go for a couple of months."‘ They‘ve already been to Japan, Hong Kong, Hawaii and many places in Europe. They‘re hoping to go to Spain and Portugal in the near future and have already planned a Caribbean cruise for next January. ‘"We haven‘t done too much definite planning yet," she said, "what we‘re really looking forâ€" ward to is spending more time with our grandchildren."
