We're losing one four-year member this year, and a couple of seniors who just joined this year. It may seem like seniors leaving may be a bad thing, but underclassmen should look at their open positions as an opportunity, not a loss for their team. Last year, we lost 16 seniors out of 25 or so students. The seniors were responsible for about 90% of what went on last year. But the returning members (there were only four or five of us, as other people left the team for other reasons) sustained, recruited people, and although we did have what could probably be called a "transition year," our team was not affected adversely, and we're poised to have a lot of experience next year. It'll turn out all right, trust me.
