fp LiAy CIRCLG Mh Nothing in this book is true. " Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy. " — The Books of Bokonon. 1 :5 Harmless untruths It has been said before and will be said again — the people make the place. The campus is at times beautiful, even mystic but the inhabitants are more interesting. v YSn " I tended to think when I made talks that ideas were more important than men, I felt that what we were always trying to do was to come up with the smart answers, and it didn ' t really make any difference who had the answer. I thought that a great school was a school whose boys sought out the great ideas, and that therefore the Headmaster ' s job was to pick men who gave their lives to scholarship, and to reading, and to study, and to familiarity with the great ideas. " John M. Kemper COORDINATION a-CERTS itself Two, two, two schools in one! And that ' s the joy of coordination, you get warmth and openness plus an intellectually challenging aca- demic environment in one package — so you can have fun and still emerge with that eastern seaboard seal of approval. Just remember, if he passed you once, we can ' t guarantee he ' ll pass you again. The increased competition which is part of coordination has brought some negative results. Pride, contempt, and ranking have resulted in a greater tendency to categorize institutional and sexual differences.

Sometimes the tension is so great that you feel you have to get away - even if only for a few hours. Faculty Administration At Abbot, Donald A. Gordon has focused his attention on creating a positive environment and stronger sense of community. To the senior class, and in particular those of us who started Abbot as preps, D.A.G. seems almost a peer, as he began when we began four years ago.

Abbot encourages students to experiment. While many of us continue to dabble, a handful have learned to concentrate in one area. These few, especially those whose talent lies in a non-academic field, are looked up to by the community at large. Unfortunately, some students feel that they must specialize to gain recognition and therefore limit their growth. emors We expect events in our lives to go in cycles. We have learned to direct our growth — a pattern has been set. S.A.T. ' s I think that I shall never see A waste quite like an S.A.T. An S A.T. is just a test To find which people guess the best.

Indeed, the whole universe is founded on absurdity, and perhaps, without absurdity there would be nothing at all. There are a few things we do know, after all. " " And what do you know? " " I don ' t understand anything, " Ivan said, like a man in delirium, " and I don ' t wish to understand anything. The moment I start wanting to understand something, I distort the true picture, when what I really want is to stick to the facts.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

Therefore, what is, is eternal for if not, it must have risen from, or must end in, nothing; and nothing does not exist. Motion is an illusion, for a thing can move only by going into empty space, i.e. nothing. Matter is uniform, for it cannot be mixed with nothing to become rarer; the Universe is a motionless, uniform, spherical plenum. H.D.F.

Matsuo Basho Alice Sweeney P.O. Box 157 S. Freeport. Maine a Antonia Holden 168 Chestnut Street Albany, New York The tedium of winter term was delayed by the bomb scare and Operation Deep Freeze. But some things never change. i i Prep year was one of adjustment, and it represented the end of the antiquated social regulations that had previously governed Abbot life. As Juniors, we expe- rienced periods of unrest starting with the Oct. 15th moratorium and continuing throughout the year. Senior-mid year brought about a unification within the class, and a development of individual interests. With the arrival of senior year came the pressure of college applications and the responsibility of student -run organizations. Because of this increased in- volvement with the school, we developed a rapport with certain members of the administration. This rapport alleviated some of the superficial worries of each student figurehead and provided security. Once the myth of senior superiority was dispelled, college applications were mailed, and C.S.C. A.R.A.. Town Meeting, et al. were running as smoothly as could be expected, we were able to focus upon the essence of senior year — sentimentality. As I think over the school ' s progress and mine, 1 get that feeling of — " I wish that I had done more. " To tell that to anyone is useless for it is something that each person must come to realize on her own. None of us will ever forget the friendships and guidance that we have found at Abbot. The emotions that stem from these have contributed to our maturity. From these successful relationships and our personal motivation to learn comes the power to accept, and even enjoy, our often hectic lives. Unfortunately. I cannot apply these astute revelations to only the Class of ' 72 for I know that this growth at Abbot has been experienced in the past and will be experienced by the Class of ' 73, 74, ' 75, and those to follow.
