I went into the Chapel and thought of its greatness and power. The service began, I listened to the words. They seemed strange and forbidding, for it was the first time I had honestly listened. On second thought, the words contained comfort and inspira- tion, and I felt as if I had found a new world, but I didn ' t understand why. Our study - hall has a wonderful atmosphere of friendship, peace, and study. One can almost feel the concentration. The deep silence is broken only by the sound of turning pages and an occasional cough. This little box in which so much is accomplished, is very appropriately lined with books, forming a warm plaid around the r(K)m. The clcKk ticking away in front of everyone ' s eyes, acts as a grim reminder, firmly telling us that there is only so much time; use it welll But the sternness of the clock can not hide the homey, and the well and profitably worn look. It is this which makes the study hall a Mecca for all Seminary students. By seven o clock on a winter evening, the outline of the Seminary has faded into the dark sky. The few lights shining in the rooms are framed by the square windows and stand out like yellow splotches on the background of a cubistic picture. I rarely think of the Seminary in terms of structure or appearance. Any light that I have seen has always made me think of the girl in whose room it was shining; every time the front door has swung open I have attached a story to those who exited and entered. As I penetrate in- side the hedge and walk the halls of minds and spirits, I find my picture. On your mark, get set, one more day to go! The excitement in the air is as tangible as a rubber band stretched to the breaking point! It sings when some- one touches it and the strands fall away with sharp pings as the band is pulled tighter and tighter. In approximately twenty-one and three- fourth s hours, the final strand will break, and the excitement will escape into a pell-mell, mixed-up conglomeration of screeching, yelling, and whooping that sounds like open house at McNeil Island. Vacation at last!
