Yes, we've taken pride in achievement that was fair, and we've also taken pride in Wfair achievement - witness our Honor Code or constitution for the honor system. Now that we have finally reached the goal of all our Culver ambitions, The Iron Gate, we look back upon our records with deep satisfaction in the knowledge that they were honest- no punches pulled, no fouls thrown. Those of us who wear gold or silver A's or Cum Laude pins have particular reason to be proud, for in a large school with keen competition and a progressive faculty these emblems symbolize long hours of hard and successful work. They tell our future colleges the same thing about us as thinkers that varsity letters tell about us as athletes or chevrons tell about us as leaders. Culver has taught us to respect brain just as much as brawn or personality, and we hold this one of our most useful lessons. And, speaking of useful lessons, we have studied many things that have no future cash value. At the moment we can see no way in which Shelley or Shakespeare will help us to earn a living, but they have already shown us how to live. Through some of our more abstract courses and under the in- fluence of the art exhibits and the record concerts we have grown in consciousness and appreciation of beauties and subtleties in life which we might otherwise have been blind to for years to come. It is true enough that in the rush of a busy school year we have sometimes lost sight of our ultimate goal, but now in retrospect we recall many hours of quiet browsing in the library and many others of rich discovery in the laboratories or creative self-expression in the studios. These are the hours which we shall cherish in the future among our memories of Culver. This looks like fun if it docsn't blow up the place. Colne in and try it. It's more fun than you'd think. t15l

In keeping with the philo- sophy behind our athletic program here at Culver that 'cnot simply the chosen few who naturally excel in sports but all of young America should be strong, healthy, clean, and virilef' we found a well-balanced schedule which not only taught us sports that would build our bodies and be useful to us at the present time but also I1 6 taught us sports that we could enjoy in the future when we had grown out ofthe age of the more strenuous games. lve received training in physical education as a part of our regular drill the first two years we spent at Culver. Through this we could find some sport that held more interest for us than others, and what was even more pleasing was the fact that there was no pressure put on us to participate in athletics if we did not so desire. Our athletic program was divided into four group- ings: the basic instructional courses, the intramural competitive sports, the varsity sports, and leisure time l
