OUR t ed nCett er days For twenty-two autumns now stu¬ dents have come from half the states in the nation to begin a year at Marion College. Sometimes it’s for another year, sometimes for the first year; but always a year anticipated, anxiously awaited, and gladly begun. Below left, Opal, secretary to the president, smiles as she greets stu¬ dents, dispenses registration cards, and gives all manner of information. For four years now Opal has been at her desk in the Ad Building hall, welcoming students, old and new, and starting them on a year at M. C. And before the registration is over everyone will sooner or later find his way to the president’s office. Below right, Marilyn “talks it over” with the president, who knows all the answers and solves all the problems. With his signature, and the one re¬ maining formality of a visit to the treasurer’s office, the year has of¬ ficially begun. Then ensue thirty-six weeks of epochal struggles. The brave student begins his year’s race full of life and vigor, and, blissfully oblivious of the maddening weeks ahead—12, 18, 24, 30, 32, 33—and he is nearing the end.

OF THE YEAR 1941-1942 He has been haunted by the omin¬ ous spectre of collateral reading, tor¬ mented by the infinite duties of clubs and classes, taxed by daily assign¬ ments, and sobered by thought of approaching finals. But now he is nearing the end of it all. Finally the last text is closed, every blue book is written, and the daze of his year is ended. But though the daze is over, the confusion is not. Let him who dis¬ putes call at Teter Hall, Congress Hall, Rigsby’s, or Beals’ (etc.). Let him walk through the rooms, leap over suitcases and lamps, and plough through piles of socks, shirts, pillows and shoes. Packing is in full swing. And, indeed, conclusion is confusion. And when it is ended, 200 students will, like Charlotte pictured below, start joyfully homeward, then to dream of another year when they can come back and do it all over again. 1 low follow this Wontk to WontL evieiv ■fW rf 1
