Off With His Head, Said The Queen Augiast 27 , and the endless summer is sailing its final days. The season ' s head slowly begins to fade as it blends with the musty warm days of a fresh autumn. The seniors of last spring ' s commencement are gone , and the wise ones know they will never return. Their allotted time has come to pass , and regardless of their struggle time steadily plods ahead . The noonday sun has begun to sink . , . etc . , etc . Amidst such pessimistic garble is the beginning of a new fall . Garble ? A convenient word to explain the disorder of life . Effective in describing situations one simply does not understand. ' ' Garble, ' ' by the way, was taught to me by an ex- senior. (Proof that learning does occur in lower forms of life , ) Fall . What an odd time for a beginning ■ Yet , it is only sensible as the seniors leave in spring . ' ' Whoa, ' ' said the prophet, • ' 1 tMnk there ' s a lesson here . ' ' Let me try to explain without too much garble . In perspective , all things have their time . A Biblical lesson, difficult if not impossible to grasp and follow. The incoming freshmen are relinquishing 18 years of another life , and have signed up for a ride they will never forget . It is appropriate tiiey begin in the fall , as they are also concluding another phase of their life simultaneously . The seniors , on the other hand , begin life anew when they leave this institution. They belong ht r in the spring , their minds are forging ahead beyond ivory towers . Obviously, both are going through difficult times, leading two lives at once . In between those glorious years are juniors and sophomores. Simple years of insanity. I warn you, don ' t dwell too long on this topic. It is depressing when one realizes that this has been going on here for 159 years. Maryville College might say you ' re merely a number . , . nothing else . Look at the sidewalks beneath your feet; the class of 1902, the class of ' 04, of ' 10 , ... they speak for themselves . And so the new year is upon us . New faces , new joys and sorro vs , and the same old headaches . When it concludes, forever finis, only memories will remain, Freshmen will be sophomores , sophomores will be juniors , juniors will be seniors and seniors will give their ultimate valediction to youth . Many faculty will disappear and the administration will only come with ; change . . . The lesson here is obvious , painfully simple . It is either good or bad . One either accepts or rejects the painted pictu re of reality which clotiies our existence . Your choice determines your destiny. Your fate is already known. Garble you say? Of course it is. Isn ' t it: Listen to my story, though, I haven ' t told it all. Unto my heart an air tfiat kills From yon far country blows , What are those blue rememibered hills , What spires , what farms are those ? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain. The happy highways where 1 went And cannot come again . A.E. Houseman Bob Bishop, ECHO, September 21, 1978.
