Autumn. . . Yellow and red it breaks. . . The sharp tang of fall crisps across the campus. . . The warm hand clasp of old friend- ships. . . The estimating one of new. . . The thud of shoe meet- ing pigskin. . . The hoarse cry rolling from the bleachers. The thrilling impact of falling bodies and streaking touchdown runs. Homecoming. . . The bronze turkey. . . Fraternities and soror- ities rush and bid with the accompanying happiness and heartbreak. Studies are turned to begrudgingly. . . Some do not belong and leave. Others begin the best of years. . Routine dominates. And life moves on.

Winter. . . Leaves have fallen. . . Frosts bugle the coming of snow. . . Then the northwesters ravage down upon the campus. Ice. . . Cold. . . Tuxes make the perfect backdrop for shim- mering formal gowns. . . The hardwood court is rivaled by music, dramatics, debate. . . Candlelight service at the Second Church sounds the perfect Christmas carol. . . The campus is made even more deso- late by the lonely rounds of the fireman. . . Holidays. . . The bubble bursts. . . The library is discovered. . . Cramming. Midnight oil. . . Exams. . . A few more drop out. Then normal life is resumed. . . If it is ever normal.
