So that's how it was and is. The climb up from bewildered freshmen to assured seniors was a peculiar combination of pleasure and pain. One's character changed, as puzzled parents found out over brief vacations.

It began from three to six years ago. There was registration and a quizzical look. There were tests and exams. There were Fis and A's, honors and probation. There were classmates who transferred, flunked out, or were asked to leave. Then, suddenly, it was all over. There would never again be quiet hours, 12 o'clock Saturday night curfews for the girls, housemothers, dorm proctors, the Commons line or some of the faces that had become a part of us. Speeches were made and some listened. Others couldnit. After the leatherhound sheepskins were handed out, the survivors, the graduates, departed to start all over again. Some will return often to relive cher- ished memories, more will come hack only on rare occasionsg some few will have left the Roanoke College campus forever.
