Mining into its swift, dark tides the silent, precious seconds of yet another year of our lives, the immortal river has swept us all still further along the downstream course of our great journey. Carrying us from our green-hued freshman days through the cynic sophomore year and the sudden seriousness of junior status to our wisdom-wizened senior pedestal, the impassive movement of stolid Time has loosed Change upon us all. Just as the campus buildings hove weathered a barely perceptible deeper shade and the campus trees hove added on unnoticed ring to their girth, so have we all stood silent this year while Change wrought the subtle effects of his skillful brush upon us. Bobbing quietly in the great mouth of the immortal river in the moment left before it is finally swept irrevocably out into the lost sea of Time beyond, the Class of 1948 sees with the startling clarity of sudden insight the whole of Time ' s carefully calculated schedule. For a second the brood canvas of life stands spread wide before the Class, and they see Change impatiently beckoning them on to the tasks he has set for them in the year immediately ahead. More, they see that as the Class of 1944 had to move on to moke room for them so they must now make room for the yet unshoped Class of 1952 forming on the uppermost reaches of the pulsing time-river.

Mrs. Ada W. Bedell felt the touch of the subtle brush of Change near the end of the first semester of the 1947-48 schoolyear; she resigned as the College Avenue House Head of Residence. Mrs. Maude Mick heeded the beckoning finger of Change and accepted the position. Another of the many new faces Change introduced at the beginning of the year was Jean Ann McFadden who took on the task of planning menus in the College dining rooms. Madge Martin greeted Change happily as she surveyed the health office and infirmary the Time-Artist opened for her use in the new Student Center building. Change, who moves ever to the fore and pauses not a second to glance back over his shoulder, tarried not at oil as the 1947-48 schoolyear drew to a close. Our final glimpse of the itinerant artist of the time-river turned our faces, like his, to the future. Change, with a smile of anticipation, was selecting a new brush — a fine brood one — for the busy 1948- 49 schoolyear he saw drifting down the eternal river.
