Wheaton College - Tower Yearbook (Wheaton, IL)

Forward smiles of white-sand beaches, backward waves to April-fool cold. The calendar says Spring but Wheaton thinks winter. So khaki trench coats cover pleated woolens to merge cold and warmth. The mean will be a town in Tennessee and from the town come shoe-shine boys. Only tennis shoes need no shining. Bare feet also need no shining. And bare feet will impress warm sand when the trip is over. Suitcases are carried high in the air with ease because contents are few. Two las- tex pieces plus woven-wide-brimmed-artificially- flowered-strawed-hats. But Wheaton thinks winter. The lateness is time by clock or by season and the college silently sleeps. Unseen and never known is the language of night. A leafless hedge engulfed in new wet white that leans burdened toward the ground. Spider-netted twigs that spread in opposition governed by the Grower. The uncopied coating of crystal that fore- grounds in drama the darkened bricks .... Only an isolated rectangle of yellow belies preparation for tomorrow. But most people sleep and don't know the night that two are discovering. Unseen and never known is the language of night. ,pm it Y, . Tx I!! X -4 Backward waves to April-fool cold.

A waiting light in this night is compacted knowledge. A blackened sky reflects the oncoming storm and the future spire of a clock. The dimness is now, soon more concrete. Going to the library 20 cv ,IL I is sliding on paths frozen with snow. Going to learn. To the deep realization of how much is left to know. We go to find the answers in books. The answers are sometimes not there. But some people enter the unanswered walls only to escape winter's blaze, only to find a warmth.
