Prickly Pear Abilene Christian College Editor's Note There are many people who should be given special recognition for their contributions to this book; but the man who influenced me most was Lynn Anderson, then minister of the Highland Church of Christ. The thoughts developed r around his ideas. We tried to put together a yearbook, the value of which would increase as the years passed. We felt the basic purpose of a year- book was to help stimulate the reader's memories of that year. As a result, we chose not to divide the book into traditional sections. Therefore the book is arranged in four cycles which, at the time, seemed to closely parallel the four years of a college experience. The opening sec- tion is a chronological presentation of activities in which all students, but most especially freshmen, participated. The second section is predominately devoted to the social clubs and their related activities since it was not until the sophomore year that a student could become a part of a social club. The next section contains depart- mental activities and areas of student involvement. It was the junior year when students became actively in- volved in their major fields and often it was only then that they started branching out into other areas of involve- ment. The last major section includes those people who made a significant contribution by excelling in their chosen areas. The faculty and senior class can be found in this section. Homecoming is presented in a special section near the close of the book. We felt that this would be most appropriate because it is a unique part of a col- lege experience and it is of great significance to the alum- ni, who are not an active segment of the college com- munity. Our work on the book in the spring of '73 re- volved around these ideas. Our only measure of success is if this book helps you to remember 1972-73 as the spe- cial year it was; or if this book is more meaningful each time you take it from its shelf, wipe the dust from the cover and relive those moments ih your lifetime which we shared together.

He drove off and as I boarded the train 1 knew he was crying. I sat there as we pulled out of the station and cried like a child because somehow I knew I was leaving and would never live at home again. I returned during the summers while I was in college and I’ve blown through for short visits when we said hello to each other, but I’ve never really gone back until last summer. Long before I reached the old farm, things began to look wrong. Gravel roads had been replaced and many of the old familiar landmarks had vanished. The old house was in ruins. Standing there in the yard surrounded by weeds was a devasting experience. Blank gaping windows seemed to mock me with empty whispers of the laughter that used to be ... of the simple love that made us one ... of the home that would never be again. For even if the buildings had not decayed it would still have been impossible to go home again. 246 258 272 292 302 314 “Home is no longer a place. It is a spirit, a mem- ory, an experience ...” Every fall young men and women put behind them the secure familiarity of home, never to return again. Destined for a place far from the home they love, they enter the confusion of the college campus.
