dedication It isn ' t often in our busy daily routines of classes, tests, reports, social and athletic activities, studies, meetings, and other events, that we have time to really tell you.

Even when we come home for holidays, we are likely to be running around with old friends, visiting, partying, and many other things that take our time, and then we forget to say those little things that we had meant to say. However, there are so many times when thoughts do run through our minds and we reflect on what you have done to enable us to attend college to broaden our minds and become better citizens. Yes, maybe it is late at night when everything is quiet, after a serious chapel program, or during a lecture that we think about your sacrifices. Some of the things you have given us can be measured. It is easy to compute how much money you have spent on tuition, books, room, and travel. It is possible to determine how much of your time, precious time, that has been spent doing things for us that make it feasible for us to be here. Much more difficxdt to calcidate are the intangible things you have contributed: the inspiration that you gave us which made us desire an education; the encouragement that you have given, in person and in your letters, when we found the going rough; the faith that you have evidenced at all times; your constant interest in every small thing that we have done; these and many others are the things that actually mean so much. Because of your sacrifices for ns, we proudly dedicate the 1953 INDIAN to you OUR PARENTS. Your sons and daughters
