I'I have never had what I consider an unworthy instructor. I feel that those who gra- duate with a major in English are wor- thy of the degree. Therefore, I offer my personal thanks to all the English in- structors who have played a valuable part in my education. Susan Albright holding a particular office in a club or organization.

HThere was really no desire on my part to ever go anywhere else besides APSU, re- marks Susan. II have enjoyed my four years here and I am happy to say the education I received while working in the business department has been as worthwhile as the education I paid for. HI heard someone say once, Educa- tion is not only preparation for life; Education is Iife.' I fully agree. After graduation Jane Allen plans to become a traveling saleswoman.

Looking back over her four years at AP, Jane feels the most unforgettable character she met was A.J. Taylor. HI have never met a person who enjoys teaching more. He was the epitomy of an excellent teacher and advisor. But his exams were not to be taken light- Iy. Jane's hometown is CIarksviIIe.

APSU students visit United Nations and Statue of Liberty on spring break by Alice Spurgeon A group which 'included interested Austin Peay students, faculty and oth- ers departed from Nashville on March 15, to tour New York City as a part of an annual fine arts trek. Dr. Thayer Beach. an English professor, was the organizer of the trip. The Taft Hotel Uocated at 7th Ave. and 50th Streeti was where the group lodged during the visit. All were excited about looking around the Big Apple., as New York City is frequently called. Max Hochstetler and Olen Bryant planned many morning and early after- noon museum adventures which in- cluded the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Muse- um and Guggenheim. This provided leisure afternoons for shopping at Macy's and Saks' Fifth Ave. Other trips taken were to the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty, Green- wich Village and Soho, a region of art galleries and lofts for many of New York's artists. ' The theatre plays attended by the group were Neil Simon's California Suite; Sly Fox, starring George C. Scott; The Cherry Orchard and A Cho- rus Line. The group reveled in the New York City night life, which swings to a different beat. Time went by too fast, but Saturday, March 19 came and the art and drama group departed after stuffing towels and ashtrays into suitcases for souve- nirs.

Grace Bonecutter Antioch, Tenn. is the hometown of Paula Kay Batson. Her major is busi- ness administration. Paula holds mem- bership in Phi Chi Theta, Golden Hearts of Sigma Phi Epsilon and the American Marketing Association. Paula thinks there are several rea- sons for Austin Peay's growth. tlThe winning basketball team has brought a little fame to APSU. I believe that is what first brings the college to the at- tention of high school students looking for a college. Then when he looks deep- er into the school, he sees the advan- tages of a small school, the high aca- demic standards and the increasing so- cial activities available for students. Grace Minor Bonecutter holds mem- bership in Phi Chi Theta, Laurel Wreath Society, Little Sigmas, Chi Omega So- rority and the University Choir. Her major field is business administration. Grace is very interested in fraternity life. HFraternity life has been a valuable growing and learning experience during my college years. I have found that in- dividuality has the opportunity to flour- ish among friends who love and re- spect you for being you, and who don't expect you to conform to their way of thinking. My greatest memories of col- lege will include each and every one of my sisters and all of the activities we Diane Brown have enjoyed through our fraternal bond. Working for the Civil Service Com- missioner and starting on her MBA are Patricia Bridentstine's plans after graduation. Patricla's hometown is London, Ohio, and her major is busi- ness administration. Patricia feels AP's growth can be contributed partly to the nearness of Ft. Campbell and to the many degrees APSU has to offer. .After graduation, Diana Moore Brown plans to go to Monterey, Calif., to study Chinese. Business administra- tion and marketing is her major. Diana holds membership in the Marketing Club and Phi Chi Theta Business Fra- ternity. HPerhaps the greatest thing that Austin Peay - or any university e offers is a feeling of friendship; a feeling that you are not a stranger. There is a feeling of camaraderie among the stu- dents that makes everyone feel like a part of the university scene and not a piece of the furniture. If this feeling can be maintained throughout Austin Peay's growth periods, then the uni- versity will retain its own unmistakable flair. Let's not become strangers, re- marks Diana.
