2 We Dedicate the I 968-69 Collage to THE MEN OF THE SIXTIES To conflict and challenge the men of the sixties add hope and promise. Exploration into space and sea, experimentation in politics and government, revolution in religion and education--these have been the results of action on the part of our think- ers. Some have died for their giving; others live on to give more. Let the seventies bear witness to the greatness of the men of the sixties- -living and dead. 3 CONTENTS FACULTY seniors t NDERCLASSMEN activities FACULTY SISTER OLIVE LOUISE DALLAVIS , M.M.

Bother. ) Those two bothers will have to rhyme with each other Bother. The fact is this is more difficult than I thought I ought (Very good indeed) I ought To begin again, But it is easier To stop. 40 Judy Johnson 41 Mary Jane King Clouds are not the cheeks of angels, you know. They ' re only clouds. Friendly sometimes, but you can never be sure. If I had longer arms, I ' d push the clouds away, Or make them hang above the water somewhere else. But I ' m just a man who needs and wants Mostly things he ' ll never have Looking for that thing that is hardest to find-- Himself. I ' ve been going a long time now Along the way I ' ve learned some things You have to make the good times yourself Take the little times, and make them big times And save the times that are all right for the ones that aren ' t so good I ' ve never been able to push the clouds away by myself Help me Please Pushing the Clouds Away taken from THE SEA by Rod McKuen 42 Mary K.

It is either or, But never both. Sometimes time is light And flies swiftly away, With hardly a backward glance Or departing whisper. Sometimes it is so heavy It thuds out each second, Walking more and more slowly Until it needs a push. Which is it to be for me? Is time to rule in seconds, Or in years, Or merely in silence? Is time to mean a stopwatch, Or a church -bell chime, or a toast On New Year ' s Eve? No. It is all these, But it is also more. Time is that which is to be filled To the brim without overflowing. Time is the great gift: The hope of the future, The love of the past, The engagement of the present. Time is possibility, Endlessly.

Wonderment gives rise to question and insight; man ' s doubt in the knowledge he has attained gives rise to critical examination and clear certainty; his awe and sense of forsakenness lead him to inquire into himself. taken from Karl Jaspers ' book WAY TO WISDOM 46 What ' s the best thing in the world? June -rose by May-dew impearled; Sweet south-wind, that means no rain; Truth, not cruel to a friend; Pleasure, not in haste to end; Beauty, not self-decked and curled Till its pride is over-plain; Light, that never makes you wink; Memory, that gives no pain; Love, when, so, you ' re loved again.
