Itls trusting that any advice she may give us is done so unselfishly and with only the thoughts of our future and well-being in mind. It,s realizing that during those vacations when welre home with thoughts of books and classes far behind, she can never go anywhere or do anything without first thinking, Maybe my students would enjoy this, toof, -and then taping conversations, buying slides and colorful pictures so that we can all later experience the beauty of a Grecian urn or the splendor of a windswept shore captured centuries ago on the canvas of some great artist. It,s in appreciation to herfor opening up the world to us, for exposing us to the literature and art and philosophies which have shaped this universe, for widening our horizons in order that we should see past our own limita- tions that we, the stab' of the 1973 Warrior, dedicate this yearbook to Miss Nancy Lee Mack.

Presidents Message PRESIDENT 'S ME SSA GE I 9 73 PEACE AND GOOD WILL There is no way to peace, peace is the way. 'l A. J. Muste In the Book of Isaiah there is a significant prophecy: They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. ll From the Prince of Peace we learn from the SERMON ON THE MOUNT, one of the greatest guides forfullness of living for every human being, there is the key verse, Blessed are the Peace Makers for theirs is the Kingdom of Cod. Mankind must travel the peace roadsg otherwise, there will be strU'e and destruction of the abundant earth. Bacone College stands for the peace road in its message and mission through its people relationships, its curricula, its activities, its services, and its dedicated objectives founded in prayer and continued in faith. No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have a beginning. Our American way of life is the result of contributions from many cultures. We will grow spiritually stronger and richer, not by shutting off some of the contributors but rather by accepting them into our society. Today the dominant society in the United States is deeply indebted to the AMERICAN INDIAN, a people poor in things but rich in spirit, for the many ways in which they have so greatly enriched life as we know it today. Bacone College has students and stafffrom many lands, races, and cultural backgrounds. We need to build bridges not walls, between our many cultures, and this bridge can come only through love and understanding. Let us help our LOVE to grow as one of the fruits ofpeace and good will. Peace of mind and soul comes from respectfor Cod in nature. The American Indian expresses so well the healing and health power of Cod in SPIRIT in the TEMPLE OF GOD, his BODY, and in NATURE as described in the Symphony Iroquolhnv: Gather the life of the streams and forests. Cather the leaves of the Spring and Autumn. Cather the dust of the mountains and valleys, Dust of the rocks and mud of the marshes: Cather the snows and the rains and the breezes, Cather the earth and the sun and the heavens. Cather the ways and the wisdom ofanimals, Cather the song and beauty of birds! Mix with the roots of the basswood and sassafras And with the clean air flowing through the pines, Dip, with an acorn cup into woodland springs, And drink, for you drink the most marvelous medicine.
