I Early morning quiet, deserted halls between classes, a walk in the early evening. . . all brought a sense of repose and of rest to the busy world we lived in. I to From the Y you will take with you dreams of the quiet places, for your memories will include the times when you sat in an empty classroom, or the solo walks to the botany pond or around the canal. These moments were yours along. It may have been a rest- ful hour of study in a secluded spot or an afternoon spent in the library in extensive research. Whatever it may have been, these moments wall remain vivid in your memory as a time of meditation. Those who have learned the value of silence have found a deep spirituality as they watched the sun set over Utati Lake or observed its first rays on Mount Timpanogos in the early morning. Those who know not the value of silence are missing a fullness of spirit which comes only to the few who will take time to meditate. Study, meditation, dreams, and prayer are elements of the quiet mood which are among your memories. MOST ANY QUIET PLACE will do for studying on the BYU campus. Let then your mind claim the actions that you have performed here at BYU this year. Let your heart feel again, let your eye again be- hold, and let your ear hear the many sounds, for here are the faces, the classes, the dances, the parties, the work and the play which went to make the year 1956-57 a memorable one at this great University. These are your personal mementos. This is your personal record. Take from it the ideas and monuments you wish to remember and store them in the treasury of your mind. For here are recorded. . . Your memories. 18
