lllffl llf' STUUHUS Une of the greatest benefits of attending college are the friendships we make. We meet new people with new ideas that in turn stimulate us to new thinking. We make conf tacts which influence our entire lives and alter the trend of our lives. Each student at Calvin is unique-his personality is original, his interests are origif nal, and his appearance is original. Yet, all have a common purpose in mind-to be educated. You may think that to say that is superfluous, but it is not. There are many students who regard college attendance merely as a social venture. Of course, we have our social life at Calvin, and a very fine life it isg but over and above that is this matter Draflx In fn Pl1y.ri1'i.vl.v .-2 1 I f v l .

The average student at Calvin works hard to get through school, and in order to profit by the investment he makes for his education, he exerts a diligent effort to maintain a good scholastic record. A tour through our building will aver the industry of the students. In the quiet confines of the library they pour over their assign' ments.

The morning hours are much the same for all: classes, chapel at 9:40, and an occasional free period. Our chapel ex' ercises are simple but inspiring. They consist of hymn singing, short addresses by faculty members, announcements by the President, and frequently a guest speaker. Wednesday mornings are al' lotted for student chapel.

The student's life is a full one and rightly so, for his college years should be the most advantageous and enjoyable of his life.
