A DAILY WAT Under a maze of bookse botany notes and bunches of discarded theme paper emerged the student. Labs. classes and homework became a daily way of life. The long quiet walk by the lake to the classroom buildings became. longer and colder as summer changed to fall and fall became winter. Classes too seemed to be endlessly long as students remembered the exams they studied for until the early hours of the morning.

OF LIFE Benevolent profs became ogros as the Iirst tests and D slip time approached. Each student promised himself he would work a little more, try a little harder and do a lot better before any grades would appear in his mailbox. Social events often were limited to a small portion of the studentjs time, and each one looked forward to weekends, sleep, and maybe a dance. The carefree Spirit of Carthage which Fllled the cam- pus in September took on a more serious, mature facade.
