■■ i -756. CLASSES Every classroom and laboratory on the Campus is oc- cupied daily by Catawbans who enter there in search of intel- lectual knowledge, physical and civic training. The major part of the student ' s college life is centered in the classroom, for within its walls the student receives cultural and vocational training which fit him for a happy and useful life beyond his college portals.

-f. Senior Class Graduation from college, although it is the culmination of four years ' achievement and often the fulfillment of ambitions of much longer duration, is always attended with a certain sadness. The senior, whether he likes or dislikes college, is alwa3 - s reluctant to write finis to the log-book of his academic career. But commencement is not the closing of a book; the word itself implies a beginning — the title page of a new and more vital volume. The college graduate of 1943 emerges into an extraordinarily uncertain and perplexing world, more so than in any previous year. In saying goodbye to our seniors, then, let us urge them to look back on their days at Catawba, not with nostalgic regret, but with inspiration to meet and surmount the problems and difficulties of our chaotic planet.
