to College Aijplicalion. ilujjlicalioii. inccliiaiion. niedicalion — al- though tour years ha e gone by. thtrt isn ' t a senior who doesn ' t remember that first, irightening week at P.C.W. Ideas and attitudes ha e since changed and the wide-eyed excitement ol freshman week h as tinned nito the ghi s). thoopy-eyed exhaus- tion of tutorial deadline day. .Any senior vill admit that whh progress comes change, btu there is one phase of Chatham lite that has remained the same o er the past foiu years and probably fiuther back than tliat. Registration dav is an experience whicli no one can forget. Facidty adxisors lioUling cotn ' t at long ro vs of tables, brightly colored department banners catching the eye of each befuddled student and the section closed sign on the tally board are experiences no physically til young s ' oman voidtl vant to miss. So I came to college to gain a bit of knowledge. That first registration chn is the begiiuiing ol tour years ot a search and perhaps a struggle for knowledge. There are a great many factors which come under this heading, academics constituting the major part, but there is much more. We ha e seen, we have discussed, and we ha e sliared: if s ' e ha e acc[uired nothing else, we take away one ery important phase ol knowledge: we have learned how to learn.

chapel Bell: Chapel bells ring out again, and troni all o er ihe campus Falk ' s all-seeing eagle ' atches Chatham girls making their way toivard om ' Ne v England editice. Sometimes the bells announce a re- ligious meditation hour, sometimes an all-college S.G.A. meeting or some other intellectual experience. The Religious Life Connnillee, heeding a highly posi- tive student response to a series ol lect- mes ) members ol the Protestant. Cath- olic and Jewish clergy in 19, i7, planned a similar series ior l ' J58 vhich vvas met with e(|ual appreciation and was follow- ed by many midnight hotns of informal discussion in the dorms. In conjunction with a series of tele ision programs, the college brought such men as 1. ' . Smith. Lewis Mimdord. and Edward Weeks to the chapel aiul to luncheon and discus- sion periods afterwards. Hearing ideas and discussing them Avith men of this stature are memories vhich ill not fade. ' e will remember the chapel as one ol the cornerstones in our li ' es here at Chatliam. ' jSSfS ' ,
