Slglitl... Those sights beloved to man remain ever in the vision of his memory. When, in years to come, reminiscences of Wiiham and Mary form an integral part of our thoughts on early adulthood, we shall re- member . . . The crisp, clear autumn . . . golden and russet leaves that overshadowed patterned walks and carved an unfor- gettable picture in our hearts. The first snow of winter . . . reflected diamond-white in the glow of candlelight from Wren Building windows. The library . . . shafted rays of sunlight that cast their shadows over long shelves of books that formed a major part of our learning experience at William and Mary. The dormitory ... a small, inadequate room immeasurably dear, because here we grew — we learned, we talked, we thought, we dreamed . . .

SowmU At William and Mary we talked, we laughed, we cheered; we whispered, shouted, sighed, groaned — and we listened. In our memory certain sounds will continue to ring out through the years, and time will serve only to sweeten their clarity. In retrospect we shall hear again and again . . . The five o ' clock chimes tolling the end of another meaningful day on campus . . . The exaulted shouts and disappointed groans telling of another foot- ball game hard-fought . . . Whispered words of love, more beautiful to us because even then they foretold unforgettable words yet to be spoken . . . the William and Mary choir with voices raised in concert . . . the Wren clock striking another hour, another class . . . the male blend of fraternity songs reverberating in frosty or balmy air. Voices raised in song, in laughter, in argument, in high-pitched conversation . . . Voices lowered in shared confidences, in whisperings, in soft crying . . . The sounds of the emotions, the places, the people — the unforgettable parts of William and Mary.
