of the freshman attempting to raise his grades. or that of a senior choosing his field of service? The idea is to epitomize, to symbolize, to gain a perspective. Instead of trying to reach around our object with an inadequate definition. we attempt to pin down the idea by abstracting a representative element. That is what has been attempted in some small degree throughout this book. An effort has been made, not so much to show the official, the formal, the solemn, and the methodical, but rather the usual, the spontan- eous, the accustomed, and the habitual. These are the details that will recall to the minds of this year's Covenanters--as portraits and organiza- tional directories never will-a year that is unique. That is the only way to tell about 1961 and 1962. But there is suggested here a concept that goes beyond that of graphic expression. Out of this jumbled milieu of events and people and situa- tions that we call life at Covenant, there must be some fastening point, a condensation, a unifying element. There must be some concept that expresses in a wary that no other concept will what this is all about. Indeed, there is. The abstract drawing on the cover of this year's annual is only another way of stating that every one of our scattered human efforts finds meaning only as it relates to the work of Christ on the cross, and his Holy Spirit in our lives. The school hymn, Mary D. Iames's All for lesus, is to every Covenanter a familiar expression of the same idea. All for Iesusl All for Iesusl All my being's ransomed powers: All my thoughts and words and doings, All my days and all my hours. The practical, everyday life realization of such a concept is itself the epitome of that time ideally invested at Covenant.
