The end of the beginning. A Year in Review Fr om the first strain of Pomp and Circumst- ance, till the last tassel had been moved to the right side of the last mortar-board, the audience sat with due patience and warmth. They watched close- ly as one by one, year-old seniors became new doc- tors, lawyers, nurses, newspapermen, and so on down the rapidly growing list of professions. The four, six, maybe eight years that had kept them on the Hilltop were now in the past. Their conversa- tions on Thomism, taxes and tea have now been ex- changed for remember-whens. Remember the hand I held, the band that played at the Prom? . . . Remember the time we were caught in Jim ' s? . . . Remember the years that carried us through the orbits of student life at Creighton University? This was the beginning as well as the end. Just as the seniors were safe now in the wide, wide world, so, too, the stately juniors became the grave old seniors. And now began a new cycle, a new orbit. The orbit circled around the Student Union, the Ad Building, St. John ' s, the dorms, and the various schools. The students were fuelled with a little learning and a little love mixed proportionately with their desires and hopes. The year officially started with Summer Ses- sion. Through the balmy months of June and July a reduced number of students plunged through Eng- lish Literature, struggled with chemistry and the writings of St. Thomas and Henri Renard, S.J. The doors of Deglman Hall were opened, not by a guy from New York or a kid from California, but by the Sisters of Charity, the Dominican Sisters and nuns from many other orders. The Student Center held the usual charm for the summer students as it did for the regular students — coffee, sandwiches and Irma. In the corner of the lounge, people could congregate and watch TV. Fr. Miller was in his of- fice, and all Avas well with the Student Center. Summer School ... of Catholic Action.

The lull before the storm. Fall came with a gust of wind, some new faces and Registration. Tables were set up in the gym, along with a public address system. The priests and lay faculty met as forms were conveniently placed on the tables in the halls and corridors to add to the confu- sion. At 8:30 on the morning of September 15th, the first of 2800 students filed into the gym. Cries of What am I doing? Ive got to get into History I-J, and But, Father — I ' m working filled the empty spaces. A hoarse cry would occasionally break through the noise with Theology 20-F, as in frustra- tion, is now closed. Once the student got through the IBM line, he could look forward to an hour or two of forms. Then on to the check-out table.
