not nuts-we missed Bertrand. Oh there were lots of rea- sons we thought we wanted to come back, but we really didn't know how much this last semester would mean to us. Spirit seemed to grow deeper. We were a little more content to stay here on weekends! ltls funny, but without even knowing it, we had made Bertrand a real home. Saying good-bye is. going to be hard. lt's like a family splitting up: even though we'll be living together falmost all of us anywayj , we are leaving the old sod, so to speak, where we began a new life. We're leaving behind the one a.m. picnics in the bookstore, the water fights in the pink bathroomg we're leaving behind the sun-porch that was completed in mid-winter, the hot plate, and the two out- of-order T.V.'s. But I think most of all WC,1'C leaving be- hind that certain someone who the Holy Spirit guided to the oddest places at the oddest times. We'll miss her be- cause she cared. It will be sad on Friday because we won't hear UGOOD NIGHT, LADIES, but 1'ather uGoodbye. SUZANNE STELLA '69 fErlitor's note: Bertrand was abeginning, and leaving it was the end of one phase at Dominican. The story was reprinted because the feelings expressed are still valid. Now we are leaving a whole school - friends, teachers, buildings. We are leaving a way of life and it is hard to believe that we will not return in three months. Be- cause somehow, a place gets to you, often in spite of yourself, just as Bertrand got to 47 girls in our fresh- man year. Saying goodbye is going to be hard. j I77
