M ll Reynolds, Ferrero, Freebairn, Parke, M. Porfer, F. M Growing up is a process fhaf occurs af Earlham fo one group of people every four years as surely as big May Day or measles epidemics. This year fhe class of '43 characferized fhe resulfs of fhis ageles process. If mighf be said fhaf in almosf every phase of our life we progress from green obscurify fo blessed mafurify buf as seniors in college we are especially aware of fhe feeling of smug safisfacfion, yef anficipafion fhaf comes fo us. Few of us have been exposed fo fhe full and alive experience of four years af Earlham, as shelfered and peaceful as if may be, wifhouf leaving a liffle of ourselves and emerging wifh more self-confidence, a sense of responsibilify and fhe essen- fial affifude of cooperafion. Qur firsf year leff us as rafher dubious survivors of fhe unusually powerful precedenf commif- fees and wifh many new friends. We were enfhusiasm personified. Many of us mef people from ofher parfs of fhe counfry for fhe firsf fime and we began fo feel guife cosmopolife. When we were Sophomores we made noise-good clean and loud noise which irrifafed our el- ders. Problems in campusfry were our main worry wifh big May Day running a close second. Lulcens, B.
