Carp from north campus Y V- 142 I And now we have come to the end ot our Earlham journey. We have worked and played, and now that it's over, the more anxious moments of college life fade away, and a certain nos- talgia surrounds what remains of the lives and loves of the class of '47, We have left Carp with books in hand, for the last time, and in parting murmur to its ivy-clad walls, Farewell .

Prexy . Last year we noticed a tall gentleman with a wonderful wholesomeness about him, visit- ing Earlhom, He walked about the campus, ate in the dining room, and visited the com- mons. ln no time at all we became acquainted with our new president, Throughout the year he has gained our admiration and confidence by getting our angle of the situation. What did we think needed immediate attention at Earlham? Soon, Bundy received a complete homifying process. Its battered walls were painted, its reception rooms opened Cto the ladies? and its rooms were given a transfusion of new furni- ture. Mom and Pop Bailey added the tin- ishing touches. Biology students found their laboratories and classrooms painted, Lighting was modernized. What couldn't be accom- plished immediately went into the aim of the one million dollar building drive, Tom Jones talked with students and agreed that the juke box, boothes and candy machines needed a new home, That was the beginning of our Student Union where the soda fountain calls weary students to pause. These improvements and alterations would be of little value if not accompanied by neces- sary individual adjustment. Inward improve- ments and alterations were as necessary as the material ones, Along this line the new chapel system was devised, Student Govern- ment was re-organized, and new staff mem- bers were added, Mrs. Jones brought with her a true spirit of kindness and hospitality. Student groups have been delighted by refreshments served at meetings. Indeed, we all were all cheered by the open house on Thanksgiving Day. These are the things which have earned for our new president the respect, confidence and love of Earlham students. Page eleven
