We first see Earlham through others' eyes. Our first picture is false. Our impressions are colored by the catalog, by our parents, by our friends. We allow ourselves to accept labels, we generalize too soon. And after the first impressions fade, after the catalog is debunked, we write our own version, paint our own distorted picture, make our own heavy pronouncements, our own labels. We continue in this rut unless by chance we are awakened. Seldom do we look inside, seldom do we ask ourselves what we are and what we have done to make Earlham what it is. .Earlham is each of us. We discover it as we discover ourselves, little by little, year by year. Our view of the school changes as we change, it grows only as we grow. Our final picture is the sum of our impressions, the sum of our knowledge, the sum of our feelings. It is four years of our lives.
