The College Seniors It was with the anticipation of a mountain climber that we, the class of 1950, ap- proached Commencement Day. There was Christian fellowship along the trail provided by special meetings, school days out, socials, chapel talks, and our own class prayer meet- ings. Always this peak loomed large before us. It is that for which we had been straining every nerve. We have arrived. Have we attained the very highest pinnacle in the range of life? No, we are not deluded. We have received our diplomas, hut will not sit down and believe the job done—that there are no higher peaks to climb. To act thus would be a dishonor to our class, our Alma Mater, and our Lord. Graduation Day is no more than an observation point from which we view still loftier peaks whose tops are lost in the clouds. It is like a steppingstone to greater tasks. The trail behind us has hardened our muscles, sharpened our vision, whetted our desires, and trained us in the skill of climbing that we may be strong for the slopes ahead that lead us unto God. —LOWF.LL NISSLEY, President. |24|
