Foreword Activities, personalities, and experiences are threads which have been interwoven into intricate designs mak- ing the colorful tapestry which represents an entire year at Eastern Mennonite College. In the 1955 SHENANDOAH we are presenting a miniature of this tapestry by exhibit- ing close-ups of its designs. God has been Master-Designer directing the weav- ing of the threads which, although often imperfect, have been worked together by Him into a thing of symmetry and grace. We present the reproduction of this tapestry with the prayer that it will bring glory to Him.

In Sincere Dedication He possesses the very spirit of E.M.C., and no won- der. For thirty-five years he has worked with her and for her until E.M.C. seems to possess the spirit of him as well. A peep into these thirty-five years presents a kaleido- scopic view of mathematics, music, English, the stars, and physics, all mixed together, but melting into a har- monious design that portrays a colorful life. Tenderly he has fathered the Journal, the Weather Vane, and the SHENANDOAH. From his prayer-dipped pen have flowed words which have changed and ennobled many lives. Then with characteristic versatility he has written music and directed choruses, taught calculus and expounded physics, led students down the Milky Way and initiated them into a friendly acquaintance with the stars. As a tribute to his devoted service to the church and to Eastern Mennonite College, the SHENANDOAH staff of 1954-55 dedicates this volume to M. T. Brackbill.
