This 1959 Elms is meant to bring to mind not only a picture of this past year ' s activities, but also and perhaps most important of all, this Elms is meant to retain for the student a lasting story of life at Elm- hurst College, no matter what the year may be. There- fore, the theme of this annual is one designed towards interpreting four years on this campus as seen through the eyes of any senior. In developing the story of an Elmhurst student, his life is seen as a series of nine phases. To begin with, even before enrollment, a prospective student in- quires about the college usually through the office of admissions, and contacts are made with the deans and the business office. After arrival here, from the first day and even until the last moment, he con- tinues to seek information and help from admini- strative personnel. Therefore, this first phase is We Asked. after asking, a student listens, not only to advice but to instructional material. The people he listens to most avidly are his professors in class or conferences. Thus this division is labeled We Listened. Along with his courses he includes num- erous activities outside of the classroom. Catering to the desire for culture and the intellectual development of oneself for a profession, a student spends his time studying in the library so that he may do himself academic justice. He further develops himself by at- tending lectures, discussions, and joining groups re- lated to professional interests. It becomes necessary then to say We Supplemented. One still finds time to join other groups which develop his creative ability. Many opportunites avail themselves in the fields of art, music, writing, speech, theatre, and student govern- ment. Each of these areas can allow a student to bring himself recognition and honor. Because of his achievements, a student summarizes still another phase as We Produced. Aside from the intellectual aspect, a student also needs spiritual development. Elmhurst College offers such opportunities through- out the year in weekly assemblies and vespers, in a week assigned to illustrate practical religious ex- periences, in special candle light services, and in the construction of a new chapel. Thus, a student also says We Worshiped. One likewise needs physical development so the phase We Played is included. In this division one sees the athletic activities on campus in which team cooperation as well as physical ability is needed. Still there are other times when a student just wants to take it easy and enjoy himself with others. Thus, we have a section of purely social activities at which We Relaxed and a section in which underclassmen are featured so that one can identify those with whom We Lived. After pro- gressing through four years of college, a senior ex- presses still anoth er phase, We Graduated. It seems, therefore, that a student can develop his mental, physical, spiritual, and social needs through the activities on our campus. This annual proposes to illustrate such a story.
