I. All Through the Year . . . Elmhursl College presents a different face I students, to instructors, and to ad- ministrators. Elmhursl presents vet another face, nature ' s face, symbolizing the growth and change oi people throughout college and all of life. In the fall leaves tumble down helter skelter toward the earth from parent branches. I r hardlv reach tin- ground before huge white fluffs of snow are seen slowly setting, seeming!) from eternity, and into oblivion anion- thousands of other snowflakes; vvintei has come. No sooner has the -now settled, it seems, than screen leaves push eagerlv upward: suddenly, it is spring. In fall, like the leaves, students and faculty -tail out for theii new home, school, to learn more aiM.nl their world, about fellow men. I pon arrival, almost immediately the process ol change hegins with renewed vigor, as it has in years past, and will continue for countless future years. Like snowflakes countless papers fl to and fro. each different, each special. Jusl a- suddenly a- spring. students and faculty emerge triumphant, a year older, a year wiser, changed from strangers of Septembei into the collegiate family looking forward to graduation in June or a future June. All through the year, then, i- out theme, presenting the ston ol that change taking place between tall and spring. 1
