f f k um i . . . HOME ' Perhaps the most difficuh undertaking in life is to bid one ' s friends fare- well. No words can express it, no literature reveal it, there is simply a tightening of the muscles in one ' s throat, an understanding look of the eyes, and a firm clasp of hands. And so we part, Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, Faculty — all. Some to the fighting front, others to the factory, all to the side of our threatened nation. In years to come our love and appreciation for our Alma Mater will increase continually as we tuni these pages and recall the wonderful opportunities that were ours. This year brought forth a series of incidents of international importance affecting us all; many minds have become confused and uncertain, many dreams have been temporarily placed aside, and yet as a result there has emerged one great blessing, we stand together loving our nation and willing to give our lives gladly to uphold the ideals of democracy which have become deeply imbedded within us as Elon students.

Some day when I am alone filled wit i th fci nse of uncertainty and re- sponsibility which no one escapes entirely I ' lli g t his annual off the shelf and, after carefully dusting its cover, se(SgJnTyself in my easy chair and turn to this section to dream and muse aS gretuni as a student of Elon College. Here I will find my former frien ls and classmates; here I will discover what is meant by the statement, not all is learned in books. What a grand feeling it will be to remove my spectacles, to close my tired eyes, and to recall the familiar scenes which pass before me.
