was full of fears, anxiety and just the right touch of excitement. Many of us knew one or two people and no more. We were so far from the security of home and this was our first real step out of the nest. It was either grow up or be a flop. At times the line between the two seemed very fine, but somehow we made it. For many it was just through their first year and for many more it was through their college career.

Pandora ' s Box Where do we lie — In the box of Pandora? Is Elon awry Like the box of Pandora? Pandora, your Box is astir! Like snakes in a basket, Much is obscure Of that which occurs. Like out-of-door camping Or in-the-pool swimming Or unnoticed vamping Or fast frisbee skimming! While others may drive. Toil and deserve. Some will arrive To primp and observe. What else will the Box reveal Other than on-campus life? What does it conceal About student life? Aren ' t Bill ' s and the Lighthouse An integral part? (Fraternity gath ' rings Are only a start.) And about the studies And buddies And teachers And preachers; Are they not, too, a part? Some live on Campus, Some live away; And all give support In some kind of way. Out of the Box leap Doers and goers. Dancers and showers — Twelve-hundred deep! There are limitless things That one can find If one will only look With an all-open mind. Chance is the means While change is the way In all Elon ' s scenes For needs of Today . Pandora ' s Box — won ' t close with This year; For it ' s sure to be noted that Today ' s needs are not here.
