Cliff Spencer Beginning Comes at the end xcitement and anticipation govern the lives of study- weary seniors as the final month of school passes. Parents, friends, and rela- tives begin making plans to attend the final ceremonies that officially end the seniors' college years. Guys begin looking for the perfect girl to escort to their last Junior - Senior Banquet, while the girls impatiently wait for Mr. Right to phone far enough in advance to find the perfect evening dress. Last year's banquet set the mood for the final events. With A Touch of Class the latest fashions paraded down the steps of the Missouri National Guard Armory as 25 couples were presented at Coming Out. More class appeared at Kimberling City Inn for the banquet as Jim Adams, Carol Davidson, and Bruce Mc- Clellan, a'll seniors, provided dinner'music as a string ensem- ble. The night brought its own touch as Chris Christian enter- tained and ministered to the casual group gathered in the Evangel Temple Barn. A week later, caps and gowns hung in closets, on ironing boards, and across chairs waiting for the last wrinkle to be removed. In the meantime, the last papers finally fled the students' exhausted hands. Projects were finally returned from the teachers' missing files. Grades became a thing of the past. Suddenly there is nothing more important to do than iron the stilI-wrinkled gowns. It was imperative that every wrinkle be gone before the final college event happened. Klaude Kendrick, the first president of the college, ad- dressed the soon-to-be grad- uates during last year's com-. mencement. The seniors wait- ed patiently, knowing that in a matter of minutes they would begin their start in the real world. After the awaited hand- shake with President Spence, sadness and exhilerating joy mingled as graduates prepared to leave, never to return as students. The end had come, and with it a new beginning.6 Randy Quackenbush, senior, and Shelly Madsen, freshman, take time out for refreshments at the junior- senior banquet.
