MOUND 78 This hour I tell things in confidence, I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you. The older I get the more I feel the necessity to have moments alone as well as moments with others. It seems that a harmony of me is the only way I ' ve found to achieve a harmony with people. Although I am not a hermit, I enjoy peaceful solitude, when I can get it all together — if only for a moment — and tie a ribbon or two of realization. Ah! a harmony of me — a prerequisite to finding my harmony with people. -

H armony: that unexpected moment of realization To everyone there comes a moment of realization. unexpected but welcomed. Mine came one day after endless hours of concentration in biology lab. I was walking from the dreaded Hunt Haught Hall to the comfort and security of the dorm, when I looked up and for what seemed like the first time in my busy day. There, coming off the hill, were literally hundreds of unfamiliar faces, all coming toward me. I was shocked as I stood looking, realizing suddenly that I knew not one of these people. I became aware of the fact that I had been going from class to class every day for almost an entire year, passing the same people, yet knowing only my little group from the dorm. This new experience didn ' t frighten me. It made me realize that I wasn ' t home anymore, and I wasn ' t going to high school with the same crowd. College brought a new group of people, but we all seemed to be doing the same thing, sticking together, so that only the names were changed. This is when I began to realize that college, life in the dorm, seeing new faces each day and smiling to say hi! all go together to create a harmony within oneself. It ' s a harmony of me a harmony of people.
