FO RE WO RD The sunny southland with its balmly breezes, waving palms, golden fruit, and billowy clouds will soon be a memory to many Florida Southern College students. In wintery months of future years they will recall the pleasant, warm afternoons spent in study on the campus lawn, in mid-February ' Likewise remaining but as memories to us all will be the pleasure of college life, the scholastic struggles, the athletic competition. Memories tend to serve as succor of life; when things seem dark, they keep us going until the silvery lining shows again. Mindful of these future memories, the INTERLACHEN staff has attempted to record life at Southrn college as students know it. All pictures in this edition were taken on the campus, with the exception of a few candid scenes, in order that graduates may recall the appearance of the college grounds in 1948, in Florida — Where balmy breezes wave the palm And shattered nerves find a balm. Our ridge-land hills we view witli pride Where citrus flanks our country-side. Great forests of the verdant pine. The grey moss with old oaks entwine And ideal climate here is found, A joy to live the whole year ' round, (Mrs, Ora Arnold)

The President ' s Message The editor of the Interlachen and all of his assistants, including the faculty adviser, can be congratulated on pre- senting us with an attractive publication. Besides showing good taste, it has unity and variety. The publishing of this 1948 Interlachen means that the seniors of this year will leave their Alma Mater to continue work elsewhere. Some will go to graduate school, others whl take up their life ' s work. To each one of them the blessings and good wishes of the college go. They |oin a host of alumni who for years have been reflecting honor and glory on their Alma Mater by their faithful service to God and man- kind. The Juniors and Sophomores will remain an active part of the college. They, with the coming Freshman class, will aid all of us — trustees, faculty, and students — to lead our Florida Southern College into larger fields of learning. With increased facilities for carrying on our task and with a greater determination to seek after the better things of life, we will, together, create here on Hollingsworth Lake a greater institution of learning that will continue to send men and women into society with warm hearts for justice and a clear head to see the good. My best wishes to every student for a good and safe vacation. Yours very truly, Ludd M. Spivey President
