I met a seer. He held in his hands The Book of Wisdom. “Sir,” I addressed him, “Let me read.” “Child—” he began. “Sir,” I said, “Think not that I am a child, For already I know much Of that which you hold. Aye, much.” He smiled. Then he opened the book And held it before me.— Strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind. Stephen Crane 15

I stand amazed at the sight of this grand maze. Before me are the many paths I can choose to take or pass on by. Each direction is unique in its own way. Which shall I travel?

Foreword Aristotle said that the nature of man is the desire to know. In our seeking for this knowledge we must ob- tain, we sometimes find ourselves at a road block, but we always manage to break through and even if we must stumble along the way, we never give up the search. This year the staff of the 1977-1978 REVELEER has tried to capture the many moods of joy and sadness in the lives of the students here at Gaston College. Although the task has not been an easy one, all of us have contributed our best efforts to seek out more of what the students feel as they ex- perience the crossing of one bridge onto another. Life is a series of bridges and we must cross them all to reach our ideal goal. We are all aware of the dif- ficulties we encounter as we travel the many highways of everyday life. We never know if we’ll make it to the next bridge safely or if we’ll be stalled somewhere along the way. But we must do all we possibly can to get to the bridge that lies ahead because after it is crossed we’ll be on “the other side” looking back at all the roads and bridges of laughter and tears and we can make the changes that are needed. It is our lives and our choice — to build better bridges or to burn the ones behind us. Jo Avery l I
