Looking back . To some it has been a four year ride on the bullshit ex- press; to others it has been something more - Frustration, Challenge, Boredom, Learning . . . the list could go on forever. We all have had different reactions, feelings, and impressions. For some these have been years of involvement - work- ing to change the curfew hours, the alcohol policy, the min- imum requirements; or expressing dissent in a war which burned our consciences; or working on the Chapel Council; or. . . For others, it has been a life of apathy and comments such as this college will never changel' or who cares about the war, my draft number is . Academies? To some it was just a word void of meaning. To others, it meant something more - experiences such as the Harrisburg Urban Semester, long hours spent on term papers and studying, the reward of an A and the satisfac- tion of knowing you deserve it. Each of us will leave Gettysburg with different personal memories. But we will all leave with one common denomi- nator, knowledge a not only knowledge acquired in the classroom, but knowledge about others, about life and, perhaps most importantly, about ourselves. Upon leaving Gettysburg we should have a better idea of who we are and what we want. Now the question is - Where do we go from here? Richard Zuraw 14

x We leave: part of ourselves. We take: good times, T-shirts, songs, friendships, knowledge, memories, Photographs. But are these pictures a tenth of the thing? Or even a hundredth? Are they anything without picnics on the battlefield, a toast to friends at the Pub, 8 am. classes in Glatfelter, frat brothers playing football in the mud, Gettysburg? Oh! But we have got all that too. It is exposed forever on the sensitive emulsion sheets of our Minds. GETTYSBURG COLLEGE MIC.
