We returned from summer vacation this year eagerly awaiting residence in famed Allen Hall. For as long as nine to ten years, we had waited to reach the Hall fabled as a home away from home.” Adjusting took some doing but finally we fit exactly into the schedule: in bed at two o’clock and up for breakfast at six forty-nine o’clock. This soon became standard procedure for us. Immediately after Christmas vacation we were faced with exams. A most unpleasant experience. It was with great joy that we went to Washington. This trip was a spicy, enter¬ taining one. We returned to school with our head in a hay¬ loft,” so to speak. We took S.A.T.’s, A.C.T.’s and a lot of other TEST’s we wished we had never heard of. Some of us were notified early about college acceptance; others just received word in April or May. Most of us wondered how big the change would be between Hum life and College life. We decided to name Tem¬ ple University Girard College II, since there were so many boys going there from Girard. Founder’s Day was, in typical Girard fashion, prepared for months in advance. This did not give us much time to work on our greatest literary achievement—The Term Paper. After a little wheeling and dealing we had our Prom, and then realized that we barely had three weeks left in Girard. Three weeks, but it seemed as if we belonged here forever. Some of us had been here a long time. Most of us were glad to be graduating. Pomp and Circumstance led us down the aisle. It was more than down the aisle, though; it led us into a world waiting for people like us, ambitious, friendly. 6 y

To the Class of 1968: The time of departure, the time to be under way, your graduation is at hand. By now each of you should have decided for himself where he is headed. You are setting sail for the next port in your life’s adventure, and the safe harbor of Girard College will soon be over the horizon. Socrates, centuries ago, said. If a man does not know to what port he is sailing, no wind is favorable.” We who have lived with you and worked with you pray that we have given you the in¬ telligence to decide where you are going and the ability to chart your course. May God grant you fair winds and varied weather. Sincerely yours, , ((». r 4 abtve S. Mac fjteyoi 1 8 f
