GREENSBORO COLLEGE The first chartered cd- lege for womzn in North Carolina, 1838. Founded by Methodist Church. A community within itself G.C. lias its own unique lenijK ' ranienl. Here we find ourselves alone for the first time— yet surrounded by- peers, superiors, and inferiors. Here we may find our attitudes accepted by some, yet rejected by most. Never- theless, these are the successes and failures that make us the outstanding figures in the worldly communities. Hav- ing the basic necessities for life and social interaction, our college fills the requirements for a successful com- munity.

The choice is ours . . . In this myriad-sided microcosm of ours there is a choice which belongs solely to the individual. On- lookers can observe, but only those who make the choice can understand. Four years are ours to exper- iment, deliberate, and choose. Perhaps we will rea- lize an academic pursuit, find love, engage in the didactic, explore sex, or maybe even enter the realm of the ridiculous. These things are our becoming, our striving, our achieving, our failing, our learning. During our four years we seek, choose, discard, and look again— and after the four, the difference will be known. The choice is ours— and the difference is the choice.
