Love ' s Labor Lost, i, 1 Our seniors are amused by those innumerable posters which show a clear-eyed, sturdy student standing on the summit of a mountain, looking into eternity. On the bottom of the poster ap- pear the words, College Senior. The picture here at Guilford is a bit different. Piedmont hills replace the mountains, and a slightly quiz- zical senior replaces the embryo Einstein of the poster. Seniors have been hailed and farewelled ever since Eve took a degree in husbandry; at Guilford we simply say, Till we meet again. Some of the seniors have gone through uninter- rupted; others left to settle a misunderstanding. Some graduate with honors; others with thanks. Some are going on with their studies; others wil l begin. Some will be wealthy; others will never be immortalized on donation lists. But none will ever regret coming to Guilford. A college is more than its reputation, its endow- ment, its roll call of distinguished graduates, A college is a state of mind, a feeling known to a few; a feeling impossible to describe, but easy to recall. The outside world beckons; we start; we hesitate — we wonder. . . . Our text- books become dusty; they have little use now. Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Does Shylock outdo Santa Claus? Are mortgages still foreclosed and fortunes made? Can love go on in spite of Nietzche? Is there a Paradise? What ' s it like? Somewhere an Emeritus Su- preme is smiling as he sees his humble students look to him for answers. The answers aren ' t there; they ' re yet to be written. mi}o ' 6 1 1)0 Wes Inman, David Hadl V Stabler, trie Leonard, Adrian Brodeur. 15
