NE eyebrow quizzically cocked . . . a friendly grin . . . a hlithely hummed tune . . . a carefree sincerity . . . combined with a jaunty walk and a penchant for teasing . . . Bud put a zest into living that made him one of the most popular figures on our campus. Whether it was winning a table ten- nis tournament . . . playing on the basketball court . . . blending his voice into the rich timbre of the A Capella Choir or quartet . . . playing in the orchestra . . . or giving a vigor- ous testimony for his Lord . . . we knew that Bud was putting everything he had into it. And it was this same energetic cooperation which made us look forward to working with him on the Boulder staff this year. But Bud didn't come back last fall . . . it was while on the summer tour with the college quartet . . . 'Gin the service of the Kingn . . . that the acci- dent occurred . . . and Bud went to meet Jesus whom he so joyously served. No, Bud didn't come back, but he lives on here at Houghton College . . . in your heart . . . in mine . . . ever challenging us to a better life . . . the life which he exemplified here on the campus.

UR hearts were young and gay . . . but we'll never be quite the same . . . four years have passed as we lingered here in Houghton on the journey through life . . . four years of maturing, mastering . . . of mellowing. Yes, four years have passed . . . years during which we have progressed . . . years during which we learned . . . and studi- ed to show ourselves approved. We did not gain all our knowledge from the obliterated pages of text-books . . . some of it came through mingling with others . . . understand- ing their problems . . . and having them under- stand ours . . . Then too we have not lacked spiritual development . . . development that was fostered by some thirty odd men and women who were interested in us . . . who not only were scholars, but who were ex- amples of the Christian life and way. The four years have passed . . . and we pause a moment to look back over the way we have come before setting out on the way which lies just ahead . . . And so looking back, we dream and remember . . . remember all the big things and the little things that made the big ones. Things like the strangeness of frosh week . . . they tried to sell us chapel seats . . . the first class, when we were assigned five chap- ters in history and we thought so this is col- lege . . . then there was our first artist series concert . . . we were filled with the beauty of the music . . . and found ourselves whispering g'This is college . . . things like eight o'clocks . . . labs . . . seating lists at the dorm . . . an orange coke and three jelly doughnuts at the Pantry . . . library fines the conglomeration of sounds emerging from the music building . . . spine-tingling passes into the end zone.. . ejections from the library . . . class basketball thrills . . . track and Held day . . . that class after chapel on Thursday morning when we always read the Star . . . things like the lingering glance of two frankly in love . . . bull sessions in which we discussed everything from chop suey to What's it all about anywayw . . . the hushed expectancy before a vesper service . . . the pervacling spirituality of a Student Prayer meeting . . . Yes, it has been something more than loud socks . . . a fur coat . . . a collegiate swagger . . . and purple shadows slanting over the goal posts on a fall afternoon . . . it has been beauty in the richness of a painting by Rembrandt . . . a poem by Matthew Arnold . . . or a Beethoven symphony . . . the soul searching challenge of a church where men meet Godu . . . a triumphant Christian testi- mony from sturdy young lips . . . the eiiicacy of prayer. And so we look back and with a new aware- ness, realize that we've grown and changed . . . developed a truer sense of values . . . learned to appreciate . . . thirty-odd conse- crated Christian lives . . . self-sacrificing . . . to appreciate 'thigh in standards, low in ex- pense, fundamental in belief . . . learn to realize that Houghton did not grow up over night . . . that that behind this group of build- ings on the plateau . . . there was planning . . . sacrifice . . . devotion . . . devotion to the cause of salvation . . . of education . . . that during these four years we've become a part of Houghton . . . and the faith for which she stands . . . and that we,re proud of her . . . our Alma Mater.
