I hope Mom doesn't call 'lights out' before I finish the last 300 pages, sighs Dennis Triplett. Porter Stallings finds that long houxs of study really pay when mid-terms roll around.

With no set bed-time, the student's day usually lasts until the wee hours as he frantically tries to finish the last few pages of the novel due tomorrow, or after putting off an as- signment for a more convenient time, finds himself weary- eyed from too much cramrning. He isn't surprised the next morning that the No-Doz he devoured has worn off and his thoughts are as jumbled as the mixed nuts he ate last night. By the time he gets that test paper, though, the thoughts are straightened out and som'ehow the student has managed to take a step into tomorrow, from today, as he studies Einstein's Theory of Relativity, -and listens to Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Moods Music, the universal language of all mankind, came to the students in many tones. The tones of exuberancy caused their spirits to soar during the pep rallies, as the band played the fight y song. Cool tranquil tones given at concerts brought poignant memories to their minds. Light, gay, whimsical music expressed their great vitality and love for life. Teenage Holiday set the mood for the Christmas dance as jim Avett and Judy Huskey fell into step with the music. Winter Wonderland, although the theme of the dance, could well have b een the title of the extended Christmas holidays as the ground was covered with ice and snow.

Dancing to the music provided by the Kampus Kats of Lenoir Rhyne College, guests at the prom glide across the gym floor. Hundreds of stars had to be cut out of cardboard, covered in tin foil, and then hung from the rafters to give the gym a celestial appearance. Jimmy Rader holds his final star up to be inspected by Edward Elmore, Linda Watson, Shirley Miller, Tim Beane, and joe Roberts. Attired in elegant form al s, the 1963 senior walked up the pathway lined in bamboo and crossedthe archbridge entering an Orienta1 Garden. He saw a mass of greenery making up the mountains projected from the east w all of the gym. A golden moon reflectedin a waterfall which trinkled down among the ferns. Adjusting his eyes to the soft candle- light, he saw backgrounds of cherry trees filled with thousands of pink tissue blossoms. Oriental lanterns and musical wind chimes suspended from the rafters on either side over the tables. A band played in front of the Pagoda which stood in a make-believe stream. Pictures and souvenirs taken early in the evening will recall that one night, May 11, he was a part of an exotic, imagi- nary life.
