We Worked As if implying that classses don’t require enough effort, many of us spent our “spare time” holding jobs. The college student is known for his demands on parents, for his loafing ways, and for his complete unwillingness to work. We were living examples that this picture was not a true one as many of us worked twenty to forty hours a week at various occupations. Some students worker in the bookstore, others helped in campus offices—typing for profs or acting as gen- eral errand boys. Pushing a rake, guiding a pencil, and running a mimeo machine might not be lucrative positions, but they did have monetary value, and after all, they kept us out of some mischief. Student participation in campus employment was pleasurable. Sputnik had nothing on us!

It was a long way up! We Grew Yes, we grew ... some in stature, some in wisdom and some even in both. We laugh at the comparisons between two extremes of heigth, but the comparison between a lack of education and that education which was provided for us was no laughing matter. When we observed the triumphant diploma-marching seniors we realized that our opportunities were not to be taken lightly, that time was indeed a creature of wings, and that our minds must soar with it or be forever left behind in regret. Not all of us could be physical giants, or even mental monarchs; but we could all take advantage of what we were given here to grow into the best people, the fullest people, the “biggest” people that our potential would allow. Finally, the memorable day of the diploma arrived.
