f X it X Z I f X X XXX-X f K Senior Essay As the school year nears its terminus and we look forward with trembling eagerness to a promising future, we fondly recall all the wonderful memories which we shall carry with us from Knox. These are many and varied recollec- tions that will come to mind in the days and years to come of the time we passed in our alma mater. The cherished friendships and the conhdences we've exchanged with an understanding companion . . . the overwhelming problems which threatened to engulf us . . . the fun of everyday dormitory life . . . all forever pass into the realm of memory. NVe take with us the learning we have gained - more than just that brought with long sleepless nights and midnight oil - a clearer un- derstanding of ourselves and a character partially molded by this time of preparation. What sadness was felt or tears shed here we'll but dimly remember - only enough to heighten the memories of past pleasures. Remember the thrill you felt, Seniors, the first time you wore that cherished white blazer after the lantern parade last year? Remember the new sense of maturity you felt when you ceased to sneer at those customs labeled tradi- tions ? Remember the tons of homework you did and the knowledge that sometimes had to be forced into your head? Remember the envious glances as you preceded the underclassmen into the dining room . . . the problems you had setting that good example . . . the sshh, sshh as you half-walked, half-ran down the hill early in the morning for initiation . . . the dread and last-minute cramming before exams? Remember looking forward to college . . . making your choice . . . those awful College Boards . . . those mental blanks? Remember the aches and pains after gym class . . . the stinging cold on those winter hunts . . . the supreme fatigue as you fell into bed? Remember the ex- citement and anticipation before vacation . . . yelping for joy when the phone rang just for you and you knew he was on the other end? Remember May Day, the Spring Horse Show, Senior Day, the Senior Ship, Class Day, and hnally Commencement when you graduated in that long white gown and sang the Alma Mater for the last time? . . . remember? Remember when you hrst started to think more deeply on, who am I? from whence have I come? whither am I going and to what purpose? You never came to a definite conclusion, did you? Does anyone? How many of our predecessors have felt the same sensations and recalled the same memories? VVe are an essential part of a long procession. Yes, Knox is full of passing people, and now it is our turn to pass on into a bright and promising future. - Joan Nixon f Q 1 X 474, if . 40
