oLeaend oj- tne luina oDiitcn The fate of the romantic Flying Dutchman of legend was to sail throughout eternity in search of a woman who would redeem him through her love from the curse of eternal wandering. His history is a sad, overwhelming sweep of eternity and death. The fate of today ' s Flying Dutchmen, the class of 1954 of Lebanon Valley College, is to live in a whirling world of constant change. Their history is a complex pattern of everything that has happened to them since September 11, 1950 when they first viewed Lebanon Valley as their college. Each faculty member, dorm session, date, class- mate, test, football or basketball game, play or concert, as well as each poignant period of homesickness, con- fusion, or bewilderment has subtly effected a change in each student. This QuiTTAPAHiLLA is Our record of those forces of change; it is our attempt to put into concrete form the wondrous abstracts of living and learning, of thinking and doing, of growing and changing that have been our four years at Lebanon Valley College. Published by the CLASS OF 1954 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE ANNVILLE, PA.

?54 QUITTAPAHILLA Quittapahilla! Lovely Indian name! Quittapahilla — rippling on the tongue An incantation, or a song once sung By dancing maidens in the mellow flame Of nioontime. Hilla! Hilla! Warriors came To answer, Hilla! Quittapahilla! — flung Into the dusk while yet the stars were young — And challenge Death for some avenging shame. And now she lives the spirit of the stream Weeping amid its willows when they sigh. Or calling through the lowlands green with corn: Quittapahilla! — shadow of a dream In forests olden: and the wailing cry Crosses the meadows like a silver horn. Harvey Carson Grumbine f?
