Lebanon Valley College - Quittapahilla Yearbook (Annville, PA)

FACULTY members and administration guide the entire stream of college life. With their wisdom, they give direction to all those engulfed by the swift currents. GUIDING HANDS As the Quittapahilla begins its narrow winding path through the channel that Nature carved, it is fed by the ad- dition of many tiny springs that widen its course, give new currents to its waters, and strengthen its endless flow. The direction of our lives is also changed by the inflow of many new and different currents supplied by capable, understand- ing, and helpful leaders. In the cosmos of life and history, many persons stand out who embody the quality of knowledge and leadership. In our academic atmosphere we look to the administrators and fac- ulty of Lebanon Valley College, as well as to our student leaders, for advice, friendship, and guidance. It is to these people, contributing currents in our stream of life, that we humbly and gratefully dedicate this yearbook. Their eager understanding, capable leadership, and unfalter- ing faith in us have enlarged the bed of our narrow stream, have broadened the course of our knowledge, and have oft- en altered, for the better, the direction of our lives. CHAPLAIN offers prayer at weekly chapel ser ice as he provides for spiritual needs.

FOREWORD Quittapahilla — stream that flows among the pines, stream that borders Lebanon Valley College. Beside the ripple of these waters we see, in our youthful atmosphere, the scholar- ly aspects of life coupled with our development as a society by which, as individuals, we are accepted or rejected. Like streams, lives arise as infinitesimal promises of future power, experiences, and achievements. They rush forward at a hastening pace in moments of utter happiness, flow an- grily and rapidly in strife, wind musically and placidly in love, and in times of grief seem not to move at all. They flow through dismal days and fair,- they tumble over rocks of jealousy, hatred, and pain; they are dashed against passion, pride, faith, and unbelief. They sweep through the valley in their search for the Great Beyond. The outlet lies somewhere just around a bend, just out of sight.

FLYING DUTCHMAN LEGEND Legend states that the Flying Dutchman, a phantom ship be- lieved to haunt the waters around the Cape of Good Hope, can be seen in stormy weather and usually forebodes ill luck. There are many variations of this mysterious myth. In the most common legend, the ship ' s captain, condemned for his blasphemy, will sail around the cape forever, unable to make port. Another form states that murder was committed on board, and plague then broke out among the crew. In the German form of the legend, fate condemned a German captain to sail forever around the North Sea in a ship without helm or steersman, playing at dice for his soul with the devil. Fate, today, condemns the Flying Dutchman to live in a complex world of constant change. This Quittapahilla is our attempt to place into a more concrete form these abstract forces of change that have taken place in the past year at Lebanon Valley College. SENIORS Kristine Kreider and Thomas Balsbaugh, presidents of Jiggerboard and Men ' s Senate, exemplify the finest qualities of student leadership. AS THE STREAM FLOWS DORMITORY MOTHER Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, friend of Mary Green Hall residents, chats with Sandra Weimer.
