oDedicutii ic uon • • As we pause a moment to look bock over our life, we see a;;ain in our memory the times you have guided our feet and with prayers and understanding hearts set our feet on the road leading to ambition, achievement, and a higher life in Christ. We realize again in this moment that the things most worth- while, the great and true, we have learned from you — our fathers and mothers. We know that you, our parents, have done more than love, teach, and comfort us; you have under- stood us. From the prattle of our childhood to the yearnings of our teen-age years, you have rejoiced in our successes, helped us in our troubles, and comforted us in our disappointments. You have done this not only by your words, your actions, and your prayers, but by just being there, always ready, when we needed a friend. We know your life has been made up of hopes, dreams, and aspirations for us. We are graduating from college and high school this year and know that it has been through the sacrifices you have made. We know that any success we shall ever have will be due to you. We pray we shall never fail you, never betray the trust and love you have put in us. We shall endeavor to make our lives a constant striving to be all you want us to be— for in so doing, we shall reach success. For all the material things you have given us, we are deeply grateful; but most of all, we are thankful for the Christian homes and training you have given us. We shall never forget the times you have knelt in prayer for and with us. In appreciation for the great work our families are doing in making it possible for us to attend school and knowing the great sacrifices they are having to make in order to make this possible, we, the Senior Class of 1952-53, with great appreciation dedicate our annual to you — our fathers and mothers.

LP jrorewora . . . N sr s s srN s s s s s 0 Only a few grains of the sands of college time are left — only a few inches remain blank on the scroll. When these are filled, we shall have completed two years of college work — Two years filled with sunshine and sorrow, laughter and tears, work and play. Two years filled with the little things that make life worth remembering. And the little things are, after all, the things worth remembering, the things we cherish in years to come — the understanding smile, the friendly advice . . . greeting old friends and making new ones . . . the scramble for umbrellas on a rainy day . . . the hustle and bustle to decorate for banquets and parties . . . the rush to the post office . . . the first time you got a demerit (the time you forgot to sign out for town) . . . tryouts for the plays, the long rehearsals, the thrill of being backstage the night of the play, the smell of make-up, and the warmth deep down in- side when it was all over . . . the convenient headache the time you overslept and missed a class . . . open house at Walker Hall . . . reading magazines and parallel in order to off-balance Mrs. Mooney ' s tests . . . the way Brother Gause entered the room on days of pop quizzes . . . Brother Smith ' s friendly advice . . . Mrs. Sherman ' s music classes . . . the cold auditorium . . . the slaw, mashed potatoes, ham, and peaches in the cafeteria . . . campaign for a student president . . . snacks between classes . . . the first thrill of being a senior . . . light permission . . . long-distance calls from Simmons to Walker . . . the heart-to-heart talks with Brother Carroll in chapel . . . with all these memories cast against the re- membered images . . . the silhouette of the library in the moonlight . . . the columns of Alumni in the sun- light . . . and the beautiful trees on the campus . . . How to tell the story of a year at Lee? Is it possible to portray the moments of joy, despondency, and triumph which are the essence of campus life? It has been the purpose of the 1953 VINDAGUA to pre- sent life on the campus as it really is — a life of honest effort to attain the highest ideals and noble living. If, many years from now, this book brings back fond memories of friendship, achievement, and life on the campus in 1953, and if it gives posterity a glimpse of that which has taken place, we feel that the attempt has been worth while and that the purpose of the VINDAGUA will be completed.
