Alma Mater In the heart of dear old Cleveland, Reared against the sky, Proudly stands our Alma Mater As the years go by. Praise to thee, our Alma Mater, Molder of mankind. Greater glory, love unending Be forever thine! Balmy breezes gently wafted Through inspiring halls; Memories ' leaflets, closely twining, Shall fore ? er recall Yesterdays that waken in our Hearts a tender glow, Making greater still the love That we have learned to know. rs s rs r srsrs s r N N -s s ' , 4rN Nj y S3 ' 73

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.
