St i :£a3 There were classes, labs and ball games to take up much of our time. But one thing we remember about Lees-McRae is that it was cold. Boy, was it cold! And the snow. Snow spirit. Familiar scenes. Familiar to anyone that ever attended Lees-McRae. Fall, with its registration lines, pep rallies, foot- ball, laughter in the dorms, crowds in the Student Center, classes, labs, College Programs, rainy, dreary days of Oc- tober give way to the white, fluffy stuff that blankets Banner Elk. Snow. Snow ushers in the real spirit of Lees-McRae. Sn ow is not a new facet to the life of this year ' s student body. Snow has belonged to each class that ever attended the campus in the clouds. The physical plant has changed. But not the unique spirit and life style that sets Lees-McRae apart from the other institutions Accordance 5

■ v w And someone will inevitably ask, Where is Ban- ner Elk ' And instead of trying to explain, you tell them it ' s where you spent two of the happiest years of your life When there was nothing else to do you could watch the gold fish, play with children at the Halloween Carnival, walk in the snow, study any time and any place you could find the time or if this didn ' t satisfy the inquisitor, you could tell them, There is no way to get to the Elk from here. 6 Accordance
