Lipscomb University - Backlog Yearbook (Nashville, TN)

Thomas Wolfe once wrote “You can’t go home again.” Apparently to many Lipscomb students, this saying bears as much truth as the pre- Galileon conceptions of the solar system. On Thursday evening at supper, the feeling permeates the air with a severe urgency; it’s time to go home. The rest of Thursday night is spent in packing and decid- ing which Friday afternoon classes can be cut without one feeling too many guilt pangs. Then comes Fri- day with its one class, chapel, lunch and leaving. What is home? Home is a small southern town not more than seven- ty miles away, complete with a square guarded by a statue of a con- federate volunteer who for some obscure reason gazes south. While at home, clothes must be washed, Grandmother visited, and prayer led at Sunday morning service before returning to Nashville after lunch. Of course, one cannot go home without making extensive plans at the beginning of the quarter. The traveler always finds it best to pick the four hour classes which don’t meet on Friday and an early Bible class which won't detain him at one or two. Long range plans must also be made — concerning exams. For the fellow who wants to be quick on the go, it would be so convenient to take all exams on Monday: The memories are worth the academic sacrifice in the end. Consider the Thanksgiving-Christ- mas dilemma: The fervant sojourner leaves on Wednesday afternoon of Thanksgiving holiday, returns late Sunday afternoon, only to spend ten days of classes and exams before turning toward home once again. Who, therefore, are the innocent victims of this pernicious habit? It would have to be the holidays. As far as Lipscomb was concerned, pumpkins and hearts were extinct on this campus as everyone was “celebrating” back in the ole home- town with the rest of the good ole boys.
