3 v V ■ - - V --C MARION COLLEGE The Alma Mater Now fixed on thee our hopes repose, O Marion, dear Marion; May every year new good disclose. O Marion, dear Marion. Through all the garish lights that gleam To lure us from the paths of truth. Thy greatness shineth like a beam Of one fair star, O Marion. And may a grander music wake Within thy walls, O Marion. And all thy joyful echoes wake, O Marion, dear Marion. While every faithful daughter calls, Grow greater with each passing year; Enlarge thy bounds, enrich thy walls. Dear Marion, our Marion.” So may thy noble beauty grow, O Marion, dear Marion. More stately as the seasons go, O Marion, dear Marion. We know thou’lt rest unshaken still. Though many storms around thee blow, Firm-based thy mission to fulfill. We honor thee, dear Marion. THE EDITORIAL STAFF THE EDITORIAL STAFF Left to right : Madeleine S. Brown, Sharon C.

To be loyal to the traditions of the past, yet open to the discoveries of the present and hopes of the future . . . To find freedom in knowledge of the truth, beauty in the common sphere of daily living, joy in love and friendship, strength in constructive service . . . To play happily and work honestly . . . To believe in God and God’s children To serve where service is most needed . . . This is the ideal of Marion College. 5 k- Dr. John H. Fray From The President What is a great life? was asked of a prominent Frenchman. He replied that it is a thought planted in the mind of youth and carried out in the ripening years of life.” The Faculty and Staff at Marion College aspire to achieve such a goal in the lives of you students who are en¬ trusted to our care, hoping that the thinking begun here will guide you into self-less and useful lives. 6 u ' A.

SENIOR CLASS The new calendar on the wall tells us that the time is here—graduation. It seems such a short while ago that we entered M.C and now we are ready to leave. No matter where our life ' s work lies in rhe years ahead, it will undoubtedly be largely influenced by these wo years of work, anxiety, fun, and accomplishment. The challenges of the w ' orld greet us as we walk across the stage, and into a new ' life. Reminiscing through the year ' s calendar, we remember many important days: our Hallow ' een dance— Bewntched,” our Christmas surprise for rhe freshmen, May Day, Senior Weekend and the most memorable, our graduation.

The Student Council The purpose of the Student Government Association shall be to preserve student honor, to maintain high college standards, to uphold the honor of the college and to encourage responsibility and loyalty to the student body.” Many students believe, however, the main purpose of the Student Council is to award de¬ merits The members of the council are not weird creatures or spies. Instead, they are fellow students who enjoy a good time also. These representatives serve as a link between the students and the administration. The students who serve as Student Council representatives are chosen each year by the entire student body to help carry out the five-fold purpose of the Student Government. At times the responsibilities of the Student Council are difficult and unlimited. We admit that we are not always correct; and we, therefore, ask for the help of the student body. We welcome suggestions and criticisms. Although it is hard to believe at times, the Student Council is your servant and friend. In return it asks for the cooperation and respect of you, the students. 48 SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES, left to right : M. Brown, L. Booze, N. Rover, S. Gantz, M Baugher, B, Surber. Laura Lee Booze.
