Come gather ' round people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you ' ll be drenched to the bone, If your time to you is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone. For THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’!

THE COLLEGE And though you be done to death, what then? If you battled the best you could; If you played your part in the world of men. Why, the Critic will call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce, And whether he ' s slow or spry, It isn’t the fact that you ' re dead that counts, But only, how did you die?” —E. V. COOKE

Mr. Thomas W. West THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The heart of Marion has been sound academic training in a wholesome Christian environment directed at developing the individual’s total personality and unique pattern of life. The 94th year of the institution began with hopes and aspirations for growth and development and now ends with the decision to cease operation temporarily. Although saddened that this may be the final year for the college, we realize its impact on society will continue to be felt as long as each of us strives to live our life to the fullest in the context of the Marion Ideal. It truly has been a memorable year. Cherish it!
