We arrive We arrive at Meredith. We are fresh from high school, fresh in col- lege. We begin as Freshmen, and we grow into Sophomores, then Jun- iors, and finally Seniors. We are alone. For the first time we are thinking individually. We are encouraged to react individually. We are assuming responsibility indi- vidually. We are becoming ourselves. Four years we spend here — work- ing, studying, learning — mostly happy, sometimes sad. Four years of our life, dedicated to education but holding many other precious ac- complishments. Four years of our life, hard earned, but well spent. Every minute event begun in the formative years has become the soul and substance of our Meredith and of each student.
