No beds of roses awaited eleven college students when they returned to Messiah College in September and enrolled in the recently-offered senior college courses. For two whole years they had endured the long hard grind of College life. Now lying ahead of them were two more years of study which would climax their college careers. Hopefully they dug into their work, spurred on by the fact that a B. B. E. or the Th. B. degree would soon be attached to their names. Some found the going a bit rough. Others adjusted themselves exceptionally well with the new program. All possessed the purpose and determination to achieve their noble goal. With the advancement into the senior college level these students took on added dignity and responsibility. Many of them held important leadership offices in stu- dent government and participated in varied student activities. Underclassmen looked upon them with ad- miration, anticipating the time when they, too, would pride themselves in being called College luniors and College Seniors. Of course, there were times of discouragement amid their heavy duties, but there were also the lighter moments,-the one-day trip and the memorable evening at the home of their advisor, for instance. Worthwhile touches were added to the life of every student as they shared these experiences and associations. Finally, there came the day when their dreams were realized. Baccalaureate-graduation exercises-a dl- ploma-a degree. These were the rewards of tl1911' hours of effort and dogged determination. They had fought,-and had won! 20 ui iiai -... ag,- Wifi Etifafif 3' 4 W Times of me and fun . , I 0 . I I in ahn and Colleges Iemembranc Gfaduati . l ng GSI hrist
