Monmouth College - Ravelings Yearbook (Monmouth, IL)

Page 11 text:

TdiSK ;£nT ± HE JUNIOR CLASS has found that College life, as all life in this busy world, is a maze of confusions. Each individual, with his hand upon the thread, gropes blindly forward. Whatever his profes- sion, whatever his purpose, his life ' s thread crosses and re-crosses his brother ' s, sometimes entangling ' , sometimes strengthening, Till, by their own perplexities involved, They ravel more, still less resolved, But never find self-satisfying solution. - ' One thread, longer than the others, twines and intertwines throughout the warp and woof of the lives of those who have left their Alma Mater to weave for themselves a fabric of finer texture. With infinite patience, raveling and untying many hard knots, the Chronological Editor pulls gently on a tightly woven thread and at last lays before the public, that for which she has so long toiled : the interest- ing events of a college year. A thread so fine as to be seemingly invisible to the naked eye, yet al- ways necessary to durability, is discovered, and its meaning read by our class seer. These Ravelings, untangled, unwoven and unbroken threads, the combined results of toil, are now presented by the Junior Class to the friends of Monmouth College. To the Alumni and our classmates, who have so generously assisted us, we extend our hearty thanks, and we hope this picture of college life may meet your approval and appreciation. Editors.
