Some were bashful, some cocky, some eager, some timid, ah entering a new workl, meeting new people, and acquiring nmv atnidsijhere. To some, college was a glamorous worth It meant dates, dances, bull sessions, sorority and fraternity pins, friends and fun. It was the resting period before they were pushed into the workl and forced to stand on their own feet. To others it meant classes, studying, grades, research, austere professors. Phi k ' ta Mu and Pi Gamma Pi. It was a four-year period of work that gave them courage to face the world. Now they have been at Monmouth for a A-ear. College has bec jme a new word to them; it means all those things and nianv more. Already a few luue gone from us. Others will drop along the way; but it is those who remain, the Class of ' 43, that will atkl to old Monmouth ' s grandeur and it is they who shall give most while the - are here, ami they who will take away the most when they leave.
