WE LOOK FORWARD BY ANALYZING OUR PAST.. With the ending of another school year, it is time to reflect on what we have accomplished this past nine months. We wasted valuable hours around the bridge tables or in just plain goofing off, but many of us found the satisfaction gained from really applying ourselves to our studies. A course that promised to be dull opened up new vistas on a different tangent, or we may have accidentally stumbled on the basis for a whole new range of interest. To the college student, the passage of time does not seem of concern because we tell ourselves that we have such an unlimited supply. Actually, these four years go by all too fast and with it the opportunities that a college such as Monmouth offers. When we leave Monmouth for the last time we are supposedly prepared for the niche in life that we have chosen — be it office, lab, classroom, or home — how well prepared depends on the foundation we laid for ourselves during our college years. 20

AND THEN THERE WAS THAT FATEFUL DAY LAST SEPTEMBER Probably the outstanding event of the year was the tornado which struck our campus on September 26, 1959. Many of the giant trees, which were among Monmouth ' s few claims to beauty, were twisted and broken in a matter of minutes. The next day, bright and sunny in contrast to the blackness of the day before, was spent in a concerted effort by the whole student body to help clean up the havoc left by the storm. The picture below is dedicated to the Monmouth Power Company by the few who did try to continue studying — but the majority of us found a good excuse for bridge marathons or just plain partying. The campus landscape will show the effect of that day for a long time to come, for such trees are not quickly replaced. 19
