AROUND THLV JQUAQE

realized it or not. The world began to beckon in our Junior year. Grad- uate school requirements added extra hours to the study time of many, the jobs we held became important links to future opportunities. Friendships passed, continued, new ones were formed, as the specialized courses we took put us into more varied classes. The challenge of our growth made many of us aware of new aspects in our physical surroundings. Pride and humility commingled. This ambivalent feeling was described as school spirit, or lack of school spirit, depending on our individual proclivities. A job, graduate school, marriage, the armed forces- these terms were on our lips and in our minds a good deal of the time during our Senior year-consciously or otherwise. The uncertainty of the future for most of us was all too evident in our thoughts and actions. We laughed, cried, joked, harangued-and we all pondered, we all worried. We worked hard and we took it easy by turns, we' were skeptical, optimistic, cynical, pessi- mistic, happy, sad. We felt the need for expression of our individuality, but we could not always End the form for that expression to take. The future called to us, but we were almost afraid to answer. Many of us have answered now, or are still answer- ing, some are questioning yet, and will always question. What matters most of all is that we should have de- veloped and -retained the ability to articulate our ques- tions and answers, and that we remember the questions we must try to answer.
