THE CROSS Wednesday morning chapel is a reminder to Peace College students that there is more to life than books and boys. Peace has always been and always will be a Presbyterian school. The Christian principles learned during these services provide a steady, central focus for students. Wherever we students may go from there, we will always have a firm foundation in the one immovable tradition: Christianity. Those special words we hear each chapel service will forever ring in our hearts and minds. The Lord be with you . . . and with thy spirit. The Apostle ' s Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the lite everlasting. Amen Lead on, O King Eternal Lead on, O King Eternal, The day of march has come; Hence-forth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home; Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong. And now, O King Eternal, We lift our battle song. Lead on, O King Eternal, Till sin ' s fierce war shall cease, And Holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen ot peace; For not with swords ' loud clashing. Nor roll of stirring drums. With deeds of love and mercy. The heavenly Kingdom comes. Lead on, O King Eternal, We follow, not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning Where ' er Thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o ' er us; We journey in it ' s light; The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God ot might. Amen

msmmmmmm YOU MAY ASK ' HOW DID THIS TRADITION GET STARTED? ' . . . . . . I ' ll It ' ll you: I don ' t knou . But it ' s a tradi- tion. Betause of our traditions everyone here knous uho he is and what God expects him to do . . . without tradition, our life is as shaky as a fiddler on the roof. — from the play Fiddler on the Roof . . . a continuity IS provided hy the development of traditions, particularly the tradition of excel- lence, in which students learn to look for truth, not prejudice, the nhole truth, not hasty gener- alizations. — H. Wendell Howard It takes time to make a college or university: it takes time to acquire land, build buildings, hire prestigious professors . . . It takes time for a college to prove itself by performance. It takes tinu for an institution to have worn steps, ivied ualh . . . the uord ' college ' means more than bricks and microscopes, credits and library card catalogs. — H. Wendell Howard The soul expressed in a college ' s traditions is the constant amidst radically changing equipment, technique, styles, and individuals. — H. Wendell Howard Crimson Red Roses drift in the cool clear fountain on a hot summer day. Roses that represent each graduate of Peace. The sweet aroma wafts through the air drawing to mind the sweet memo- ries they share. As the roses silently float through the water, each woman muses on her future and what direction her life will take. There are pos- sible thorns on her path: the pain of goodbye is one oj them. Yet for the Peace woman, the inner strength and beauty she has acquired at Peace will sustain her throughout all of her life. i iii iC Uii J
