Presbyterian College - Pac Sac Yearbook (Clinton, SC)

Presbyterian College is a perfect institution, a chaotic mess with no meaning. It is a test of strength in debt to weakness, t is sublime, a humble little school house. P. C. is completely unique, like everything else, t is a carefree barefooted girl, anxiety In the flesh, t is the romance of a life time, loneliness and despair. P. C. is the beginning of new hopes, the death of many dreams, t is the light in darkness and the darkness in the midst of light, t is faith in mankind, the destruction of Faith. Presbyterian College is a symbol of harmony, a manifestation of discord. t is permissiveness behind bars. t is the still calm water at the crest of a tidal wave. P. C. is the last frontier, full of tradition, t is losing oneself, finding the truth, t is panic without fear. P. C. Is a storehouse of knowledge, a cavity among God ' s flawless teeth. t is wisdom, the words of fools t is foolishness, the soil of wisdom. Presbyterian College is learning tolerance, becoming Intolerent. t is a love of simplicity through pedantry, t is becoming blind through awareness. P. C. is a chasm united t is unity fragmented, t Is a sweet and friendly war. P. C. is sobriety full of strong drink. t is emptiness about to burst, t is a famine in the midst of plenty. 16 COMMUNITY

Presbyterian College is of course many different things to many different people. Some praise it; others curse it, and for others it is a vague memory; but for those who are still in its four fleeting years P. C. is certainly no vague memory, rather it is an intensely vivid reality. It is our home, our business, and our play- ground. We have come to Presbyterian Colle ge for many different purposes. It is a mere moment in the hour of life, but it is a crucial moment, a crucial instant that demands decision. The personality of Presbyterian College is dependent upon all who have lived behind its walls, from the first professor and his classroom in 1880 to its projected image for the student of 1980. Presbyterian College is a mold that begs to be broken. It is everything and it is nothing. It is a wonderful place to live, a preparation for the trials ahead. Monty Nelson, 1973 COMMUNITY 17
