The events, the ac- tivities, all center around the ever changing, ever growing, people who live in Johnson or the Quads or Scott or Bart let. They represent every w alk of live, every religious or political belief, every type and character that is to be found in the world. They come in different quanti- ties and qualities. They are rich and poor. They are brilliant and dull. They are exhubrant or shy. extroverted or introverted. They each have something of value which is their- alone, their own personal value, their own real wealth. They hlend and mix and con- tribute to one another in a spe- cial way. Each one gives some- thing to the other and gains from what his friend or brother has to offer. People meeting and mixing a montage of facts, ideas, theories, w ishes and desires.
