We each brought our past and molded with the present, to share and receive and form a new community. So it was again as we left St. Ambrose, we took what we each were then, and mingled that with what came ahead, that being anywhere in the world. Like it or not, we cannot change what those past four years made us. Some faced the working world, others the militaiy, and still others more academic life. Another of the many transi- tions and adjustments was faced by all of us. Because of the four years at St. Ambrose, that change should have been easier for us, and very profitable. We had completed another step to real manhood - a mental more than just a physical change. We had to take what we were and continue, to face the future. In the words of Wordsworth, we are not to look wantingly back- wards at our lives, but realize that they are past, and find strength in what remains behindf, 24 COLLEGE BELL, IOHN MATTHEW, Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

JAMES MARTIN AUBRY SISTER MARY RICHARD Business Administration AUBRY, O.S.B. History A more realistic view of ourselves, life, and our abilities was achieved during the four years at St. Ambrose. Many arrived here self-confident. These were proba- bly a minority. Others were only confident in the eyes of others. Perhaps this is the greatest accomplishment of college-a real self-coniidence which inspires adapta- bility and cooperation expressed in growth towards maturity. In academic life it is presumed we had become minor authorities in our Held of endeavor. Be it in science, the fine arts, or economics, we had all made our choice and incorporated the field into our lives. More than just the knowledge of material had developed. XVe had learned, in a small way, to be a physical and mental part of our field, thus affecting our likes, dislikes, and attitudes. Along with this, it was hoped we had achieved a broad view of many fields of knowledge by eaming our liberal arts degree. No matter how much we may have disliked a word list or an outside reading list, We THOMAS JOSEPH ATZEN Chemistry EDWARD HENRY ACKE Accounting SISTER CECILE MARIE JOSEPH LAWRENCE BAER, O.S.B.

In many of the extra- curricular activities and sports, our Senior class has made itself known. Many have become better people. To name any one person would be wrong. There are too many and in varying degrees. The purpose of the outstanding work is not to get recognition anyway. Good work and achievement must have a better source of motivation. Therefore, praise here is unneeded for those who have ushinedv have earned their reward personally in their own individual feelings of accomplishment. YVhat could be said here would be unimportant in time, but what they have learned will be with them for as long as it is needed - a lifetime. lVhcn we left high school days, we also left a com- munity of which we were a part, no matter how small of a part that might have been.
