The sis- ter class hikes in both Fall and Spring were thoroughly enjoyed. The skip-hike with the Seniors was a bright spot in the year. Yet deeper and far beyond all the fun we have had, there has been a deepening of character, on awakening to the realities, of life which are facing us so close at hand. This year, filled with work and fun, sunshine and clouds, has been one of close fellowship and establishing of friendships which will endure. Life has taken on a new meaning for us, and we feel that by the help of God we can and will be conquerors. We are fascinated by the mystery of the future, and yet almost tremble when we think of leaving the sheltering walls of Spring Arbor and making our own way through life. College Freshm Tempus fugit! It seems so short a time ago that we came to Spring Arbor and looked about us with wondering eyes at the campus which was beautiful from the first, at the build- ings, which have been like people who bear acquaint- ance, and at the faculty and other students with whom we soon became friends under the homey, congenial at- mosphere. The days ahead no longer were enemies to be vanquished, but instead were colored with eager antici- patron. Nor have those days, now past, disappointed us. Glancing back, one after another stands out from the rest with its gift, its contribution to our treasure of mem- ories. And yet they are more than memories, we need not recede into the past to relieve them, the todays are richer because of them. There have been experiences in the classrooms when our teachers have tried to point out the best way to us, experiences in the gymnasium of learning to co-operate, to lose as well as to win, and experiences in school and church that have gone far toward building a well bal- anced christian character. But now the time has come when we must part with all these things-when we can share no longer the joys and sorrows of Spring Arbor days. We are thankful for Spring Arbor and the background that we have had here, for we feel that we are better equipped to fill our places in life for having attended such a school as this. May we as a class be an honor to our school and accomplish well the tasks given to us. -BETTY ELLEN Cox en of '36 Extra-curricular activities were not only tolerated, but encouraged by those in authority. So hikes, picnics, sleigh-rides, parties, and so on broke the routine and added zest to school-life. Fun, still in its own place, has not usurped first place. More than ever we are deter- mined to keep First things first. Early this school-year one of our number was called Home. We will always cherish the memory of Dale Ormston, whose short life was filled with indices that pointed not to himself, but to God. However diverse our paths may be, we will never for- get when we were the College Freshman Class of 1936 of Spring Arbor, the school we love. -MARY LILLIAN KENNEDY e26wv
