Donald Fisher Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senior Class, 1977, By the time you read this you will stand on the threshold of a new era of your life, as a college graduate seeking a new experience which you only dimly comprehend. You wonder how to express in words that someone else will understand, something you yourself have only begun to sense. You may remember a quotation of Dylan Thomas - Poetry is the rhythmic movement from an overclothed blindness to a naked vision, - and you wonder if a college can be poetry. You realize that it was easier when you didn't see, that even a measure of perception opens you to pain, and, at the same time, that an Unexamined life is not worth living. You wonder again why life is - and what living means, and you have the temerity to want to make a suggestion. You want to speak because of all the bored, indifferent people you have met, because of time you have wasted and anguish you have ignored, because your speaking would be a gift and a thank you to the college and the people who have pushed and guided and loved you to where you are. You want to cry out that life is not to be found in the pursuit of happiness, ease, comfort or contentment, but that it is more lasting, more valuable, more fun than any of these. You want to say that life is to be found only in the service of Godg that there are many ways to serve and a way for eachg that the way required is most often the way you least want to go, but that way is His service and perfect freedom. But you cannot find the words and you cannot find the courage, so you content yourself by saying: Goodbye and thank you. I shall miss your poetry. Gustave W.
