CLASS June 7 - Today we graduate. Four years of good WH' fun and hard work studded with short hours of warm joy and some disappointments have passed. It is over, done! Some of us will continue our education in college, others will not. Whatever our separate paths, they will be hard, rocky ones, leading us slowly up a steep hill, for life will no longer coddle us as it did our older broth- his-9' ers. Twelve years with understanding, capable, con- scientious men and women, who, unthanked, have de- voted endless hours to their task, must meet their test. If they were well spent, if we have learned and learned well, there is nothing to fear, we will be well prepared. If not, our plight is grave, but not hopeless. E 5 E cl I l E g E cg' . H I ,annum 52, Before many months have gone by, most of us will be serving our country. It will be a great experience: novel, invigorating, but - let us pray - not hardening. We shall see foreign lands and distant places, new peoples, different, yet the same, and many will undergo such treatment that a great change may take place in them. If, in these last twelve years, we have caught, though probably unconsciously, the theme of education, the spirit of good living, this change will be a strong, healthy, vibrant one. If not, it may be cancerous and hard and paralytic. All over the world youth is being exposed to this force. And, as a result, this world can be pure, fresh, and happy, only if education has succeeded in the sorest test it has yet had to meet. Here at Tabor we think it has. ,- Zlfll:0'C Cf0'l4fLl4fLiff66.4 DANCE COMMITTEE BANQUET COMMITTEE A .

ERIC HARVEY AIKENS 1943 Army Scuffing softly along XVashburn's murky depths at 6.30 every morning will be found this wide awake fellow, on the way to make shining his cheru- bic countenance. Wlien zero hour for breakfast approaches, braving shoes and anything else within reach of a sagging bed, he tactfully awakens the rest of the house. Even with this prov- en method of losing friends, Elric still retains his popularity by simply not committing himself to anything con- troversial, and by letting Givvy do all the talking. Finding him to be a man of moods, though, we give warning to all en- countering him when an ear-piercing Holiday For Stringsn is not on his pursed lips. Playing a substantial game of soc- cer and tumbling through the active wrestling season unruffled, Eric car- ries on in his sedate but affable man- ner. WILLIAM MCDONALD ALLEN 1942 U. S. Navy Air Corps Almost everything Bill does, he does to enjoy himself. His methods vary from a mild form of philosophy, and giving what should appear to be ser- ious advice, to the simplest practical joke. and he is generally either laugh- ing with you loudly or at you quietly. His activities range from soccer and boxing to some studying, to after- lights merrymaking, and it is only be- tween these that he relaxes. But this can never be for longg if there is any mischief-making going on, Bill is prob- ably one of the instigators, and his laugh will he among the loudest. The high point of his week, however, comes on Sunday afternoon. for Bill is an inveterate walker, and as a native of Marion he knows just what to do.
