FRIENDSHIP In the classroom and the dorm, at work and at public gatherings we met our friends and came to know and to love them. At first it surprised us to see so many other young people who had the same pattern of convictions and ihe same standard of a good time. Before we came to Trevecca we had the idea that Christian young people could not ever have such good times, but here we have learned how incorrect that idea was. We have had picnics, taken hikes, gone out to eat, at- tended lectures or services in town, talked and studied under the trees on the campus, played the piano and sung, en- joyed a game on the tennis court, attended Friday night programs with a special person, and done so many other things. Through it all we have felt the ties of friendship drawing us closer and closer to one another and we have sensed the genuine joy of fellowship. To us they were just boys and girls — classmates. In a few years we shall meet again on other occasions, but they will not be just boys and girls then but men and women, and they will be the leaders in our church or persons out- standing in other professions. We will meet them and will recognize their abilities and will, with a twinkle in our eyes, remember our happy times together during this past year. Our association with these select persons — our leaders in the making — has been of untold value to us in our efforts to formulate our own ideals and the various parts of a life philosophy. These with whom we have worked and played, studied and worshipped, have helped to weave a rich de- sign in the tapestry of our young lives, and we are grateful to them and to God for our privilege of attending a holi- ness school with them, though for such a short time it was.
