,jyx s en Z-K-Quo - .. UNE, 1946 . . . signs of summer always tend to de-eagerize students . . . Iune, the month of graduation . . . when seniors doff their aca- demic cloaks and fan out to assimilate themselves into the business world . . . graduation ceremonies in Memorial Stadium, pending approval by the weatherman . . . proud families and friends crowd around the senior, shaking his hand and wishing him luck . . . Iune, the month when school becomes almost unbearable . . . the month when the senior realizes, perhaps for the first time, the things heas missed in college . . . the month when the sophomore or junior Watches graduation and counts on his fingers the quarters he has left in school . . . Iune, the month when University landscape blossoms out in all its summer finery . . . campus buildings which had a cold, foreboding appearance during winter months now assume a peaceful, comfortable look . . . the sight of numerous robins recalls the time when the first one came . . . summer brings softness even to everyday noises . . . the sounds of auto horns and streetcars lack the sharpness they had during sub-zero winter . . . truly hardboiled is the graduate who can go from the University without some tinge of remorse at leaving behind days held to be among the finest of life.
