Now is the time for a last long look at the stately murals and the rows of fa- miliar green study lamps in the library, the time for a last walk through crowded crossroads halls. Now is the moment for a slow stroll down the side- walks of Dogtown's hill street, with the feel of the rough bricks under your feet, and the sound of laughing voices loud in your ears. Listen to the grumbling rattle of the streetcar as it sways pastg listen to the friendly Hi therem, the cam- panile's chiming, and the creak of the Auditorium stairs, you seniors. These are the things that will bring back col- lege days in a flood of warm memories. There is one brief interlude of a slow march across the campus in the unfa- miliar dignity of cap and gown, the sound of solemn mu- sic, the feel of the Page 1 7 ' diploma in your hand, and graduation is over The chummy bull sessions, the long nights of cramming, the assembly talks, and the spreads are past. Ahead lies the bright horizon of the future, holding who knows how many hopes and dreams to come true GRADUATIO
