Quill XX The year is over now, the last exam has been taken, the bags are packed lor the long or short trip home, whichever the case may be. The last-minute goodbyes to friends tried and true have all been said. Uncle, the janitor, has been tipped and a tinal check to see if anything of importance has been Forgotten is now made. All is in readiness, the door is open and the road is waiting, but a final glance at the room is taken, and with that fleeting glance a review of the year sweeps through the mind. Yes, something of importance has been left behind, a complete year ol memories, some happy, others bitter, but each cherished in its own respective way. And what are some ol these memories . . . Y The inevitable Big Thursday with an array ol color and feeling all its own. lt's the day when Tiger meets Gamecockp and when the smoke clears, hall the state is jubilant for a year and the other hall wears the black of mourning . . . There were the classes with the ditlerent campus characters, some dry and drab, others delightful . . .

The changing of the seasons with each bringing into play its own display of fashion and activity . . . The controversies that have raged throughout the years and this year stirred to a never-precedented tumult . . . The bold headings of The Gamecocki' asking for a new campus site . . . The Student Body meetings to discuss the Date Ticket situation and the new constitution . . . The eruption of the I-lonor Board fracas, with pros and cons ottered at every quarter. The memory of a house divided among itself will be remembered, but the sense of duty to Carolina displayed by the respective Factions will be remem- bered still longer, for, interwoven among the ill feelings and contempt was the spirit displayed by all concerned that they believed their purpose essential to the embetterment oi this, our State University. With a spirit such as this the day will come when The men and women oi Carolina will sing those simple words We hail thee Carolina and sing thy high praise Fully realizing that they are paying homage to a physical being that is as alive as their voices and greater than the combined crescendo oi all of her childrens' voices cascading down through the years. 9
