West Georgia, where we spent the years . . . Time, preserved by memory, is like a gull caught in the wind . . . the crackling quilt across the campus in fall . . . the warm hand of a new friend . . . the face of a stranger, now familiar . . . the finiteness of being new and confused . . . the whack of ball against racket in the still air of weekend tranquility . . . the silly little boy with a duck in a white fountain . . . the thud of feet on the gymnasium floor . . . the stimulating clash of idea and ignorance . . . the shy goodnight of a pretty girl . . . the enthusiasm of holiday exodus and the mixed emotions of return . . . the beckoning warmth of Gunn House in a rainstorm . . . the blare of hi-fi and the silence of an empty dorm . . . time preserved by memory, is like a gull caught in the wind . . . 10 ■Mb itmmm
