We are the raw material, the human clay to be molded and shaped for the futures we dream of. We came eager and expectant—ready to explore the unknown of college life—to reap the benefits it had to bestow—and to enjoy every moment of it! We leave with regret at parting, but take with us many memories of our college days—the happy and the sad, the encouraging and the disappointing, the successful ones when we aced that test, the not-so-successful ones when we resolved to do better next time. We leave, too, with impatience to explore the new unknown of the future, for we are prepared to utilize our college training on a new and wider horizon. 14

This is the final year—our four years at Ursinus are over. Looking back we recall the awe and respect which we, as freshmen, awarded the upper classmen—the self-satisfied feeling that came with the attainment of sophomore status—our pride when we finally gained the title of upperclassmen as juniors. But now that we have reached the top of the college hierarchy we are just a little sorry that it happened so fast, that our “campus daze are over. We remember so many good things—our friends, pleasant occasions, and that portion of our studies that we really enjoyed. Under the leadership of our able presidents—Lee Trimble, Bob Henderson, and Paul Doughty—we successfully sponsored many social events. Chief among these were the “Velvet Mood, “Seventh Heaven and the “Winter Whirl. Now, with the publication of the 1952 Ruby we have completed our last class project. Nevertheless, throughout our lives we will consider ourselves a part of Ursinus—the class of '52.
