CLASS HISTORY The span of years marking our lives seem to Ik- just as compartmentalized. just as sectioned, as all (lie oilier facets of our existence. As our lives are shared by science, economics, history, and in turn their various •uhdivisions, so are these our same lives split into periods of time. I here are the individual days, months, and years, and these in turn are grouped into large periods. We call these larger periods stages in the process of growing up, phases of adjusting ourselves to our environment. so that we may make the most of what we have in the given conditions in the midst of which we exist. T he four years or so which we were fortunate enough to spend in college make up a sizable part of one of these periods. They rest upon our childhood, our elemental school days, the extension of our adolescence from junior high school to high school, through college. It seems as if these latter four years at IJrsiniis are. for the most of us. the grand finale in our quest for a measure of adulthood. This is a period when our adjustive processes should be nearing a fin al point, when we are beginning to realize what our potentials are and are trying to utilize them in stiiking a happy medium between ourselves and those around us. Some of us have made the grade now. some of us will wait to bring ourselves into proper focus. Yes. our foui year' at college have passed. Text books have come and gone, one more expensive than the last, and for many of us that has been our college history. Ihit college i- much more than books, instructors, and grades. College, as we should see it in retrospect, if we have not seen it fully yet. as it moves toward its physical close is much more than an interim for study ing between weekends. It is more than worrying about marks, tests. Starvation in the college dining hall: it is more than sitting in your dormitory room or merely muttering an unconscious “hi to those we have passed on the wav l«» I 'I ah lei or Bomherger: it is more than trudging to classes or trying to wake up in chapel. College is living and learning with other people. It is getting to know individuals, learning how to fit ourselves into their society. It is adjustment. College is a small, seven letter word, but it lias all the meaning you want to give it. We bad the opportunity to make use of most of our abilities here, if we wanted to; many of us held back and lost a wonderful chance to begin making ourselves a wholesome part of society. We had our chances in athletics, making literary contributions to school papers, participating in school and class government, and in planning our social functions. We had the opportunity to release built up tension in our dances, proms, plays, intramural athletics and in rooting for our teams. And most of all we had the opportunity to associate more closely with the people of Lrsinus. It was up to us whether we had a little petite life or a big complete one here. This opportunity has fled, hut the cycle of life is constantly providing new ones. We start as freshmen many times and many times we become seniors only to realize that we are on the verge of kegining as freshmen again. We should have learned the path to true seniorship. for we all leave college as seniors and enter life as novice freshmen once more. Let us profit by our triumphs and our failings by building on the former and correcting the latter.
