For four winters we have watched the snow bank up in heavy glittering mounds on either side of the library door; we have seen it spattered with soot and melting down into grimy puddles of water. We have seen four springs lighten the trees with soft green fuzz through which the campus lights glowed pale orange. We have kicked our feet through heaps of red maple leaves; we have swatted flies in the class- rooms; we have shivered ever cold radiators. Once we screamed Van ' s the Man and Dewey for Pres- ident at a three a. m. session of a Mock Conven- tion. We jitterbugged to Seven-Twenty in the Books , and we sighed and dipped to Indian Sum- mer . We stood in the greyness and watched three station wagons leave with our fellows. We learned army insignia, lived for the mail, wrote daily letters. We shall miss standing on the town bridges watching the quick water, eating the Bakery ' s doughnuts, see- ing the orange lights come on through the still dark- ness. MERRITT REYNOLDS — Above.
