-----~-------SENIORS__ Continued tradition of swings aids campus setting People often associate certain places and times with remembered symbols - a heart is symbolic of Valentine's Day and the Liberty Bell of Philadelphia. But what do Harding alumni leave school remembering? What symbol is representative to them of their alma mater? Perhaps the most common answer would be the white swings dotting the campus. The swings are probably one of the most beloved and traditional "symbols" the college has. They have graced the lawns at Harding for over 40 years, giving students and visitors cozy, shaded resting places from which to view the campus, and have acted as the peaceful nook for someone's private study or quiet time. They have added an old-fashioned elegance to the grounds as well as proving functional. What secrets and stories are held by the wooden frames as they stand in their permanence? How many tears and laughs have they witnessed? Many long and serious talks have taken place there. Much joking and teasing has been heard there. Friendships often grew there. The swings have seen generations come and go. Every year they watch new people come, young and fresh, to campus and they see some go - a little older and hopefully, a little wiser. How often have students commented on alumni who visit the college and almost without fail find the time to pause for a brief moment, sit in the swings and reflect - on the college, and the joys and disappointments encountered here. How often have students themselves stopped for a respite, and pondered the time they will return to visit the college, and the swings, and reflect on the secrets they left behind. 1.
