I ~ J Transitions Leaving with lasting • • Impresslons What was it about Harding that this year's graduates took with them and will remember in future years? Personal recollections of people, places and events co lored individual memories, and during the school year, several studen ts were asked to summarize in just one word what Harding meant to them. Gary Hanes, a graduate student, chose the word "life" to express his feelings. Greg Nance, a sen ior, picked "learning" to represent his conception of Harding, while James Walters, first-year Bible instructor, liked the term "direc tion. " But there were other attributes of Harding, subtle and intangible in nature, which left a lasting impression. Growth was one such attribute. According to the General Catalog, the development of "inte llectual , physical and spiritual values" was one goal of the University. Harding itself was a growing place, with an increas ing attendance, new buildings being constructed, new courses and problems being offered, and plans being and already made for the future. Attitude was another quality. The prevailing att itude at Harding wa s a positive , dynamic one of people who were going somewhere, but was also one of service. This was shown in the giveand-take between faculty, students and administration - the willingness of each to serve the others. How about opportunity? The sma ll size of the student body - 3000 - provided abundant opportunities for involvement. Numerous extracurricular activities provided on-the-spot experience for qualified students and training for those of lesser ability. Most students joined a social club and participated in some outside activities, and it was often said that Harding students could stay busy on a full-time basis without taking any classes. The final and probably bestremembered of these attributes was tradition. Chapel, the swings, giant oak trees, winding sidewalks, lasting friendships, academic excellence, athletic competition. Dr. Joe Pryor's bow ties, the lily pool, Belles and Beaux, Spring Sing, Time of Day, registration, the Administration Building, Neale Pryor's memory and sense of humor, long hours in the library, campaigns, Pledge Week, Homecoming , Lectureship, devotionals, campus mail and the Bell Tower are all part of this - a rich tradition indeed! Perhaps the best summation of these attributes of growth , attitude, opportunity and tradition wa s given by freshman Jay Perdue, who stated that Harding was one big "family" of Christians .
