-- "'-. -----_-1 -- -.-- Life. Life was and is everything. It took us from one day to another, and it made us laugh and It made us cry. It sent us to our rooms to study and it allowed us to put down our books and play for awhile. life held us tightly in arms of safety, but occasionally released its fond caress unveiling us before sore trails and wordly darkness. When students arrived for the fall semester they found that their Harding home was in the process of a face-lift. Construc· tlon on the new business building was underway and three new "ower beds had been planted in the front lawn. Life was going to be full of surprises. Each student had just organ· ized his basic eat, sleep, and study routine when visitors came from everywhere. Out· siders flowed in for the Fall Lec· tureship, the World Missions Workshop, and homecoming in three consecutive weekends. Once a familiar face could be found again. friends joined together for other interesting activities. Plays and lyceums entertained large audiences throughout the year, while con· certs by such top performers as Oon Williams and Juice Newton brought students in from all corners of the campus. Life was full, and when there was time to be alone for just a few minutes it was cherished. When this "quiet time" could be found, the student looked around at the handiwork the Lord had given him to make life more complete. This gave the soui a satisfied peace and the student felt he might survive until the Christmas holidays afterall. In the meantime, there was chapel to attend, exams to pass. and Spring -SIng shows to rehearse. Life was shaping our future in a world outside of Searcy. Arkansas. The United States government was on edge as if tried to relax the lives of American people. Everything would work out - the question was how. To the students of Harding University, life brought a culmination of happiness, boredom, disapPointment, worry, and relief. The most treasured gift of life was the time to experience and grow from all of these. ~ - Suzanne Johnston. ule Editor I. WES Figgins says, "Wllh ffiends like these. who needs enemies?" 2.
