e, as students, faced a great opportunity to learn, not only in class, but in our daily activities. We enjoyed the guidance of a Christian staff and faculty and the companionship of Christian peers. As freshmen, we learned to adjust to a different type of atmosphere, away from home. As sophomores, we returned anxious to see old friends and familiar places. As juniors, we settled into courses in our major fields (and began to value a high g.p.a.). As seniors, we faced a time of excitement and sadness as graduation neared. Through all four years, friends and faculty guided, helped, and carried us through. One of the primary purposes for our attendance at Harding, learning a specific profession, benefited from the abundance of opportunities for involvement. On the whole, the s-tudent body participated in everything from publications, broadcasting, and public relations to athletics and other intercollegiate competition such as forensics. Sandra Scarr and James Vander Zanden, authors of Understanding Psychology, defined learning as "a permanent change in behavior or capability that results from experience." And we experienced work, triumph, frustration, and success. Companionship and guidance of Christian teachers and peers, active participation in organizations and clubs, as well as studies in our regular courses, brought us the confidence and assurance that we were learning in line with excellence."~ - BobbY Knight section editor A warm fuzzy.
