Expressions of Friendship What is it about Harding that makes everyone want to hug each other all of the time? No one just shakes hands; there's always this huge, body-embracing, bear hug that accompanies almost everything. I'm not complaining. Sometimes those big hugs are the only thing that keeps me going, especially during really high-pressured or stressed-out times. I remember during Pledge Week when my sister-tur nedpledgemistress, hugged me for no reason on Silly Day. It made me cry, · but after that I knew I could make it through the rest of the week. Is that what this Harding Hug is all about? Is it just that little extra reassurance that makes the difference between quitting and going on? That may be part of it, but it seems like there's more. Hugs don't always mean that. Sometimes they're just a quick "helld' or maybe even "goodbye". Goodbyes are hard . They seem to happen more often here because of gradu ation. A friend of mine graduated last August and after the ceremony he gave me the biggest Harding hug I've ever received . It made saying goodbye easier. Somehow that hug communicated what we couldn't say: "I love you'~ "I'm happy for you," and "I'll miss you:' All of that, and more, was said with one hug. That's what it is. There are some things that are too hard to say and a hug takes care of all of them. And there are some people who are just so loveable that I just have to hug them whenever I see them. It seems to be the spirit of Harding; the love that results in hugs everywhere. It's kind of a one-size-fits-all-multi-purpose "I love you": the HarsH.ng H~g. 0;fJ - Lisa Underwood Just a little hug There's a hug to say I love you, And a hug to say goodbye. There's a hug to say how are you, And a hug to say we tried. There's a hug to bond a friendship, And a hug when the day zs through. But the hug that I like best, Is the hug I get from you. - Alister Hanley Charla Dawn Helm - Memphis, TN Gregory James Henderson - Searcy, AR Laura Ann Hendon - Searcy, AR Sonya Lea Hendricks - Conway, AR Blake Norman Hendrix - Baton Rouge, LA Lance Edward Hendrix - Baton Rouge, LA Cindy Michelle Henson - N.
