Bergschicker - Schaumburg, IL Mark Stephen Beshirs - Virginia Beach, VA 140 Shades of Freshmen he freshmen walked onto campus that first da , with their crisp blue jeans, d~zling new sneakers, and wide, innocent eyes, and the upperclassmen called them "green:' And they were green - green as new buds on an April dogwood; green and fresh and new, and ready for college life to begin. The freshmen were a new spring for Harding; they offered the older students a brand new glimpse of the almost forgotten "outside world" as they sported the latest fashions and introduced the most recent fads to the campus. The freshmen were a breath of clean outside air after a long study session in a musty room. They hadn't gotten so run down by Cale II and B Law that they'd forgotten how to enjoy frisbee on the lawn or how to organize a Class A food fight. Even chapel was new to them, and their enthusiasm for privileges old-timers took for granted infused the upperclassmen with a new life and a new pride in Harding. Like the yearly return of spring, so new and exciting and yet so timeless, the return of the freshmen - different individuals, yet somehow the same each year - gave a sense of continuity to Harding. To seniors finishing up the last few hours of their major course work, it seemed both refreshing and poignant to hear freshmen complain about Art Appreciation, Speech 101 and Earth Science, as had generations of freshmen before them. A new springtime appeared, fresh life came to Harding, and the cycle began all over again - Educating for Eternity.~ - Sherry Daniel
