Editor Assistant Editors Turn, Turn, My Wheel Back there in assembly you saw the seniors move up, you heard the sin­ cere program they had prepared, and you felt the undercurrent of feeling going the rounds as they contemplated a future without Edinboro. Ti.iat i» something you will not appreciate until the self same thing happens to you, for ties are made in four years that are difficult to break. Friends are go­ ing to disappear, memories will cloud over, experiences will be forgotten, activities will be missed, a way of life is going to be finished. And the sen­ iors realize this; it is being brought to their attention more and more as graduation time moves up nearer each day. These ties, made up of those four years at Edinboro, of cutting across campus, of barking their shins on stairs, of fidgeting in classroom chairs, of winking across halls, whistling at friends, talking things over seriously 01 indulging in clowning and racy conversation, are part of a way of life that will have to change. As the change occurs, new things will ir.ave to come in to take the place of the old; or at least fill the gap that will be there. And that is where the class of ’42 is fortunate. This year’s seniors, the fjrst war-time graduating class since 1918, are going out into the world where they will he quickly snapped up, whirled around, and tossed about helter skelter like leaves. They are going out in to a world of fervent activity, of unpausing, seething movement, of rapid motion. Here new things will speedily move in to take the place of the old, and there will not be time for that drawnout period of transition to take place. One thing will swiftly follow another, events will rapidly transpire— making it mandatory that every bit of attention is given to the present mo­ ment. The change will take place quickly, and it is better that way. The little things of their lives here which will constitute most of their memories will not hurt them if forgotten in transition; it is only if they for­ get the greater things they learned, the vastly more important principles and ideals and high aims and morals they have been exposed to and worked to attain, that there will be cause for weeping. If these things remain in their hearts in the days to come, as we fervidly hope they will, then Edin­ boro can point with pride to her sons and daughters and say, simply ana movingly, “These are mine.” Phi Sig Sez: Kappa Komment (PHI SIGMA PI) (Kappa Delta Phi) At a recent meeting an election The annual Phi Sigma Pi Spring Formal and Dinner will be held this of officers was held and the follow­ Saturday, May 16, at the Culbertson ing is the result: Vernon Dornbach.

Later in the morning the girls escorted their guests to the different churches in Edinboro that were regularly attend­ ed at home. By noon the sun was out to stay, and the Mother’s Day turned out to be a traditionally nice one. At one o’clock, a dining-room full of Sor­ ority girls and mothers sat down to a delicious dinner with the favorite Sorority dessert. At each guest’s place there was a gardenia corsage which wiais proudly displayed all the rest of the day. With a little time af­ ter the dinner, the girls introduced Dr. L. H.
