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.”

Sorority Celebrates Occasion
Ready for Alumni
With A Fine Program

It was a full day on May 3rd for
the Sorority girls and tiheir mothers.
They started the day with a bang-up
breakfast of sweet rolls, sausage and
all the fixings, serving it from grills
in the Sorority rooms. 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
