/ May 25, 1957 THE CLARION PAGE SEVEN From Bird’s Eye BY KAY JOHNSON It has been two years . . . And after that fragmentary but poig nant sentence I can think of no more to say. So many thoughts rise to the surface of memory and tumble over each other in their haste to stress their foremost im- p-ortance, that not one can readily leap above the rest quite high eixC'Ugh. But then, is it actually necessary to say much m'ore? Each of us possess varied special mem ories and sentiments attached to our past two year experiences. These pleasant nostalgic thoughts belong exclusively to the individu al, so it isn’t really for me to try and express mine; you have your own ... I will say this however; for myself it has been a happy time, and there are many special people, days, events, and lovely places I shall never forget — and lessons I have learned-to stay with me al ways. Although May Day has passed, it really deserves to have some thing saiJ about it — because it was such a ‘-perfect” day. The rain clouds were so kind to scatter a bit for the sun to glimmer through, casting just enough sunshine to tinge the gray day wUh gold ... It was quite nice to sit placidly on a step and watch “Seven Wonders whirl by in all their vivid color and variety of costume. Oh, if Bev erly Ussery had lived thirty years ago! Our ‘ole gym has been magically transform.ed into blue “winter wonderlands”, old fashioned “Eng- li;;h gardens”, leafy “autumns in parks”, and o.her pastel “lands and gardens and parks. ’ Peraps ' Her Majesty’s Ship” restored a b't of dignity to the white shingled hulk and to the old varnished boards on which many hundreds of feet have danced, pounded, tr. iTiped, and run hard. She was a sea-worthy vessel and a beauty; Cap’n Bob Cantrell and his crew m.'ide her so. The dance provided the closing chapter for a perfect, unforgettable day. Vapors of steam and smoke can be sesn rising slowly from a new brick chimney on campus. The Student Union Building has breath ed its first :reulh of life. And while she it still in the state (goodness, I knew my child p:-:ycholog>' would come in handy that is two weeks cf age, you know.) we will triumphantly hurl away to the four winds oui- exam .-Us MAY DAY went on as scheduled d^pite cold wca dier and rain; the day was considerably brightened, however by the lavish decorations and lovely ladies.
