Am the hour of Kradualton approaches, memories rush
m when I pause to think back over my years here. It is
hard to beheve that there were fewt r boy* here when 1
came a« a (renhman than now make up one fraternity-—
twenty-»even to be exact
1 wa» one of the many bo>» to leave sichoot after one
year to enter the armed forces After »iRht-sceinn on the
lalands and in Japan, I returned to ACC to find many
fellow-!M?rvice men Thf student b«Kly hud doubled.
W>ien I returned, plan.n were betnn made for the con
struction of two new buildin>;.s lor the college A.s I leave
to jom the runki> of alumni, I see a dream come true.
The new nirl*' dt>rinitory ha.s been completed, and the
library in nearing completion.
Uut, Atlantic Chn»tian Ci>lleKr has meant more than
material value to us senioi.s a.s w»- ^;raduate With us
we shall take a little of the" Li){ht ol Life ' that our
kch<x)l stands fur
AC mean.s much to me bccause nf thi- i lot.eness and
fellowship of the student body and the faculty members.
There IS a spirit of friendliness here not to be found at
any other school. The contacts of friendship that I have
made during my colleijc l areer will be llfe-lon^; I am
sure
From the graduates of Atlantic Christian, I can think
of many who have distinguished tbemselves through sig
nificant .service and notable leadership. Numbered
among the ulumni are outstanding college president.s.
ministers, professors, physicians, lawyers, teachers,
bankers, and business men and women. In concluding
our enjoyable college days together, 1 would like to say
to the departing .seniors, may each of you be successful
in the field you enter

If you are tempted lo reveal
A tale to you someone has told
About another, make it pass,
Before you speak, three gates of gold:
These narrow gates First, "Is it true?”
Then, "Is it needful?" In your mind
Give truthful answer And the next
Is last and narrowest, "Is it kind’”
And if to reach your lips at last
It passes through these gateways three.
Then you may tell the tale, nor fear
What the result of speech may be.

Am I dreaming’ Can this be
t: ^e -l» thia a dance at A. C.T
It Is 1 know it la, or wby elae
a >uid theae atudenta be dancing?
W'ho la awaxKerlntE towarda me?
Me ia KoiDg to aak me to dance,
1 know he la. or why ahould he
have that amlle of pre-meditated
murder? And just to think a
few short mlnuten ago I was
planning to send a aympathy card
to the poor girl with whom he
waa dancing. (Hey, kids, check
th«- "with whom", this English
can be a thrill, agreed?) What
Mhould 1 do, stand motionless bo
that he’ll think I am a post and
hang his hat on me, or maybe
think I'm another kind of post
and hitch hla horse. I didn't
know this was a mask ball. Oh,
sorry sir. I thought you were
wearing a mask. Where did he
go, has he given up the chase?
Oh. here he comes, he's saying
something What's that? .May
you have thia dance? Why, of
course 1 waa hoping you'd ask
me (I was hoping you’d ask
me. I waa hoping for the I). D.
T.'». I waa hoping to be trapped
In an elevator. What do you
say when a mati aaka you to
dance’ "Why, yes. I'd love to,
but 1 have only one leg." Or
maybe. "Gee, that's nice of you,
but I'm waiting for a train.•'
What do you say, huh? What
would tbe great women of history
say. Joan of Arc, for example?
Oh. she'd say something In
French, and I can’t do that so
we'll eliminate her. Well, here
xoea.)
What's that? Was that my
shin you kicked? (Waa that my
shin he kicked? Oh. no, that waa
my cane I Just happened to bring
with me.) I can’t hear you.
Whafa that you're saying, you
like the music? Yes. it ia lovely
isn't it? (Music? I didn’t know
we were having music with old
Personality Boy here bellowing
in my ear.) Whafa that? Are
you hblding me too tightly? Oh.
no, 1 love to be held snugly
(Sure, tighten up, lover boy. we
don't want any space for ' the
nelghbora in here, they might
crowd In between ua. And aa for
my riba, I didn't need all of them,
anyway. One never really needs
all one’s ribs, does one? They
are so In tbe way . . What do
you a»y to a gny like this? Ask
him hlfl name .... ask about
hla family? And how is that
dear little brother of youra the
one with no nose?)
What'a that? I dance
Thank you ao much. (Yes,
dance well. I can imagine the
plctore I prewnt, a lame horse
backing from Us stall, no leaa
Here I am, eyes ablate, my head
bloody bnt unbowed. Whafa his
excuse, anyway? Too much Vlg-
aro, or whatever they feed to
other green planta.)

Step, be calla It . . . . a rip, a
snort, and a twenty yard daah.
