Welcome
Back
Rams
Hello Rams!
We’d just like to take the time
out to welcome all of you back to
a year that we hope will be
profitable and rewarding for you.
We hope that your vacation was a
pleasant and relaxing one and
that now you are ready to get
back into the swing of things.
From an academic point of
view, we’d like to encourage
every Ram to work hard and
push forward with a positive
attitude. We hope that the
semester will fly by and know
that ycur averages will fly high
with it. After all we are no. 1 in
everything!
Socially, we like to
congratulate the football team on
a magnificent season and hope
that their upcoming season will
be as good. We’d like the
basketball teams (male and
female) to know that we are
proud of them because they are
two of many reasons why we’re
rated at the top today. We’d also
like to boost the over-all school
spirit for the year 78 and remind
the Rams that we are Mighty!
Mighty!
Last, but of the gravest
importance, we’d like to thank
God for allowing us the chance to
return to college safe and sound.
It is by his grace that we have
come as far as we have as an
institution as well as an
individual.
We, the members of the News
Argus Staff, hope that we will
release a paper that you can
relate to and be proud of.
Remember, you are the
backbone of Ramland. The hump
of all humps!
To the Seniors, what can we
say? Hang in there. You’re
almost over the hump!
Serving you with a smile.

Poetic Imagery
In the poems “Metting at
Night” and "Parten at Morning”
together and separately
represent imagery of beauty and
emotion. In the first poem, the
stage is set by the bright and
dominating force of the
moonlight. The brightness is
deepened by its closeness as well.
The mixture of the moonlight
along with the gray appearance
of the land sends forth an image
of something intangible. A feeling
with elements of happiness, fear
and perhaps love. The poem
speaks of quickness and the
showing of rapidly passing
landscape. The appearance of
this seen is one which is not easy
to comprehend. The last poem,
the title “parten at Morning”
displays not a feeling of a great
awakening but one of a desolate
mood or depression. The
sunshine over the mountains
seemingly would produce
shadows of which could be
interpreted as gloom. The golden
road is the only positive aspect
that the sun acknowledges. The
color itself explains to the reader
that this road is made for only
one person of importance.
The first poem stresses images
of not definite value or setting.
The relationship between the first
part of the poem and the person
in the second come together as a
secretive and emotional idea.
The images from the first part
could be thought as ones of love
but that point seems impossible
to determine without the second.
In the second poem however,
sorrow of a lost lover is the mood
and sorrow is the main image
indicated. There is only one
character in the last poem, and
the golden road created by the
sun’s rays is set-a-side for him.
