The simple, sincere talks straight from the hearts and lives of our fellow students have given us a new appreciation for the fullness of a life lived at its best. On Sunday evening, Febru ary 28, Ralph Langley opened the series with a stirring mes sage, "No Ceiling Price." Bob Dorr and Eleanor Israel brought their personal testi monies on Monday in chapel. Their thoughts centered around the importance and power of a life' dedicated to a definite and worthy purpose.
