Stackpole Books, Publishers, Harris burg, Pa. In a jocular vein, one has often heard the expression: “No one is going to get out of this world alive.” In the account of Life After Life, by Banks Gets BS In Therapy Sheree L. Banks of Burns ville, N.C., will receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of North Carolina here during graduation cere monies on May 5, 1977. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Banks of Burnsville. Before entering the Divi sion of Physical Therapy in 1975 she spent two years at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is a graduate of East Yancey High School in Burnsville. Following graduation, Sheree will be involved with clinical affiliations until mid- August and, upon completion, will become a candidate for North Carolina licensure. <3 Graduates From ASU Appalachian State Univer sity conferred 1,457 degrees recently during the univer sity’s 77th spring commence ment. The degrees were awarded by ASU chancellor Dr. Herbert W. Wey. Students from Yancey County receiving degrees were Stephen Hal Angel of Penrose, B.S. in recreation; Irma A. Washam Woody of Burnsville, B.S. in library science. Students On Dean’s List Janet 0. Hensley; Farrell W. Hughes, Route 2; and Randy J. Huskins, Route 2; all of Burnsville, have been named to the dean’s list at Western Carolina University for the 1977 winter quarter according to an announce ment by Dr. Robert E. Stoltz, vice chancellor for academic affairs. Dr. Raymond A. Moody, Jr., in which he reports of interviews with over 150 persons who have experienc ed near-death or after-death encounters, one is tempted to disbelieve the above state ment. Although Dr. Moody states plainly that he is not trying to prove that there is life after death—he is merely reporting the facts as related to him-we know that 150 people cannot be telling fairytales, j Despite the wide variation in the circumstances sur rounding close calls with death and in the types of persons undergoing them, it remains true that there is a striking similarity among the accounts of the experiences themselves. One predominat ing factor is the warm, loving being of light who appears before them after they are pronounced clinically dead. Each person states that there emanates from this fantastic being an intense feeling of joy, Jove and tranquility. So much so that when the person is told that he must go back to the earth to finish his mission, he resists because he is so taken ub with his experiences in the afterlife that he does not want to return. Despite his attitude, though, he somehow reunites with his Physical body and lives. In''conclusion, we must state that in this age of vast literature on paranormal and occult phenomena. Dr. Moody has written a very timely book. For what we can learn About death may make *n important difference in the /way we live our lives. Those who have visited briefly on "the other side” and have returned, state that the development of the soul, especially in the spiritual faculties of love and know ledge, does not stop upon death. So they now have ;to correspond later with their lives “over there.” They have been granted a brief glimpse of eternity while still in their physical bodies, thus “seeing through a glass, darklv.”
