Well, I'm looking back over almost a two years' expanse to my honorable discharge from Southern Methodist University, and I must ask you to take it from me, that there is an after life! No matter how excit­ ing your senior year may seem, life doesn't end with college; indeed, it offers a broader richer field in the beyond.
