... Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty. II Corinthians 3:17 face extreme punishments lor acts Once again, school traditions are being eagerly embraced by a new wave of students. Arnateur vandals leap to spray slogans upon the Spirit Rock, rowdy fans show their appreciation of the Flames at the year's first football game—- and rude polluters continue to pile their vile trash throughout the cathpus. Though littering is not supported or condoned as other IAJ traditions are, it seems to be more prevalentthan any of the positive activities that students participate in each year. Messages given in eonvocatidn, warn ings delivered in hall meetings and instructions provided by the more civic-minded students among us have fallen on stony, or at least soda-can covered, ground.

unday, September 11, has been set aside to give honor to those individuals who have had a profound effect on our Slives: our grandparents. Some people might not agree with me and think that since grandparents are from another gen eration, they have nothing to offer "Generation X." But I believe that when we take the time to find out what kind of people our grandparents are, we learn more about ourselves. Looking back over my life, I have discovered that during each stage of growing up, my grandmother seemed to play a differ ent role. At age six, she was the coolest babysitter, letting my sisters and me stay up late and gorge ourselves on the only candy she had in the house — spearmint gumdrops. (Doesn't it seem like all elderly people keep these in a dish in their living rooms?) At age 10, she was my steady supplier of afghans and dinners out after church. She was also my link to my dad's childhood. Every Christmas, she told the story of how he burned down their barn on Christmas Eve while trying his first cigarette. She would pretend to swat at the imaginary fire with her jacket and describe how my twelve-year-old father looked as he tried to put out the blazing inferno. And every year, my dad mysteriously disap peared whenever he sensed this story would be told. At age 18, she was the source of graduation money and games of Yahtzee on rainy afternoons. When I left for college, I thanked her for buying my luggage and promised to write. I loved her, but I did not know I admired her until I read this passage in Charles Swindoll's devotional book, "Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life": > "Our cynical, self-centered society would do well to restore an invaluable antique that has been cast aside, for gotten like a dust-covered treasure: admiration. As that restoration occurs, so will the esprit de corps of our nation, the morale that once gave us pride to pull together and passion to stand alone. Our children need it. So do our youth, as well as adults. Individuals we hold in high esteem, in whom the qualities of greatness are incarnated. People who mirror the bedrock principle of solid Christian character. Those things can neither be purchased nor inher ited. Slowly, almost unawares, admiration becomes the carbon paper that transfers character qualities by the rub bing of one life against another." Now, at age 21, I have realized that the time my grand mother and I have left together is precious, and it was time she assumed a new role in my life — that of a friend. — by Amy Morris, Feature Editor
