Seals and Croft sang "We May Never Pass This Way Again' this year. They were right. Here you will find represented not 'Just another year on 'The Hill, But the year that was . The year that was what we made it. The 1974 PINE KNOT is dedicated to us. **nr~^«v .*& «.v •V' Dreams, so they say, are for fools — fften ffiey /ef f/?em c/r/ff away. Peace, like the silent dove, should be fly in9 but it's only just begun. Like Columbus in the olden days we must gather all our courage; Sail our ships out on the open sea, cast away our fears, and all the years will come and go — And take us up, up, always up. We may never pass this way again / wanna laugh while the laughing is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile. / may never pass this way again . That's why I want it with you. » ;* ***** • ' •v..- : * 1& \ !H.«8!J. JWJV; '£• fo. .v •-w"i :-. ^ *>"*• »' .» •i* U- . •#•;: .- f«5 * -' .'•• -tiirfiairi) -*a?: .

Here are some scenes from that sometimes joyous, ofttimes disappointing occasion. 28 First, there's the patient wait at the beginning of the line. When the line finally moves onward, students make their selections carefully, and even though it's not their favorite, they manage to fill their trays. 29 Things always go better with Coke . or so they say! There are the loners, and those who simply prefer each other's company. 30 And those who attract a crowd: j : Cafeteria eating is a social experience! 31 n*""k 1 1 ^H 32 Travel, Exploration, and Adventure There we were, seventeen of us camping alongside the Buffalo River in Northern Arkan­ sas under the auspices of the L.C. English Dept. Most of us were greenhorns to canoeing, having had little previous experience. Nevertheless apprehension was non-existent; opti­ mism prevailed. The trip was fabulous as we encountered few mishaps. Perhaps most rewarding was the pensive meditation inspired by the tremendous stone mountains, the beautiful scenery, and oneness with nature.
